The 5$ Bill (Redesigned Currency)
A new $5 bill design was unveiled to the public in late September 2007 and will enter circulation in early 2008. A new redesign $100 bill will follow.This redesigned currency is safer, smarter and more secure:
Safer because it is harder to fake and easier to check;
Smarter to stay ahead of savvy counterfeiters; and
More secure to protect the integrity of United States currency, making it easier for businesses and consumers to check the new $5 bills they receive and more difficult for counterfeiters to fake.
The new $5 bill incorporates state-of-the-art security features that are easy to use by cash handlers and consumers alike. Hold the bills up to the light to check for these features:
Watermarks: There are now two watermarks on the redesigned $5 bill. A large number "5" watermark is located to the right of the portrait replacing the previous watermark portrait of President Lincoln found on the older design $5 bills. A second watermark - a column of three smaller "5"s - has been added to the new $5 bill design and is positioned to the left of the portrait.
There are now two watermarks on the redesigned $5 bill. A large number “5” watermark is located to the right of the portrait, replacing the previous watermark portrait of President Lincoln found on older design $5 bills. Its location is highlighted by a blank window incorporated into the background design. A second watermark — a column of three smaller “5”s — has been added to the new $5 bill design and is positioned to the left of the portrait. Hold your bill up to the light and look for the two new watermarks.
Security Thread: The embedded security thread runs vertically and is now located to the right of the portrait on the redesigned $5 bill. The letters "USA" followed by the number "5" in an alternating pattern are visible along the thread from both sides of the bill. The thread glows blue when held under ultraviolet light.

The embedded security thread glows blue when held under ultraviolet light. Hold your bill up to the light and look for the embedded security thread.
