The $5 bill just got a makeover!
The US Treasury gave Abe a little pick-me-up by adding some purple to the bill. To the naked eye, the most notable difference is color ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ splashes of light purple at the center of the bill that blend into gray near the edges. The new note also will feature an enlarged “5” printed in high-contrast purple ink in the lower right corner of the back of the bill.
The bill goes into circulation today.
Lincoln, the nation’s 16th president, is still on the front and the Lincoln Memorial remains on the back.
Don’t worry…you’ll still be able to use the non-purpleified $5 bills (as long as they aren’t counterfeit!).
