New U.S. currency launches. A new $100 bill is here from years in the making to prevent counterfeiting. A PPN service review.

PPN Service Review: The new $100 bill offers a variety of new security features that took years to develop. These new enhancements are designed to prevent counterfeiting but almost can be mistaken for money used in a board game. The advanced security features include a blue 3-D Security Ribbon (bells changing into 100's), the Bell in the Inkwell that changes color, and offers a simpler way to verify that a $100 is real. If you’ve noticed a person raising a bill into the air, it isn’t over. If you hold the bill to the light you can see an image of Benjamin Franklin to the right of the portrait. These images are visible from both sides of the note.

These are just some of the new features and to know more and to watch the video, access www.newmoney.gov/uscurrency/redesigned100.htm.
