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.

UV light:

Normal light:

-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):
