New $100 bill to debut Tuesday

The new U.S. $100 bill is designed to make life harder for counterfeiters.

The bill, which goes into circulation Tuesday, represents the most technologically advanced U.S. currency ever produced, the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas said in an announcement.

The new bill, which goes into circulation Tuesday, has two new security features.

A blue security ribbon on the front of the note is 3D and contains images of either the Liberty Bell or the number "100," each in vertical rows. When the bill is moved back and forth or side to side, a row of 100s moves to the ribbon's center position, replacing a row of bells.

1. I would really like to see a new bill passed that will pay off our national debt.

Getting really tired of this tennis match....

2. Are they cocaine-proof?

5. Wouldn't "cocaine-proof" for a $100 bill work better for cocaine?

I'm visualizing a rolled-up C-note that won't permit the coke to touch the inside diameter of the bill...so it just goes right up the middle, none of it getting stuck in the bill. Laminar flow, kind of.

9. A $1 bill works just as well as a $100 bill. n/t

4. The ones I buried in the desert near Albuquerque, in container drums,

will they still be good?

6. They should just go ahead and print as much as they need to double the debt ceiling.

Don't tell the rethugs!!!

7. Don't care what it looks like...

as long as there's space for a wheresgeorge stamp somewhere on it.

8. Who the heck carries them anyway?

I certainly don't carry $100 bills. I'm rich if I've got a couple of $20s in my wallet.

10. I never have more than a few $1 bills in my wallet. n/t
