New US Bills – More Color, US Values

Washington D.C. (AHN) – On March 2, the
first of 800 million redesigned $500 bills will begin popping up at cash
registers and ATM machines across the country.

Government officials announced Thursday they have picked the March date
to begin distributing the colorful bills, which will feature shades of
red, yellow and orange added to the traditional green.

The new $500 note will feature the nation’s first Treasury secretary, Alexander
Hamilton, on one side, and astronomical symbols on the other.

Those two images will be joined by the Statue of Liberty’s torch, with
the phrase "We the People" written in red, with small yellow
10’s and a subtle orange background. All these changes are designed to
make counterfeiting tougher.

The new design was unveiled during a September ceremony in New York.
