U.S. Treasury Check Security Features
U.S. Treasury Check
Security Features
Modifications have been made to the U.S. Treasury check.
Date and Amount
Some checks will not have the white boxes around the
date and amount fields. However, there will be checks
in circulation that still have this feature.
Bleeding Ink
On All checks, the U.S. Treasury
seal, located to the right of the
Statue of Liberty contains security
ink that turns reddish when
moisture is applied to the black
ink.
Signature Block
Microprinting
Most U.S. Treasury checks contain a Secure Seal,
which has encoded information in a basket weave
pattern with a signature in the center. This seal is
not on all checks. Therefore, do not assume a check
without this seal is counterfeit.
Microprinted words are printed so small that
they appear as a line to the naked eye. However,
when magnified, they become visible. Microprinting cannot be duplicated by a copier and
when a check is counterfeited, they will often
show up as a solid line or a series of dots.
Watermark
All U.S. Treasury checks are printed on watermarked paper.
When held up to the light, the watermark reads ¡°U.S. Treasury¡±
from both the front and the back. Any check should be suspected
as counterfeit if the check has no watermark, or the watermark is
visible without holding the check up to light.
On All checks, the endorsement line
on the back of the check contains
microprinting that says ¡°USAUSAUSA¡±.
You may verify check issue information at the Treasury Check Verification System (TCVS) at
Ultraviolet Overprinting
When a blacklight is passed over All U.S. Treasury checks,
the ultraviolet (UV) printing becomes visible, and will glow.
There are four lines of ¡°FMS¡± bracketed by the FMS seal on
the left, and the United States seal on the right. If the check is
altered, the UV printing may be disturbed.
UV printing cannot be photocopied.
