How to identify counterfit currency

Information on counterfit currency - help to identify listed below.

PLEASE Carefully Note These Features:

COLOR-SHIFTING INK: If you hold the new series bill (except the $5 note) and tilt it back and forth, please observe the numeral in the lower right hand corner as its color shifts from green to black and back.
WATERMARK: Hold the bill up to a light to view the watermark in an unprinted space to the right of the portrait. The watermark can be seen from both sides of the bill since it is not printed on the bill but is imbedded in the paper.
SECURITY THREAD: Hold the bill up to a light to view the security thread. You will see a thin imbedded strip running from top to bottom on the face of a banknote. In the $10 and $50 the security strip is located to the right of the portrait, and in the $5, $20, and $100, it is located just to the left of the portrait.
ULTRAVIOLET GLOW: If the bill is held up to an ultraviolet light, the $5 bill glows blue; the $10 bill glows orange, the $20 bill glows green, the $50 bill glows yellow, and the $100 bill glows red - IF THEY ARE AUTHENTIC!
MICROPRINTING: There is minute microprinting on the security threads: the $5 bill has "USA FIVE" written on the thread, the $10 bill has "USA TEN" written on the thread; the $20 bill has "USA TWENTY" written on the security thread; the $50 bill has "USA 50" written on the thread; and the $100 bill has the words "USA 100" written on the security thread. Microprinting can be found around the portrait as well as on the security threads.
FINE LINE PRINTING PATTERNS: Very fine lines have been added behind the portrait and on the reverse side scene to make it harder to reproduce.
COMPARISON: Compare the feel and texture of the paper with other bills which you know are authentic.

I hope you have all noticed the lovely window decorations at Nectar, Suite A114. They have installed a lovely Autumn garland around the doorway and window that is just spectacular.

Tony Curtis visits Sedona

Sedona was buzzing with excitement this week when we received a visit from the famous actor Tony Curtis. The events in town started with the kick off at Harkins Theatre showing two of Tony's most successful films. The place was packed with enthusiastic folks.

The first movie was "Some Like it Hot" with Jack Lemmon. The comedy was enjoyed by one and all. Following this movie, the next film shown was "The Sweet Smell of Success".

Tony was joined by Ron Osborne from Turner Classic Movies and he spoke about the making of the movie, Some Like it Hot and gave us a hint on what it was like making a movie with Marilyn Monroe. It was really exciting and a great event for Sedona. A special "Thanks" to the Sedona Film Festival for making this event happen.

News from Teri Hood

I am not using Caring Bridge website anymore, cannot update it. I will be sending group emails again. Please feel free to forward to our mutual friends.

Just wanted to let you know the latest, I am still needing so much rest. I am sorry if I don't call back or return emails right away. Please try not to stop by without an appointment 928-254-8022. This is very important to me, it is a very delicate healing time. I need you but only on my time (please still call, I have the ringer off -you will not wake me). If you are still wanting to come stay at my mystical homestead for a visit, call me directly.

Still don't know when the surgery is. It will be in Phoenix with a new surgeon. I will let you know. Just trying to get thru chemo in one piece, it is the hardest thing I have ever done. There is a trial drug for cancer recovery that I might sign up for depending on my oncologists approval.

Hope, courage, faith are the wings that I am being carried on. I plan on proving a terminal diagnosis wrong. I have so much more to give to this world (and I have such great style) and still need to find a second husband, I am not ready to give up! So, when you think of me, pray and think of me as whole healthy and living a life of service of God's Will to a juiciest fullness!!!! Yes, still not giving up on Australia, I know I will make it to my beach. I don't have alot of strength now, so I am counting on your love to pull me through.

The Tlaquepaque BBQ fundraiser is canceled. The Estate Sale is on and still need new and used donations. Bring anything over before the 15th of October. You don't need an appointment for this, you can drop off at garage door or front door. #75 Pine Dr. Sedona, Az 86336. I also need to schedule help for the sale, the last 2 weekends in October.
