New $5 bill goes into circulation - Los Angeles Times

Customs officials had no plans to upgrade the $5 bill until they discovered that counterfeiters were bleaching $5 bills and printing $100 bills on the paper because the security thread was in the same spot on both. In addition, both bills contained a portrait watermark in the same spot, making them difficult to distinguish.

I like that some other colors are being added to our currency besides greedy green. I'd like to be able to look in my wallet at a stack of money and tell by the color what I've got. |
