"Thanks to the changes we've made in currency design, thanks to aggressive law enforcement led by the U.S. Secret Service and thanks to an informed public, we've been able to stay ahead of the counterfeiters," Treasury Secretary John Snow said during the unveiling ceremony on Ellis Island in New York harbor. The location was selected to highlight one of the new features of the bill - a red image of the Statue of Liberty's torch on the left side of the portrait of Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the Treasury.

Over the 4th of July I offered to give away a ten dollar bill to any of my relatives who could tell me what government position Alexander Hamilton held. Needless to see I kept the bill.

Don't worry about counterfeiting, the government will soon require an embedded RFID in either your right hand or forehead.
