My Passport Is Psychedelic

Canadian polymer currency is kind of flamboyant and brightly coloured but who knew that Canadian passports have interesting imagery inside that is only visible under ultraviolet light?

  3. Neat! Newer Canada Post stamps have hidden fluorescent graphics to prevent forgery as well.
