New 2013 $100 bill

The Federal Reserve Board on Wednesday announced that the redesigned $100 note will begin circulating on October 8, 2013. This note, which incorporates new security features such as a blue, 3-D security ribbon, will be easier for the public to authenticate but more difficult for counterfeiters to replicate.

The new design for the $100 note was unveiled in 2010, but its introduction was postponed following an unexpected production delay. To ensure a smooth transition to the redesigned note when it begins circulating in October, the U.S. Currency Education Program is reaching out to businesses and consumers around the world to raise awareness about the new design and inform them about how to use its security features. More information about the new design $100 note, as well as training and educational materials, can be found at www.newmoney.gov

NOTE: The web address newmoney.gov has since changed to uscurrency.gov . -Editor

Dave Bowers forwarded a CNNMoney article headlined "For only the fourth time in history, there will be a new $100 bill.". Dave's subject line was "How about the 11th-ish time! 4th time indeed.". -Editor
