What time is it on the Independence Hall Clock on the back of the 100 dollar bills released before 2013?

The time on Independence Hall's bell tower clock on the $100 bill before 2013 reads 4:10, a fact confirmed by the Fed and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. (Yes, this is contrary to the fictitious “2:22,” which served as a plot point in the movie National Treasure.) The newer $100 bills released by the Treasury in 2013 show 10:30 on the clock.

Knowing BF’s history it should have been 4:20. Dude

Frank Sherwood, that's what I thought of for the answer

It was a key clue in National Treasure, the movie starring Nic Cage.

I only guessed and decided to use the movie title 4:10 to Yuma

It does say on bills from before 2013, so it is not dodgy at all.

Susan Pattison, the question clearly states before 2013. If 10:30 had been offered, it would still have been wrong. I think it might have been more confusing if you were looking at a newer bill.
