The hundred-dollar bill is a denomination of United States currency, featuring a portrait of Benjamin Franklin on the front. It is one of the highest-value bills in circulation and is often used for larger transactions. The bill is primarily green in color, which is why it is sometimes referred to as "greenbacks." The hundred-dollar bill is made of a blend of cotton and linen, giving it a distinct texture. It includes various security features, such as a security thread and a watermark, to prevent counterfeiting. This bill is widely recognized and accepted both domestically and internationally.
