Is this fake - or does it really glow?

If only there were some way to test this.

Just click the link. Get the little no picture monkey. And reload/hit enter again for the pictures to load up.

I think it's fake. But I'm at a PC Bang under black lights so everything lights up anyway.

That is pretty cool. And if it's true, that is pure genius! Not only would glow in the dark money make counterfeiting more difficult, but what a time saver when looking for a certain bill in low light!

Another interesting thing about Korean money is that the different denominations of bills are different lengths. I noticed that pretty quickly after arriving, and when I mentioned it to my Korean friend she was totally shocked. She had never noticed that before!

He's right. After you click on the link and get the error message (I think it's a lemur, actually), just click in the address bar and hit enter.

For my browser just hitting reload didn't work. I had to hit enter from the address bar.

apparently they're coated with a glow-in-the-dark tape.

That would really cool, but my Korean money is not glowing in the dark. Myth debunked.

They don't glow in the dark, but the do glow under black light. I first noticed that ages ago at Rainbow Room in Gangnam. It is quite cool.

american money has some sort of thing just like this. when i used to work retail, we would always put the bills under a black light to check for counterfeits. the new 100s look especially cool.

flip through your passport under a black light. many of the visas you have have UV activated features.
