Milk Money
- Pour yourself a tall glass of milk and break out the black light. Milk glows brightly, with a sickly yellow tinge… looking a bit like eggnog. Modern US paper currency has dye in the security strips that glows (excluding $1 & $2 bills). 5 dollar bills seem to “bleed” their UV dye moreso than the rest.
