Remember Windows 98? It seems that the same problems are plaguing the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The Series 2009 issue designed in 2008 was unveiled on April 10, 2010 slated to appear in circulation on February 2011. As of this post there has been no release date set. Production was halted on December 2010 because of a flaw that caused 30% of them to be unusable. A vertical crease in the paper called a gutter revealed a blank space when the fold was pulled out.

It is one of two notes that do not feature a U.S. President (Alexander Hamilton is the other, On the $10).

In a high tech makeover to foil counterfeiters many new features have been added or changed on the new note.

On the Front: U.S. statesman, inventor and diplomat Benjamin Franklin is currently featured on the obverse of the bill. He has been joined by a disappearing Liberty Bell in an inkwell and a bright blue security ribbon composed of thousands of tiny lenses that magnify objects in mysterious ways. Move the bill and the objects move in a different direction. In addition, to the left of Franklin's portrait, will be an inkwell that will change color from copper to green when the note is tilted. The movement will also make a Liberty Bell appear and disappear inside the inkwell.

On the back: On the reverse of the banknote is an image of Hall. The clock shows 4:10. If converted to 4 and 10 as a date of April 10. The unveiling of April 10, corresponds with the 100th day of a non-leap year. The numeral 4 on the clock face is "IV", while the real Independence Hall has "IIII". ENJOY!!!
