NEW DESIGN OF 100 DOLLAR BILL INTRODUCED IN BAKU
Baku, April 22 (AZERTAC). The new 100 dollar bill was unveiled in Baku, at hotel Excelsior on April 22. It was the first step to educate the public about the $100 bill changes before it begins circulating. The presentation was attended by top officials of the Embassy of United States in Azerbaijan, Azeri Ministry of Internal Affairs, Central Bank, and other guests.
The redesigned $100 note includes two new advanced counterfeit-deterrent security features, in addition to effective security features from the previous design. The features are easy for consumers and merchants to check when verifying authenticity.
The blue 3-D Security Ribbon on the front of the new $100 note contains images of bells and 100s that move and change from one to the other as one tilts the note. The Bell in the Inkwell on the front of the note is another new security feature. The image of the bell changes color from copper to green when the note is tilted, an effect that makes it seem to appear and disappear within the copper-colored inkwell.
The new design for the $100 note retains three effective security features from the previous design - the portrait watermark of Benjamin Franklin, the security thread, and the color-shifting numeral 100.
The new $100 note also displays American symbols of freedom, including phrases from the Declaration of Independence and the quill the Founding Fathers used to sign this historic document.
