New $100 Bill Released Today by U.S. Treasury
NOTE: TechVert Officially Launches in May with a New Design and Daily Giveaways!

The U.S. Treasury refreshes its currency every once in a while to stay a step ahead of counterfeiters, and this time they’re refreshing the new $100 bill. The new bill will contain a security feature called Motion, where each bill will contain up to 650,000 microlenses embedded in the printing which will allow for an underlying image to shift when the bill is moved. Yep, good old Benjamin Franklin is getting a facelift and here it is (we’ll add more pics as they become available):

Now I can't counterfeit no more... *hides counterfeit printing machine*

Lol, anyway, I can't believe people could actually copy almost exactly to the soon-to-be former $100 dollar bill.
