High tech $100 bills
Thursday, April 22, 2010
It's all about the 3D benjamins. Treasury unveils new high-tech $100 bills with '3-D Security Ribbon':
You won't need special glasses to spend the new $100 bills - even if they do boast 3-D technology.
The new currency introduced Wednesday features a variety of new security measures, including a blue "3-D Security Ribbon" that features tiny Liberty Bells.
The bells change to the number 100 when the bill is tilted, one of several changes that Treasury officials hope will frustrate counterfeiters. The 3-D strip is actually woven into the bill, rather than printed on the paper.

So, how much does it cost now to make $100 bills? Under $100 I hope.
I don't like it. It looks too much like the currencies from Europe. I think we should stand out and be different. Not follow. That and I would prefer we were using gold and silver instead, something at least that has real value.

We do not have near enough gold to provide the value. Even more so after Obama printed over 1 trillion dollars last year to pay for the stimulus that had no effect.
