    Most banknotes glow under Ultra Violet light as a security feature, including the US Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, Indian Rupee, Philippine Peso, Pound Sterling, Euro, Brazilian Real, Malaysian Ringgit and more. But some are slightly boring, so in this video I print my own invisible ink over the top to create magical secret hidden designs.
