38. The U.S. Treasury Department has redesigned
paper money for the first time in fifty-seven years.
The new bills now have a polyester stripe and tiny
letters saying “United States of America” around
the portrait on each bill. The reason for the change
is that the Treasury Dept. fears that new,
sophisticated color copy machines could produce
counterfeit bills that could pass for real bills.
Copy machines cannot pick up the polyester stripe because it will not reflect light. The tiny letters around the portrait cannot reflect light either, so these new bills will not be easy to counterfeit.
