Monetary Makeover
Colorful Abe
Abe Lincoln has gotten a facelift, including a little color in his cheeks. The new $5 bill, which began circulating on March 13, 2008, bears the traditional image of the 16th president, but with some touches of color added to foil counterfeiters. The makeover is similar to changes to the 10s, 20s and 50s already in use. Up next is a new look for the $100 bill.
