The new design for the $100 bill will be unveiled next month, per the Treasury Department. The info will be on the BEP website 4/21 - doesn't say when they'll go in to circulation though.

2009 Series - correct?

I hope its a nice design because it will be the new $1 bill and we will be using a lot of them when hyper-inflation rears it head.

Well the new $100 was unveiled today - I like the note but it is VERY busy w/ the colors and security features...


A nice PDF from the BEP on the new $100 -

Horrible, what grade shool drop out designed this??? Looks like some computer geek in the 9th grade just started vomiting out security features from a build your own currency website! Why is the denomination spelled out at the top? Why is the giant 100 covering part of Independence hall? Granted I've hated every big head design since they started with the 78-point font on the back of the $50 in 1997, but this is just absolute *spoon*!

The large 100 on the reverse is for the visually impaired.

According to the BEP and US Secret Service, the more security features on the $100 note the better. The $100 note is the most circulated and most counterfeited in the world.

What gets me is Ben Franklin's green head! Why is his head green? Is he sick or something?

I like the design, except for the inkwell. I hope its not so in-your-face in hand as it is on the image.

The thing I find most interesting is they mark notes as "SPECIMEN" to make them worthless, yet notes marked "SPECIMEN" become instant collectibles worth many multiples of face value. Your government at work.
