The Five Spot Gets a Make Over and an Online Unveiling

What’s the best way to flaunt your stepped up security measures in the face of counterfeiters? Lay it out for all the world to see and electronically touch. That’s what the US Treasury has planned, as it’s just announced that, for the first time, they will be digitally unveiling a newly redesigned bill, the five dollar note to be specific, on the web come mid-September. We’re not entirely sure how this differs from, say, the Google image search we just did to find the adjacent image accompanying this post, seeing approximately eight million different jpgs of a five dollar bill, but hey, who are we to call foul? Certainly not loyal citizens who should be placed on any sort of watch list.
