New, high-tech $100 bill coming in October

NBC News: After a three-year hiatus, the US Federal Reserve says redesigned $100 bills will be ATMs and banks on October 8. 

The new bill will have several features the Fed says will make life difficult for counterfeiters, but should help retailers identify fakes.

They include a blue, 3-D security ribbon embedded with images of bells that change to the number 100 when you tilt the note back and forth. If you tilt it side to side, those images move up and down.
