Have you seen the new five dollar bills yet?

Let me tell you, they look wild. I suspect that counterfieters will find them impossible to duplicate to the point that they could fool most cashiers.

Today's FamilyFirst pick is presented by portfolio.com. The five dollar bill loads in a Flash widow and provides you with an interactive tour of the new features.

But wait! There's more!

You can also take a tour back in time to what the five dollar bill has looked like since its inception in 1861. The bill has featured Lincoln since anyone can remember, but it has also portrayed Ulysses Grant, Alexandar Hamilton, Andrew Jackson, and Civil War general Philip Sheridan!
