Treasury the company that prints and makes the US money has invented a new hundred dollar bill that will frustrate the people that make counterfeit money but it helps many people from getting played into a counterfiet hundred dollar bill. The way it works is pretty amazing. The new hundred dollar bill has a bell on the right hand bottom which if you tilt in a certain way will turn into the number 100. The bill will release on Feb. 10, 2011. It also features a color-changing inkwell and Liberty Bell to the right of Franklin's portrait on the bill.An embedded thread to Franklin's left will glow pink when placed under UV light. And the words "The United States of America" will be microprinted on Franklin's jacket. It was suppose to be released in 2008 then it was delayed so they can make more advanced security enhancements. Now the question is wil lthere be a criminal smart enough to make a counterfeit hundred dollar bill when the new one comes out? Lets hope not.
