Billions of redesigned $100 bills with anti-counterfeit features began to be distributed by the Federal Reserve on the banks on Tuesday as the U.S. central bank declared.

The Fed declared in a statement that the $100 includes two new security features which are a blue three- dimensional security ribbon with image of bells and a color –changing bell in an inkwell, in addition it retains the image of American statement and scientist Benjamin Franklin.
