The folks who print America’s money have designed a high-tech makeover of the $100 bill. It’s part of an effort to stay ahead of counterfeiters as technology becomes more sophisticated and more dollars flow overseas, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke says.

Move the bill, and the objects move in a different direction. The new currency will not go into circulation until Feb. 10 of next year.
