The Hundred Dollar Bill

If I was to choose a printed bill that I find inspiring it would have to be the American Hundred with Benjamin franklin. There are currently around 7.4 billion newer versions of the hundred dollar bills out there and it has been in circulation since 1996. In an article I read it says that most hundred dollar bills are held outside the United States. I’m curious as to why that might be. In the start of the article it talks about the design of the bill to make it easier to authenticate and harder to counterfeit. I know this may seem lame because I didn’t choose a cool looking printed currency. The reason I chose Benjamin is because no matter what type of money it is ill cherish. The design of the bills actually make me want to save them. Almost all the American hundreds are crisp and clean, not a lot of color or show to them. This loses my attention and helps me save them, if I liked seeing my bills I would spend them more. Secondly seeing Benjamin Franklin an all-around smart guy reminds me to be smart with my money every time I were to look at him. What I really dislike about the bill is the orange “100” on the bottom right of the dollar, it’s flashy and I don’t want people to see it’s a Hundred.
