WASHINGTON The new $100 bill, with an array of high-tech features designed to thwart counterfeiters, will get its coming out party on Tuesday, partial government shutdown or not. However, what many do not know is the limited release of the 'Black Note', a moniker given in recognition of the 44th president, Barack Obama.
Depending on the bill you recieve from your local bank the value to currency-collectors could go as high as $15,000 each,
according to the Boston Globe.
These are official Federal Reserve notes embossed in a black color, still chock full of the multi-colored security features. The Globe explains that these "fancier" (meaning more rare, and thus more collectible) black notes are to be released nationwide the same time as the orthodox new $100 bills.
There will be more than one such bill, because each issuing Federal Reserve Bank prefaces the serial number with a letter code designating which bank produced the bill. There will be up to 44 such bills produced.
