FEATURES

Ultraviolet Counterfeit Detection

Ultraviolet light can detect if paper currency and other official documents (including credit cards, driver's licenses, travelers checks, passports, and green cards) are authentic or counterfeit. The ultraviolet light allows you to see fluorescent strips, dots, or other markings used on authentic bills and documents. The special fibrous paper that currency is made from is not fluorescent, where as a counterfeit bill printed on bleached or white paper will reflect ultraviolet light, causing the bill to glow.

Magnetic Ink Counterfeit Detection

Magnetic detection is used to determine if there is magnetic ink present on a bill or document. This is found by rubbing the bill or document over the magnetic head on the machine. If there is magnetic ink present the unit will beep and the red magnetic indicator will light up. If the unit does not beep and the indicator does not light up, the bill or document may not be authentic.

Watermark Counterfeit Detection

The watermark verification window is used to verify that a watermark is present in a bill or document. If the watermark is missing or hard to see, the bill or document may not be authentic.

Micro-printing Counterfeit Detection

The micro-printing magnifier is used to clearly see the micro-printed words on a bill or document. If the micro-printing is missing, the bill or document may not be authentic.

Compact, Portable Design

This unit is lightweight and compact, easily moved from place to place.

To use Magnetic ink counterfeit detection:

1. After turning the unit on, the magnetic head is automatically turned on.
2. Rub the area of the bill or document that is supposed to have magnetic ink on the magnetic head.
