TRICKIER WATERMARK CREEPIER PORTRAIT 3D SECURITY RIBBON When held to light, a faint duplicate image of Ben Franklin emerges Franklin rises ever so slightly off the paper, and his eyes seem more life-like than before A blue ribbon woven into the paper uses 650,000 microlenses to produce dancing 3D Liberty Bells and $100 numerals ONE LUNDRED DOLLARS 100 Н.

It now shows the Hall's back side The new time is on the bell tower clock is 10:30 not the traditional 4:10 The inkwell has a green Liberty Bell on its face that appears and disappears A larger «100» makes the note more accessible to the visually impaired. And it adds color gradiation to it, which makes it harder and more costly to counterfit DESIGNED BY: Angelina Ignatova SOURCES: http://www.cnbc.com http://www.bloomberg.com COL wwwwwMMAMAMAMAAA
