new $50 bill

The US government will be introducing a new $50 bill with the same security features as the new $20 bill that was released last year. It will be released to the public in 8 days, on September 28, 2004.

Here are large images of the front and back of the bill, and there’s also an interactive interface (Flash plug-in required) to point out the new security features.

I wonder if I could get a demo copy of one of these.
