Series 2017A $100 Federal Reserve Note

This is a United States one hundred dollar bill, specifically a Series 2017A Federal Reserve Note. The note features a large portrait of Benjamin Franklin on the obverse, a hallmark of the 'big head' design introduced for enhanced security. It is constructed from a durable blend of 75% cotton and 25% linen fibers, containing security features like the blue 3D Security Ribbon woven into the paper and the color-shifting Bell in the Inkwell. The serial number 'PH73942675A' indicates it was issued through the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (identified by the prefix 'H' and the 'H8' seal). The note bears the signatures of Steven T. Mnuchin, Secretary of the Treasury, and Jovita Carranza, Treasurer of the United States. In terms of condition, the note appears to be in circulated but 'Extremely Fine' condition; it shows some slight mechanical waving and minor corner wear but lacks heavy vertical or horizontal creases. The printing remains crisp with high-contrast intaglio ink, and the orange/copper color-shifting elements retain their luster. There are no visible markings, stamps, or significant tears present on the surface.
