New $100 bill is super secure

The United States Bureau of Engraving and Printing is going all out in their effort to make the new $100 bill the most secure in history. Counterfeiters beware! This bill is so secure you won’t have a chance to produce anything that even remotely resembles it. For example, the ink colors simply can’t be produced by any known means (except to the Bureau). The paper is not really paper—it’s a mysterious plasma that only looks like paper. When you handle the bill, you are actually being connected to a parallel universe in which paper-like substances exist in the minds of ectoplasmic oddities. The image of Benjamin Franklin is actually Benjamin Franklin himself! Ask a question and he will answer in a language unknown on Earth, but in which Ben has become fluent. The bill is so expensive to produce there will be a 10% premium on owning one. You will have to spend $110 for each one, making counterfeiting really unprofitable, unless you’re starting with no money at all, in which case you can’t even start thinking about such an impossible project unless you’re in a loony bin without doors or windows. Or Wi-Fi.

I think the government has a winner here.
