The Bureau of Engraving and Printing also offers 16 subject acrylic frames to hold and hang uncut currency sheets. The frame enables viewing of both sides of the notes.

The $5 Note was redesigned in 2007 and entered circulation on March 13, 2008. The updated look incorporated many new security features to deter counterfeiters. Some of the features included the light purple color in the the center of the bill, two watermarks, the enlarged numeral 5, and additional symbols of freedom.
