There wasn't much more at the link 'cept, the marker used to detect counterfeit showed the real bill was not real.
Which raises the question, what's in a modern bill that wasn't in the older bills?

Which raises the question, what's in a modern bill that wasn't in the older bills?Another good question, is what is in an older bill that is not in a newer bill? The older is probably a silver certificate, and backed by an implied reserve of the precious metal, while the newer is fiat currency, "it shall be worth $50", and has no backing.
Also, from a collectors standpoint, the old $50 is probably worth a good bit more than $50.
