The US Federal Reserve has began
supplying financial institutions with a redesigned $100 note that incorporates
new security features to deter counterfeiters and help businesses and consumers
tell whether a note is genuine, according to the US embassy.
The redesigned $100 note
includes two new security features: a blue 3-D security ribbon with images of
bells and 100s, and a colour-changing bell in an inkwell, it said, adding that
the new features, and additional features retained from the previous design
like a watermark, offer the public a simple way to visually authenticate the
redesigned $100 note. "Consumers worldwide are advised that it is not
necessary to trade in older-design $100 notes for new ones."It is US government policy that all designs of US currency remain legal tender, regardless of when they were issued, it added.
