"Blue strips" is a slang term that most commonly refers to the blue security ribbon found on U.S. $100 bills. This blue 3-D security strip features moving images of "100"s and Liberty Bells and is a distinctive feature of the hundred-dollar note, symbolizing money and wealth
. In popular culture, such as in Jessie Murph's song "Blue Strips," the term is used metaphorically to represent financial success and power. The song explores themes of revenge and empowerment after a breakup, with "blue strips" symbolizing the flaunting of wealth-specifically throwing $100 bills in a strip club as a form of retribution and confidence
. Thus, "blue strips" primarily denotes hundred-dollar bills, and by extension, money and financial status.
