The New US $100 Note

The new US$100 note is touted as being difficult to counterfeit, which is bit rich as the bill itself has been counterfeited at the time of production by the Treasury as it is just a mental concept of money with no intrinsic worth in itself. Unlike earlier forms of money in gold and silver coin, which even when debased by successive Emperors, Kings and Presidents still retained some intrinsic value.

If you are into symbols it seems the left side of the new note represents the old currency, green and the right side the new, with gold coloured text and symbols, but no amount of bling is going to change the fact that it is still an un-backed piece of cotton trash
