Which security feature is located on the left side of Franklin on the $100 bill?

• A. Watermark
• B. Color shifting ink
• C. Security Thread
• D. Microprinting

Answer: (C)

The left side of Benjamin Franklin’s portrait on the front of the $100 bill features a vertical security thread. This embedded strip runs from top to bottom and can be seen when you hold the bill up to light; on many newer notes it’s marked with indicators like USA and the denomination and glows under UV light. This placement and the thread itself are designed specifically to help verify authenticity quickly. Other features, such as the watermark (which sits on the right side), color-shifting ink (on the numeral), and microprinting (in small text around the portrait), appear in different areas, not on the left side near the portrait.
