My Fiance and I were counting our change to be put into our bank and we noticed a five dollar bill that had a big purple five on the back. My question is, is this a legit, authentic, 100% printed federal reserve money? I have looked it up and have found that the USA Five USA Five watermark that is not visible to the naked eye is supposed to be on the left hand side of the federal reserve seal ( the one on the right, correct?) but is not... rather the printing that is only visible through light is on the right hand side. Is this a legit bill? Can you tell me? My Fiance have figured out that the only place that could have come from was Mcdonald's on sunday, or my cousin / brother in law.h

Are you sure? The online source I looked at told me that the watermarks were supposed to be on the left side of the seal, but they were on the right

Definitely real. It is a newer version that came out not too long ago.
