Amazing Macro of Hundred Dollar Bill



    For instance, the hundred dollar bill, a common thing I bet anyone has held in his hands for some occasion, but didn't probably had a chance to get a magnifying glass or a cool photo camera with power zoom to inspect every detail of it like a detective.

    First of all, there is micro-text hidden in the bottom left corner of the bill inside the "100" number. You probably can't see it with naked eye but digital zoom does this magic for us.

    Now this one you've probably see before - the small colorful fibres scattered across all the bill. They are pretty well seen with a normal eye on the white areas of the bill, but when magnified like this you can see that those are really pieces of colorful fiber threads.

    Also, did you know why the dollars are green? There is a rumour that before they were black with only a green frame. This was in mid nineteen century, when the photography started getting its rise so some people started making... photocopies of the dollar bills. And because all the photography at that times was black and white (or dark brown and white) the green touch could help to fight those genius.

    Then there is another piece of hidden text right on the jacket of Mr. Franklin. Can you see it on the photo above? If not, the next shot is more revealing:
