The $ 100 bill is the largest denomination of the U.S. dollar currently in circulation since the $ 500, $ 1,000, $ 5,000, and $ 10,000 bills were withdrawn on July 13, 1969 .

background
In colloquial language, the banknotes are often referred to as "Benjamin" (alluding to the portrait of Benjamin Franklin shown on the front) and also as "C-Notes" (because of the Roman number for 100). The $ 100 note, along with the $ 10 note showing Alexander Hamilton , is the second of the denominations currently in circulation that do not show the President of the United States of America . It also shows Independence Hall , the only building that is not in Washington, DC . The clock at Independence Hall reads approximately 4:10 a.m. according to the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing , while older sheet music and the 2013 series 2009A show 10:30 a.m.
One hundred $ 100 bills ($ 10,000) at a time are supplied by the Federal Reserve Bank with a mustard-colored ribbon ( bill sleeve ).
The Series 2009 $ 100 bill design was unveiled on April 21, 2010 and unveiled to the public on October 8, 2013. The new banknote costs 12.6 cents to produce and has a blue ribbon ( security thread ) woven vertically in the middle of the bill that alternately shows “100” and the “ Liberty Bell ” when the bill is tilted.
According to former Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Ben Bernanke , more than two-thirds of all $ 100 bills are overseas.
