• Counterfeit detectors are the easiest and fairly inexpensive way of preventing your business from losing money by receiving forged bills that end up in your cash register. No matter if you own a small one person company or a large shopping outlet with dozens of employees – the chances that someone will try to hand you fake money is very high and the most reliable method of verifying the authenticity of notes is using counterfeit detectors.

• Although Euro notes contain multiple security features which can be checked without the use of counterfeit detectors it might be very time consuming or sometimes even impossible to decide on whether the money that we received is genuine. In most business where cash transactions are carried out numerous times every day, counterfeit detectors are simply essential equipment, just like a cash register.

You can choose between 2 types of counterfeit detectors, based mainly on your business model.

• For brick and mortar business where sales assistants or cashiers are handed the money you should install a desktop counterfeit detector. Most of basic counterfeit detectors use a UV light under which you place a banknote. When exposed to UV light certain elements appear in different colour or you can see some details that aren’t visible in normal light conditions. Such counterfeit detectors can also be used to check credit cards, ID cards or passports as they all include UV light sensitive markings.

• More advanced counterfeit detectors come with additional verifying features such as white light that allows checking watermarks or microprint imprinted on genuine banknotes. The most advanced counterfeit detectors are almost completely automated – all you need to do is insert the note into the counterfeit detector and it does the job for you. Such counterfeit detectors check magnetic and metal features in a note, watermarks, infrared elements but also more advanced characteristics such as size and thickness of a note.

• For users whose business involves receiving cash on the go (taxi drivers, plumbers, electricians, etc.) we recommend use of portable counterfeit detectors. The most basic form of portable counterfeit detectors is a false notes detector pen. Such pens use iodine based ink which is absorbed by genuine notes and quickly disappears after you have written on it. If the marking or writing you have made remains on the note it is more than likely that you are dealing with forged money. You can also find portable counterfeit detectors that use UV light and also checks magnetic characteristics and security thread similarly to more advanced desktop counterfeit detectors.
