Approximately $70 million in counterfeit bills are circulating in the US, impacting businesses, are you also one of them? These bills are a little off in terms of their colors, texture, or paper quality and need a critical eye to differentiate from the original ones. While running a business and checking the fidelity of thousands of bills coming each day is quite a daunting task, POS Paper brings to you counterfeit bill detector pens that can resolve the issue effortlessly. These are made with advanced technology that can tell if a bill is real or fake by changing color or leaving a mark.

Of course, no tool is foolproof, and counterfeiters are constantly finding new ways to create fake bills that can fool even the most advanced detection methods. But our counterfeit money detector pen is the low hanging fruit identifying potential fraud and protecting your business from losses. 

Here is the list of our most reliable counterfeit bill detector pens:

• Smart Money Counterfeit Dual Detector (Pen and UV Light)
• Smart Money Counterfeit Bill Detector Pen for use with U.S. Currency (with a capacity of 1-12)
• Smart Money Counterfeit Detector Pen with Reusable UV LED Light

So if you are in the business (like banks, or retail stores) of handling cash, it's worth investing in one of these pens to add another level of security. 

What exactly is a counterfeit bill detector pen?

Like the Flair felt tip pens, the counterfeit bill detector pen has a marker-type construction with a plastic tube all around the body. The polyester reservoir inside the tube is infused with a solution of solvent and iodine. The nip of the pen soaks the solution and distributes it evenly, generating the finest results. Note that the poor-quality outer body of the pen can dry out the marker or generate inaccurate results. Our Smart Money Counterfeit Bill Detector Pen made with precise fitting plastic components, prevents air leaks and increases the product's durability.

How does a counterfeit bill detector pen work?

Simply put, a bill or paper currency is passed through a chemical test to assess its genuineness. Since all types of paper are made with refined wood pulp combined with mineral pigments and starch, starch is considered a key testing component. When the tip of a counterfeit money detector pen infused with iodine makes a mark on the paper, iodine reacts with starch to turn dark brown or black. 

Note that US currency is not printed on a regular starch-containing base. In the absence of starch on the currency, iodine on our Smart counterfeit money detector pen tip will not react, and the mark must remain pale yellow. If anything otherwise happens, you can be sure that the bill is not legitimate.   

What's the most important security feature in counterfeit money?

The US currency has an embedded security thread which is a thin strip running vertically through the bill and is visible when held up to the light. This security thread is difficult to replicate and contains micro printing of the denomination, which can only be seen with magnification. 

On the other hand, the replicas of these security threads are planted in counterfeited bills but do not possess the magnification properties of the original ones. However, the original US currency thread glows a specific color under the UV light of our Smart Money Counterfeit Detector Pen with Reusable UV LED Light, making it easy to verify its authenticity. The security thread is present in all denominations of US currency, and its presence is a critical factor in determining whether a bill is real or counterfeit.
