Ahh, the ultimate in stealthy bills. Use invisible ink of course.

Actually, its UV ink. It shows up under "black" light and man does it glow. Most chain convenience stores (Mac's, 7-11…) use them, plus some bars on the dance floor or if you go "glow" bowling.

I had a regular self inking stamp made, then instead of putting regular stamp ink into it I used the UV ink. $5.00 for a 2 oz. bottle at Rose's. They weren't sure if it would eat the pad or not. I've had it since just after the last gathering and no problems yet. The only thing I found was that the ink has a very high alcohol concentration and dry's out fast (over the weekend) so, the pad comes with a cover and I just pop it out and cover it whenever its not in use. Only had to fill it once since I dried it out.

The other toy I got was a hand held UV light ($20 at Staples, right next to the $50 plug in one's the convenience stores use) Cuz you can't tell if you've stamped unless you shine the light. Ya, that's why I needed it ;-)

ps. Cats don't glow, but sock lint sure does

let me get this straight. u stamp it in invisable ink AND normal ink? or just invisable ink so no one will see the stamp unless they have a light…

i was at the dollar store the other day and they have little pens that look like lasers that use uv

I do my regular stamp or laser print, then uv stamp.

Some banks and/or bosses have put up a fuss about marked money, so for some people this may be a way to mark the money, and maybe it will be seen somewhere…
