Security and Design Feature Spotlight:
Know Its Features. Know It's Real.

Take a closer look at the advanced security features of the $100 note:

3-D Security Ribbon
The 3-D Security Ribbon is a blue ribbon on the front of the $100 note with images of bells and 100s. Tilt the note back and forth while focusing on the ribbon. As you move the note, you will see the bells change to 100s as they move.

Bell in the Inkwell
The Bell in the Inkwell is a color-shifting bell, inside a copper inkwell. Tilt the note to see the bell change from copper to green, an effect which makes the bell seem to appear and disappear within the inkwell.
