FYI - You are describing older $5 bills.... newer bills:

Strip is to the right of Lincoln, not the left side Fed seal. That strip uses the number 5, instead of spelling out f-i-v-e.

When held up to a light, the likeness of Lincoln does not appear on right, instead it is the number 5.

Also when held up to a light, there are now 3 number 5's stacked on top of each other just right of the Fed seal on the left

I am not a currency expert... by sheer luck, I happened to have an older 5 and a newer 5 in my wallet.

Another difference...the real $100 are worth five dollars and thirteen cents. In 1913 they were worth $100.00.

Yea, the Federal Government has been printing them by the second in Washington, D.C.!

Don't try to pay your Hwy 36 speeding ticket with this funny money citizen.

Meanwhile, what about those house burglaries that were such a secret?

FYI- For further information on identifying counterfeit bills you can visit the website catchfrauds dot com. Their Catch Frauds counterfeit detection systems are very inexpensive and catch the counterfeiters 99% of the time. Small businesses are often the target of crooks that pass bad bills as their employees are the most trusting of customers.
