CANADIAN PASSPORT FEATURES ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT IMAGES

Larry Dziubek forwarded this article about the new Canadian Passport featuring a nice ultraviolet light anti-counterfeiting feature. Cool. Thanks! -Editor

Canada’s new passport comes loaded with hidden artwork since the past year and a half, but the truth only came to light (pun intended) when this Imgur user posted pictures of his friend’s new passport two days back. Apparently, the pages consist of beautiful national icons and images created with optically variable ink that glows when placed under a black light (a.k.a. ultraviolet light). Check them out below.

Some U.S. banknotes have a strip that glows under UV light. Are there any banknotes where the whole design is UV-active like this Passport? -Editor
