The Fifty-Spot



On this day in nineteen ninety-seven

New notes were introduced embedded

With better watermarks and metal lines

By The Treasury Department's minds



An effort to cut down on the counterfeit trend

Which grew after copiers were made to blend

And now the line's been extended to hundreds and twenties 

Meaning counterfeiting will soon be entirely circumvented
