Here's a look at its evolution:1862 Original IssueThe original $100 bill, issued in 1862, featured Abraham Lincoln and was part of the Legal Tender Notes series.The reverse side depicted intricate scrollwork and patterns as a basic anti-counterfeiting measure.Late 19th Century Silver Certificates and Gold CertificatesBy the late 1800s, the $100 bill appeared in Silver Certificates and Gold Certificates versions, backed by physical silver or gold held by the U.S. Treasury.Gold Certificates (issued from 1865) featured Thomas Hart Benton on the $100 bill.Silver Certificates later used James Monroe and eventually Benjamin Franklin for the $100 bill.1929 Introduction of Small-Size NotesIn 1929, U.S. currency was standardized in size to make it more uniform, and the familiar portrait of Benjamin Franklin was introduced on the $100 bill.The reverse side featured Independence Hall for the first time, solidifying the imagery we know today.1969 Elimination of Larger DenominationsThe $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 bills were discontinued, making the $100 bill the highest denomination in circulation, adding to its prominence in U.S. currency.1996 First Major RedesignIn 1996, the $100 bill was redesigned to incorporate advanced anti-counterfeiting features, such as a watermark, color-shifting ink, and a security thread that glowed under ultraviolet light. These features were introduced as part of efforts to combat increasingly sophisticated counterfeiting.2013 Current DesignThe latest redesign, issued in 2013, retained Benjamin Franklin but added new features for security and accessibility.New Security Features: The 2013 design includes a 3D blue security ribbon and a color-shifting Liberty Bell in an inkwell, both of which move or change color when tilted.The large gold 100 on the back of the bill aids those with visual impairments.Modern Aesthetic: The 2013 version also enhanced the vibrancy of the bill with color accents in blue and gold, while keeping Franklins image front and center.Significance and Global UseThe $100 bill is one of the most widely circulated U.S. currency notes worldwide, valued both for transactions and as a store of value. It is the most widely held U.S. bill outside the United States, where it is often treated as a stable currency in times of economic uncertainty.The bills history reflects not only changing design aesthetics but also evolving security needs and the enduring legacy of Benjamin Franklin as a symbol of American ingenuity and independence.
