The $5 bill will get redesigned with a splash of purple and gray in an effort to combat counterfeiters.
The new $5 bill, which was unveiled today but won’t be released until the spring, is very similar to the already redesigned $10, $20 and $50 bills. The changes include new color, watermarks and an updated security thread.
The government wasn’t going to update the $5 bill, but reversed that decision when it was discovered the counterfeiters were bleaching $5 bills and printing fake $100 bills with the bleached paper. The new $5 bills will prevent that scam.
How does putting purple and gray paint on the bills prevent bleaching? ❓ maybe when I get into more advanced chemistry I’ll know. 😀 😎
but they can also make $100 bills out of $1 bills, it’s 80% cheaper as well.
wow a part purple bill 😎 😀
