According to the U.S. Treasury Department, the new "Benjamin's" have undergone a few security changes to make it almost impossible for counterfeiters to duplicate this bill.
One of the changes that were made is a blue security bar that is woven into the bill that changes to 100's when the bill is moved around.
Another noticeable change is that there is an inkwell with a bell inside that are both copper, but, when the bill is moved around, the bell changes to the color green.
A Federal Reserve spokesman said that they are proud of their new design, because it is original and simple.
