What type of currency counterfeit detectors exist?


There are many different products on the market that help improve your counterfeit detection process. As coins are less valuable and easier to verify by hand, the most common type of money detectors are banknote checkers.

Banknote checkers come in various shapes and sizes. All with their own unique features and benefits. From compact portable devices, to versatile UV money detectors, and advanced automatic banknote checkers. There is always one that fits your business.

What is a currency counterfeit detector?


Currency counterfeit detectors (or cash counterfeit detectors) are devices designed to help validate the authenticity of banknotes. These devices - often used at point-of-sales counters - can help the user decide if the note that they received is real or fake. How they do so, depends on the type of device.

Manual money checkers, such as our UV detectors, work by illuminating banknotes with ultraviolet light. This special light makes it possible for the user to see and verify the invisible ultraviolet features hidden on banknotes (and other items).

Automatic money checkers take all the work away from its user. All you have to do is insert your banknote into the device. The internal mechanism then transports the banknote thought the device and past its counterfeit detection sensors. The device then displays a message, letting you know if the banknote was real or possibly fake.

What are the benefits of using a currency counterfeit detector?


There are many benefits to automating your counterfeit detection process. One of the most important reasons why people work with money checkers is the extra sense of security and confidence they provide. The best counterfeit detectors stop even the most sophisticated counterfeits and are proven to be 100% accurate. Always. There is no better product to protect your business and support your team.

Cash counterfeit detectors are also known to scare away counterfeiters and fraudsters. If they enter your store and see that you have a counterfeit detection tool installed and in-use, they often take their fakes elsewhere. Protecting your business against harm without even doing anything.

Another benefit to using cash counterfeit detectors is that they pay for themselves. Just by stopping three or four counterfeit banknotes, you have already earned back the investment you made by purchasing a money checker. A truly cost-effective solution.
