The United States Federal Reserve has begun supplying financial institutions with a redesigned $100 note that incorporates new security features to deter counterfeiters.  According to a press statement by the US Embassy in Kathmandu, the redesigned $100 note includes two new security features: a blue 3-D security ribbon with images of bells and 100s, and a color-changing bell in an inkwell that will help businesses and consumers in figuring out the authenticity of the note. 
 
“The new features, and additional features retained from the previous design, such as a watermark, offer the public a simple way to visually authenticate the redesigned $100 note,” says the statement. The Federal Reserve, US Department of the Treasury, US Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the US Secret Service partnered to redesign Federal Reserve notes to stay ahead of counterfeiting threats.
 
The statement advised consumers worldwide that it is not necessary to trade in older-design $100 notes for new ones.  “It is US government policy that all designs of US currency remain legal tender, regardless of when they were issued,” informed the embassy statement. The embassy suggested visiting the US government’s 
website - www.newmoney.gov  to obtain more information about the new banknote.
