Treasury officials and others will participate in a ceremonial "first spend" of a colorized Series 2006 $5 Federal Reserve Note on the day that the new note first enters circulation, March 13.

According to information from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the spending of a new $5 will take place at President Lincoln's Cottageat the Soldier's Home in Washington, D.C.

Just who will participate is not currently known, but I would expect representatives of the Federal Reserve, Treasury and Homeland Security in the form of the Secret Service.

Are you looking forward to the new $5?
