The New $100 Bill
Proving that the US Department of Treasury actually has a sense of humor, they released a new $100 bill. It’s as if they are trying to get our minds off the turmoil in Washington over money. What better way to forget about old problems of spending and debt, than to introduce a new bill? It’s like wiping the slate clean.
Our research department assembled the answers to a few frequently asked questions:
How much does it cost to make the new $100 bill?
12.5 cents. (Pretty good return on investment, right?)
There is a specific pattern of small circles on the currency called the EURion constellation. If that pattern is detected, it won’t make a copy. Check the back of a $20 bill.
What's the real reason for the new $100 bill?
Technology has made counterfeiting easier, so the new bill has a lot of anti-forgery features (maybe a few that aren’t public).
