The Most Widely-Counterfeited U.S. Note
When it comes to currency, it’s all about the Benjamins! No other note makes people’s eyes pop quite like good ol’ Ben Franklin on the United States $100 bill. But the history of the note incudes a nefarious tale of crime that plagued the nation for decades!
A Favorite of Internal Criminals?
While Franklin lives large on the current note, from 1928 to 1993 the U.S. $100 Paper Currency Note featured a smaller portrait of Benjamin Franklin. It wasn’t until 1996 that a larger portrait was used. One of the suspected reasons for the change was to improve anti-counterfeiting efforts, as the $100 bill is targeted by counterfeiters more than any other denomination. In fact, it’s believed that 75% of all $100 bills are held internationally — where overseas syndicates and “money factories” attempt to replicate them for criminal purposes.
This particular note is no phony; it’s the genuine article and was printed between 1977 and 1990. Date varies, but your note will arrive in Very Fine (VF) condition.
