The US Federal Reserve recently updated the hundred-dollar bill. The old design was starting to show it’s age, plus it was vulnerable to counterfeiting. The new hundreds are instantly recognizable and harder to forge. They are more colorful and have more advanced security features, including a spiffy new blue holographic security ribbon. It’s a significant upgrade and a major improvement from the old design, but American money still pales in comparison to bills from other countries. The new hundreds look cool, but the Federal Reserve needs to step up its game if it wants to compete with the rest of the world. Euros look cooler. Canadian dollars look cooler. Even Mexican pesos look cooler than American money. The hundreds are the best designed bill that we have in our arsenal, but it’s not that impressive compared to other currencies. We are behind the times.
