Businesses and consumers will see their money move in a whole new way now that the $100 note has been redesigned. The redesigned $100 note will begin circulating on October 8, 2013, and has two new security features: a blue 3-D Security Ribbon and a color-shifting Bell in the Inkwell.
The ribbon seems to be three-dimensional with bells and numeral 100s appearing to float or glide above the ribbon as you move the note. If you tilt the note back and forth, the bells and 100s move side to side. If you tile it side to side, they move up and down.
A second new security feature on the redesigned $100 note, also on the front of the note, is the Bell in the Inkwell. At first, the bell blends with the inkwell because they are the same copper color, but when you tilt the note, the bell changes color to green. This color shift makes the bell seem to appear and disap
pear within the inkwell.
In addition to these new security features, three highly effective security features from the old $100 note design were retained: 

• Portrait Watermark – Hold the note to light to see a faint image of Benjamin Franklin in the blank space to the right of the large portrait. It is visible from either side of the note.
•  Security Thread – Hold the note to light to see an embedded thread that runs vertically to the left of the portrait. The letters USA and the numeral 100 appear in an alternating pattern and can be seen from both sides of the note. The thread glows pink when illuminated by ultraviolet light.
•  Color-Shifting 100 – Tilt the note to see the numeral 100 in the lower right corner of the front of the note change from copper to green.
