I didn't realize there were problems with the current $100 bill, but they will start issuing newer ones next February. There is bound to be some confusion as there will be at least 3 versions of the $100 bill circulating at that point. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704133804575197990310606472.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_sections_news Wall Street Journal: U.S. Unveils New $100 Bill WASHINGTON—Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke unveiled a new $100 bill equipped with two new security features. The bill will go into circulation Feb. 10, 2011. The Fed, along with the Treasury Department, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the U.S. Secret Service, "continuously monitor the counterfeiting threats" for each denomination and redesign decisions are made based on those threats, Mr. Bernanke said. "This job has become more complex in recent years as technology advances and U.S. dollar flows expand and increase," he added. The bill—the highest denomination of all U.S. notes—circulates widely around the world, with circulation in the past 25 years growing to $890 billion from $180 billion. About two-thirds of all $100 notes circulate outside the U.S.; Mr. Bernanke said the agencies must ensure people around the world are aware of the design change. Over the next several months, officials at the agencies will work to educate cash handlers, consumers and others about the design and explain how to use its security features. The 6.5 billion or so $100 notes in circulation now will remain legal tender, Mr. Bernanke said. The new bill's security features include a blue 3-D Security Ribbon on the front of the note that contains images of bells and 100s, which move and change from one to the other as you tilt the note, according to joint release from the agencies. Another security feature is the "Bell in the Inkwell" image that changes color from copper to green when the note is tilted, an effect that makes it appear and disappear within the inkwell. (For more on the redesigned note and its features, visit www.newmoney.gov.) "As with previous U.S. currency redesigns, this note incorporates the best technology available to ensure we're staying ahead of counterfeiters," Mr. Geithner said. The new design for the $100 note retains three effective security features from the previous design: the portrait watermark of Benjamin Franklin, the security thread, and the color-shifting numeral 100. |

Important news for you guys who pay in Colones from today's AM Costa Rica: Wildlife abounds on bills announced by Banco Central By the A.M. Costa Rica staff The Banco Central de Costa Rica plans to introduce new currency in a few months. The new bills are dominated by graphics of a monkey, sloth, a bird, butterfly, a shark and a Guanacaste tree. The brightly colored bills are different in width so that the blind can recognize a denomination. The smallest denomination is the narrowest. The bank said that new denominations of 20,000 colons and 50,000 colons would be introduced. The highest denomination now is 10,000 colons (almost $20), so a large amount of cash can be a big bundle. |
