New United States Currency-Series Black

This idea was inspried by two things; seing a black gift card with the "$150" on it and also the Australian Currency. I find the currency to be unique in it's own way. this is my vision of a New American currency that follow the trends of the rest of the world currency, like Australia. Australia's currency with some other countries is the hardest to counterfit due to the materials it's made of and the transparent seal in each note. The American currency is the number one currency that is widely used all over the world and is the most counterfit. The purpose of the design was to make it look appealing rather than have the standard "green" notes and to ensure "conceptual" security within the note. This includes customized Guiloche graphs as well as spiral graphs, various typography fonts, depth of layers with multiple blend mondes and gradients to ensure it can't be "conceptually" be counterfit. Finallty, to make it look pretty damn awesome.
 
The Breakdown of the Bill
There are only 2 "100s" on both sides. My thinking was to have you always see the currency number that way either way you hand the bill it says "100". I changed the sizes to esure it couldn't be dupliated and for it to look visually different than the current note. I took all the aspects from the current newly designed bill and applied to this one with some personal touches. I had Franklin placed to the left of the note to ensure room on the rest for other pieces of the designs. I stuck with gold colors to associtate wealth with the higher number. I added two bands down the center as a "security" detail and to make it look much different from the current bill. I maintained the classic fonts of "The United States of America" with keeping the quote of "this is a Legal Tender..." semetrical with the United States text. I tied in the Liberty bell as it's in Phelidephia and since bejamin Franklin is well known from there it blended well together. I kept the design simple, but visually challenging and unique to the human eye.
