New Five Dollar

A new five - dollar bill with high-tech security features and new colors made a digital debut Thursday, the first time the US government has exclusively used the Internet to unveil its paper money.

“It’s new. It’s more advanced. It’s more secure,” a voice announces over music as an image of the bill bearing the likeness of president Abraham Lincoln tumbles and swirls into view.

Officials from the US Treasury, Federal Reserve Board, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the US Secret Service were part of the preview, dubbed “Wi-5,” an entirely digital event which emphasized the government’s commitment to staying ahead of counterfeiters.

The live “unveiling” of the five-dollar bill design, which featured government officials discussing currency security efforts, took place on http://www.moneyfactory.gov/newmoney.
