Bob Bednar passed along this information about the Firefighters Everyday Heroes souvenir notes he exhibited at the 2004 FUN show. This grew out of an earlier discussion we had about banknote security features visible under UV light. Thanks! -Editor

For any of our FUN collectors here are some fun facts about that note.

• Paper - Banknote paper with a thread Visible on the FUN side.
• Paper is optically dead under UV light and has invisible green fibers.
• There are visible greenish-blue and red fibers.
• Thread - Micro printed - Banknotables Naples Bank Note - thread fluoresces red under UV light.

Printing was laser printed to feel like a banknote. FUN logo on the back along with well wishes to firefighters who helped in the 2004 wildfires. The portrait was done by former BEP engraver Richard Baratz, also known for his drawings in Sardi"s in NYC. The World Trade Towers drawing with a heart cutout was done by banknote designer Chris McCauley who designed the overall note.
