<Li> October 8 , 2013 : The newest $100 bill was announced on April 21 , 2010 , and entered circulation on October 8 , 2013 . In addition to design changes introduced in 1996 , the obverse features the brown quill that was used to sign the Declaration of Independence ; faint phrases from the Declaration of Independence ; a bell in the inkwell that appears and disappears depending on the angle at which the bill is viewed ; teal background color ; a borderless portrait of Benjamin Franklin ; a blue `` 3D security ribbon '' ( trademarked `` Motion '' by Crane Currency ) on which images of Liberty Bells shift into numerical designations of `` 100 '' as the note is tilted ; and to the left of Franklin , small yellow 100s whose zeros form the EURion constellation . The reverse features small yellow EURion 100s and has the fine lines removed from around the vignette of Independence Hall . These notes were issued as Series 2009A with Rios - Geithner signatures . Many of these changes are intended not only to thwart counterfeiting but to also make it easier to quickly check authenticity and help vision impaired people . </Li>
