Golden 100
A crisp 2009A U.S. $100 Bill taken with a Nikon D5500, Tamron 16-300mm at 86mm and 3 extension tubes: 12, 20, 36.
The photo measures 1 3/16 inch (3cm) wide and 7/8 inch (2cm) high including the ruler.
There are a number of anti-counterfeit measures, one of which is the change in color of the numerals "100" from copper/gold to green depending on the angle held.
Below the Serial Number is a continuous string of "100USA" that begin upside down and curves around a white oval space which when held up to the light reveals the face of Benjamin Franklin. The "100USA" eventually turns right side up as can be seen to the right of the "B."
The words in the background were taken from the Declaration of Independence. Very interesting and curious that the latter part of the phrasing in the following passage appears above the "100."....out of all the other sentences in the document!
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.."
Due to the financial crisis of 2007-2008, the 2009 Series A Bill didn't go into circulation until 2013.
