Wonder how much the government spent on this advertisement.

The new look, aimed at thwarting counterfeiters, has several new security features, including a “3-D Security Ribbon” and an image of a bell on the front of the note that, when tilted, changes in color from copper to green. The reverse side of the bill includes a new vignette of Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

If someone wants to make counterfeit bills let them...

In all seriousness, is it REALLY worth putting all of these bells and whistles on there? In about 4-5 years, someone will figure out to re-create this and we'll be back at square 1

I thought the older "new" $100's were supposed to be counterfeit proof?
