US-FIFTY DOLLAR BILL-NEW DESIGN

This composite image obtained 30 June, 2004, courtesy of the US Department of the Treasury shows the front (Top) and reverse of the new 50 USD bill. President Ulysses S. Grant gets a multicolor makeover on the new $50 bill, which the Treasury Department introduced 28 September, 2004 in the nation's capital. On the new bill bearing the 18th president's image, Grant is freed from the oval frame to which he's been confined since 1913, appearing instead before a stylized red, white and blue American-flag backdrop. There's a small, metallic blue star near Grant's left shoulder, and on the reverse side the image of the US Capitol is flanked by clouds of small yellow "50"s. The more intricate design is intended to make counterfeiters' job more difficult, said Dawn Haley, a spokeswoman for the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
