New $100 Bill: Bells! Ribbons!
By Jacob Goldstein, NPR Planet Money, 4/21/10
The government just posted pictures of the new $100 bill. Here's what it looks like.
The $100 is a favorite of counterfeiters, for obvious reasons, and the government's rolling out new bills to try and make life harder for them. It seems like the old antibiotics-versus-bacteria thing, where the pathogens/counterfeiters are always catching up to the drugs/government.

The new hundreds will enter circulation in February of next year.
