Another outstanding set of UV-sensitive notes from my latest ebay world money batch. Kyrgyzstan 1997 5 and 10 Som (P13 & P14). The security fibers fluoresce blue and yellow, the S/N orange, the denomination in the center of the note yellow, and and invisible denomination in a rectangle appears lower left. These are really cool notes.

I tried to take UV pictures recently. It's not as easy as I had thought. (I think I need a stronger UV light source).
Here is one of my first attempts. It's a Peruvian 100 Soles note.

-I've heard this sentiment before & I believe there's a knack to photographing the florescent effect too.

Here's a link from Numista which discusses some of the different UV light sources available (important to avoid cheap LED UV lights):
