Hi Adam,

The attraction is not very noticable. The dollar bill does need to 
be reasonably stiff and balanced across your index finger, like
a see-saw board. Sometimes, folding it in half lengthwise can
help to make it stay stiffened out if the bill is a bit more worn.
When you bring a strong magnet under one side of the dollar 
bill, it will slightly "dip" toward the magnet's pole surface. It is 
not noticable unless you allow the magnetic attraction under 
one side of the bill to "pull" it out of balance and the attrac-
tion will not be not nearly strong enough to lift up the bill at all.
Make sure that you do it indoors completely away from any no-
ticable air movement, as this will have a much stronger influence 
on the very light note than the magnetic field. I just tried it with 
a 2004 seiries $10 note and it does still work ;^)
