The first new redesigned $5 bill will be spent in the gift shop of President Lincoln’s Cottage at the Soldiers’ Home in Washington, D.C. on March 13.
The announcement was made today by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP).
Back in September of 2007, the BEP for the first time ever digitally unveiled the new bill redesign that promises to be “safer, smarter and more secure”.
A week ago from today, August 15, the United States Mint held a release ceremony for the new Thomas Jefferson Presidential $1 Coins. A video of the event sure would have been nice!
But wouldn’t it be great if you could at least see photos from the ceremony? Well, now you can and right here! Fortunately, someone in the news media was taking photos and looking out for those of us who couldn’t attend.
If you’ve never been to a U.S. Mint event before, these photos give you an idea of some of the ceremony trappings and details. By far, the absolute best photos are those showing the kids having a great time. Of course, all the kids received a free, sparkling Jefferson Presidential $1 coin. You can bet that helped bring smiles to their faces.
