The "Pence" designation on this note refers to Mike Pence, whose signature as Vice President appears alongside that of Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin — the standard pairing for Federal Reserve Notes issued during that administration. U.S. currency switched to polymer for this denomination as part of ongoing counterfeiting resistance trials, though the Federal Reserve has moved cautiously compared to the wholesale polymer adoptions seen in Australia or Canada.
The holographic strip on this series is embedded rather than surface-applied, a distinction that matters for long-term wear resistance in high-velocity circulation.
