Begin by reviewing the Treasury Seal section. Ensure you can identify the seal that indicates the Bureau of the Fiscal Service. This is crucial for verifying authenticity.
Next, examine the Bleeding Ink feature. Test this by applying a small amount of moisture to see if the ink turns red, confirming its security measure.
Look for Microprinting in three designated areas on the check. Use a magnifying tool if necessary to ensure these tiny words are visible, as they cannot be replicated by copiers.
Check for the Watermark by holding the check up to light. The watermark should read 'U.S. TREASURY' and be visible from both sides.
Finally, inspect the Ultraviolet Overprinting Pattern under a black light to confirm its presence and integrity, ensuring no alterations have been made.
