The official unveiling will take place on March 27, with the new bill entering circulation in the fall. The Secret Service has said that a large portion of counterfeit money in circulation is computer-generated, and the new features will help curb a steady rise in fake cash.

USA Today reports these features also will be included on the new
My first thought was "I wonder how much all this redesigning costs? " which made me realize the old adage is true: You have to spend money to make it. So what's the emoticon for Running and Ducking?
