U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve Announce Plans for Redesigned Notes
     
In an effort to stay ahead of counterfeiting, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the                    Federal Reserve System are introducing newly redesigned currency later this year. The newly redesigned bills will be safer,                    smarter and more secure and will include enhanced security features and other new designs that will help deter counterfeiting                    and protect your hard-earned money. For the first time in recent history, the newly redesigned currency will also include a subtle introduction of color, 

which will make it more burdensome to counterfeit and make it easier to distinguish denominations.
Circulation of the new series will begin in late 2003 with the issuance 		    of the redesigned $20 note. The $100 and $50 notes will follow in twelve to                    eighteen months. The redesign of the $10 and $5 notes is still under 		    consideration, but a redesign of the $2 and $1 notes is not planned.
