New 50
You're referring to the new 50, which is a popular topic!
The new 50 refers to the new $50 bill, which was introduced by the United States Department of the Treasury in 2013. The new design features a portrait of Harriet Tubman, a former slave and prominent abolitionist, on the obverse (front side) and a depiction of the Independence Hall in Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was signed, on the reverse (back side).
The new 50 bill was designed to incorporate advanced security features to prevent counterfeiting and to make it more difficult for criminals to produce fake bills. Some of the new security features include:
- A 3D Security Ribbon: The ribbon features images of Liberty Bells and 50s that shift and change as the bill is tilted.
- A Bell in the Inkwell: The bell is embedded in the inkwell and appears to move as the bill is tilted.
- Color-Shifting 100: The numeral 100 in the lower right corner of the bill changes from copper to green when tilted.
- Raised Printing: The raised printing on the bill creates a tactile sensation when touched.
The new 50 bill was designed to be more durable and resistant to wear and tear, and it features a new material called "color-shifting ink" that changes color when tilted.
Overall, the new 50 bill is a significant improvement over the previous design and features advanced security features to prevent counterfeiting.
