New 1 dollar note

The new $1 bill!

The United States Treasury Department introduced a new design for the $1 bill in 2013, which features several security enhancements and updates to the design. Here are some of the key changes:

Security Features:

  1. Color-Shifting 100-Dollar Sign: The numeral "100" in the lower right corner of the bill changes from copper to green when tilted.
  2. 3D Security Ribbon: A woven strip featuring images of Liberty Bells and 100s that shift and change as you tilt the bill.
  3. Bell in the Inkwell: A color-shifting Liberty Bell in the lower right corner of the bill that changes from copper to green.
  4. Microprinting: Tiny text that reads "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DOLLAR" along the border of the bill.
  5. Watermark: A transparent image of Abraham Lincoln's portrait that appears when held up to light.

Design Updates:

  1. Portrait of Abraham Lincoln: The portrait of the 16th President is now more prominent and centered on the bill.
  2. Inkwell and Quill: The inkwell and quill have been updated to be more detailed and realistic.
  3. Border: The border of the bill features a new design with a repeating pattern of 100s and Liberty Bells.

These security features and design updates make the new $1 bill more difficult to counterfeit and more visually appealing.
