New $100 Note Design Will Make Its Debut on April 21

[Libertytree]

The new $100 note design will make its debut on Wednesday, April 21 during a ceremony at the Department of the Treasury's Cash Room.

The unveiling of the $100 note is the first step in a global multi-government agency public education program implemented by the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve Board and the U.S. Secret Service, to educate those who use the $100 note about its changes before it begins circulating.

LOL I love the first question on the page.

How Do I...

...learn how to verify that money is real?


Ares Answer: Easy, make sure that it's not a product of the Federal Reserve System, and that it's weight is in ounces.

Think about this: 70% of all U.S. paper currency value is held outside of the United States, and most of it is in the form of $100 FRNs. So unlike other denominations, it seems like the "turnover" rate will be much slower than it has been for other denominations. $100 FRNs are stored globally in the same way that many here hoard PMs. They don't see the light of day very often.

The real thing to watch out for is the day that the Treasury announces that older versions of all paper currency will expire, and there will be a window of opportunity to exchange it for the new versions. The reaction to that will be interesting.

[Ponce]

I can see where we will have an external currency and one for internal use... with the external one being more valuable.........like in Cuba.

The Peso and the new Peso.

The dollar and the new dollar.

The new $100 Note Design = Same old fiat currency and same old problems.

Nothing to see here. Move on.

[TheNocturnalEgyptian]

The $3 bill was only ever issued during a time period when stamps cost $.03; This allowed patrons to buy books of 100 stamps with just one bill and no need for change....You know, back when the change was actually worth a lot of money.

Is why they call it a factory, the need to keep the quantity it takes in pulp, cotton, & ink under a $1

No, cause they mass produce them.

rule of thumb...if you can tear it in half it is not real ;D

[jedemdasseine]

I bet it looks more "euro-y." Like every other new note design in the world.

Wait till the spate of counterfeit "super notes" arrives, with a "something must be done" reaction. Blame N. Korea again or someone else this time? Best be safe and use your MASTERCARD paytap EZ pass whateverthefvck they're calling it card.

[Silver Baron]

It's still just a ONE hundred dollar bill though.

Be afraid when they start printing the $1,000, $10,000 and $100,000 bills.
You won't have to feel left out if the Treasury ever comes up with a Million dollar bill though... EVERYONE will have some.

Unless they figure we'll be going all digital before devaluation makes $100 the new $50. oh wait, did I miss it? Economies doing along so well we need more fiat cash $100s to supply all the rich masses right...{sar.}

Everybody will have a million dollar bill but at that point, it might not be enough to buy groceries to last a week in the Zimbabwe States of America.

[Sparky]

What good does it do to produce a hard-to-counterfeit $100 note if the old notes remain viable? Wouldn't a counterfeiter simply choose to counterfeit and spend the old notes?

I'll say it again: look for the day that there is a mandated currency exchange to swap in all the new notes. This has nothing to do with devaluation, but rather identifying who is currently hoarding the old money.

Did you notice how gold is the new predominant color of the new bill? Subliminal?

Also wondering...is there a way for to determine if some type of tracking mechanism has been inserted in the bill, amongst all the glitter?

[Sparky]

The new currency will not go into circulation until Feb. 10 of next year. That will give the government time to educate the public in the United States and around the world about the changes.

This seems like an awful long time, especially since this is the fifth of five new note designs to be introduced to the public within the last several years.

It will give them time to print a few trillion dollars worth of the 'money' too...

This has been my line of thinking for a long time as well too, Sparky.

They'll probably package it as a way to clamp down on drug trafficking or something like that and say that anyone holding over $xxxx amount will be investigated the amount over confiscated

you know...who really needs that much money lying around...

Yes it will be quite interesting in deed when the older 100 dollar bills are called in. Federal Reserve Notes make confidential transactions possible the world over. If they are called in Gold and Silver might be the only money left that can still be used confidentially.

[chad]

there are rfid chips in the new $20, $50, and $100 bills that came out a few years ago. put one in the microwave for 10 seconds and see what happens.

Yeah, this is how I see it going down as well, AG.

Surely they worked in the owl sitting on the crescent moon, 3 hexagrams (666), the demon guards, and the old All-seeing eye in there somewhere? It just wouldn't be proper fiat without it.

I like the touch of gold. Gives it a nice bogus quality.

It looks like the feather is stabbing Mr. Franklin. :o

[jedemdasseine]

Anyone else here think U.S. currency is getting uglier with each new iteration?

Yes. Less dignity, too.
(not that it had much to start with, but now it just looks like toy money)

Kudos for calling it currency and not money. ;)

I didn't realize so much of our currency was held outside the US. Interesting. Maybe they wouldn't want all those fiat chickens coming home to roost. Devaluate baby! Just a thought.

[EE_]

It is my understanding that the Fed is best able to debase the currency by having it leave the country and coming back slowly. 70% sounds optimum!
