Chances are that you’ve already seen the new five dollar bill, but if you haven’t already, you should be on the look out for it. By visiting the above link you can check out some of the new security features and check out the new design.

The new bill has more of a European look to it than any previous bills. The most telling feature of the bill is the big purple number five on the back of the bill in the lower right hand corner. Many people seem to think that it’s a little odd, but I don’t really mind it. It’s supposed to help people differentiate it from other bills at a quick glance.

It isn’t anything that’s going to change the way you handle your finances, but I thought you should be aware of the change. So don’t be alarmed when you see the big purple five. You can save it just like any other bill.
