Money Shots - $10 bill

This is where things get interesting, and by interesting, I mean sparkly. As part of its effort to reduce counterfeits, the Bureau of Engraving & Printing introduced metallic ink on bills of $5  or higher.
This is part of the Treasury Seal.

This is the 10 on the lower right face of the bill showing the metallic ink. It changes color from green to gold to red depending on how the light hits it.

Back of the bill, some detail about the statue.

The peach shading on the back of the $10.

The red liberty torch on the front.

More detail of the US Treasury building.
