Watch the video link given below with details of the new US$100 Note:
The
above are front and back specimen images of the new and redesigned one hundred
US dollar note that begins circulation on 8 October 2013, which is just five
days from now. The new note will have two new features, 3-D security ribbon and
bell in the inkwell. Let us learn a bit more above the brand new design of the
note. Video link is also given above.
New features of the Redesigned $100 Note:
Number one and two below are new and
technologically-advanced features, while the third is an additional
feature:

security ribbon:
The note has a blue ribbon on its front.
If you tilt the note back and forth while focusing on the blue ribbon, you will

color-shifting bell inside a copper-colored inkwell. If you tilt it, you’ll see
the bell change from copper to green.

What are the merits of the new note?
One big advantage of the
new note is that it’s difficult to counterfeit or replicate due to the new
design features mentioned above. It’ll be easier for the public to authenticate

Several highly effective
features were also retained from the previous design, including the portrait
watermark, the security thread, and the color-shifting numeral 100.
