Details
- This product is not guaranteed to detect all counterfeit bills - it should be used in conjunction with other counterfeit detection methods (some options shown in Related Products below).
The counterfeit detector pen is extremely simple. It contains an iodine solution that reacts with the starch in wood-based paper to create a black stain. When the solution is applied to the fiber-based paper used in real bills, no discoloration occurs. The pen detects bills printed on normal copier paper instead of the fine papers used by the U.S. Treasury.
