Depleted Uranium.....

If you've torn one from a $20, you've just activated the homing beacon, run! (It's like the tag on mattresses)

Actually......

The Treasury Department has been updating America's paper currency. One of the security features is a special strip embedded in the paper. It is invisible in ordinary light but fluoresces under long wave black light. The strips fluoresce different colors in each denomination. There is a red strip in a $100 bill, yellow/orange strip in $5, green strip in $20.


*But keep on guessing, this is fun!

I hate to be the conspiracy theorist here, but I beleive that they are strips of the materials found in the alien spce craft from the Roswell crash back in the 40's. Hell, how else do you explain the way they micro-weaved it into the bills.

In fact, many of the luxuries we experience today; microwaves, cell phones, palm pilots, and little Dutch clones come from alien technology.....

I don't know what they're made of, but I'm pretty sure that Al Gore invented them.

That would make sense. He's an alien, you know?

Hey, good point! So our two theories work well together.
