To frustrate counterfeiters, the Treasury Department has given the $100 bill a complete overhaul, and will begin releasing the new currency in a matter of weeks. Treasury spent nearly 10 years on the redesign and has added any number of state-of-the-art features: microprinting, color-shifting ink, a polymer security thread.
