The design and engineering characteristics are nothing short of amazing on the next generation $100 bill. As the following article from July 2010 will illustrate, newer and more revolutionary printing will accompany more and more flaws in the printing processes. Therefore, all those road blocks have since postponed the release of the new bill. What collectors and strap searchers will find in these new bills will be nothing short of plentiful. Offset printing, mismatched serials, ink bleeds, and a wide variety of errors are just a scratch of the surface. Here's the c/net article that first broke ground on the printing process at the BEP:

It could be another 12-18 months before we see the new bills in circulation, but it will be a fascinating release as the new design will forever initiate a new structure for future Federal Reserve Notes to come. The old "green back" will soon be just an afterthought...and ultimately a more collectible piece for those that want to revisit the olden days.
