SECURITY CHECK

Description

Security Check is the most economical and effective safeguard available to verify the authenticity of
US Currency            Postal Money Orders                Traveler’s Checks
Credit Cards            Driver Licenses                          ID’s
Official Documents & Passports

Ultraviolet and white fluorescent lamps aid in the verification of features that are difficult or impossible to detect with the naked eye.

Authentication Procedures*

US Banknotes

Check the paper: Under the UV light, bleached bills and non-U.S. currency paper will glow brightly. The currency pens will only pick up on most of the non-U.S currency paper but will not detect bleached bills.
Check the security thread: Under the UV lamp, the thread should glow according to the colors shown in figure A. Only visual inspection under the correct UV wavelength will show these features.
Check for watermark: Turn the white fluorescent lamp on and check for the presence of a water mark. On most counterfeit bills there are no watermarks, or it is actually printed on the face of the bill and visible without backlight.

Postal Money Orders, ID’s Credit Cards & Traveler’s Checks

Simply turn on the UV lamp to observe the UV-reactive imprints on most state driver’s licenses, ID cards and all major credit cards and travelers checks. All valid postal money orders will show the Red security thread and the bright serial number on back.
