The New Five Dollar Bill

Came across some previews of the new Five Dollar Bill, set to be put in to circulation in later this month or next. The $5 is the latest bill to get a colorful makeover. Working down from the highest denominations, the $1 is the only one left, before a new round of redesigns begin again.





I've read before that, despite the technological improvements to US currency (you can see some of the tech-designs in the new bill here), it is still the most counterfeited money in the world. I wonder, what with the falling value of the dollar, if that won't change.

And still, European money is more secure than US - using holograms, perforations, and raised text. Yet another thing we'll surely steal from the Europeans.
