Just noticed how unusual it is that the watermark on the $5 was changed to a 5 but the $100 is kept as a portrait. I wish things were a little more uniform.

they did that because people were bleaching $5 bills and printing hundreds on them. To someone not looking closely or with poor vision, abe & ben can look pretty similar, however a 5 is harder to mistake for ben franklin's face.
