The Printing Of New Notes

By Alxa Roffel


October 2013 saw a new era for the hundred dollar notes in US. Newly designed colourful 100$ notes were led into circulation. This of course was done to get rid of the counterfeit notes and was good news for shops and businesses which were willing to verify the money.

It was announced that the 100 bill will be printed and circulated by the February of 2011, but somehow the proposal got reject due to problems in the notes and was postponed later to be circulated from October 2013. The 100$ US currency note is one of the most counterfeited note outside United States and therefore the notes were reprinted after long research to get notes with new security features implied on them.

As found the new 100$ notes circulated in the country is rightfully the most advanced and technologically updated bills that the country has produced up till now. The use of a blue colour ribbon was made to ensure that it becomes easier for people to differentiate between the fake and the originals.

Also it is the only US dollar note available today that doesn't have the picture of a building that is located in the Washington DC, but has the image of the Independence Hall that can be found on the reverse. There is a particular time marked on the clock of the independence hall which is 4:10 on the traditional notes, except 10:30 was printed on a series of notes that were released in 2013.

Despite of the fact that the newly created currency notes did cost a bit higher as compared to the old notes, however the notes had more circulating period and thus it was profitable for the long run. This was also beneficial in other sense, as the 100$ notes were something that was very often counterfeited in comparison to other currency notes in the country. Some counterfeiters were able to create such quality of counterfeit notes that were impossible to detect as fakes, considered as fake notes. However with the availability of the new security features in the notes, it becomes very difficult to replicate them.

It was also found that the image of the Liberty bell in the inkwell also changes as the user views the 100$ note. The new 100$ bill introduced then had the colour shifting ink. As you look through the note, you can find an inkwell at the bottom right of the note, carefully looking at it you can find an image of a green bell inside the copper coloured inkwell present on the front of the bill. Also as you tilt the note, you can observe it changing colour from green to copper, which makes the bell appear and disappear in the inkwell.

It has a new blue colour ribbon, three dimensional, which was not printed on the notes instead woven in the paper. There was also security strip added to the left of the face of Benjamin Franklin and it was only visible when viewed against the light. There is also a faint image visible in the black space on the right, which is visible on both the sides of the note. As you tilt the note back and forth, the liberty bell image and the number 100 number keep alternating.

The security features of the new printed notes were discussed for around a decade as the Federal Reserve wanted to have a 100$ US currency that is extremely difficult to counterfeit. Considering the fact that the 100 US dollar currency note is one of the most counterfeited notes outside the country, it was a necessary step. Use of micro printing and Raised printing was also done to add to the security feature of the currency.
