A banknote detector allows you to check suspicious banknotes directly at the checkout. It is a practical tool for retail stores, restaurants, and other businesses that accept cash payments. At Tingstad, you'll find both UV banknote detectors and counterfeit detection pens for simple banknote verification, as well as accessories for your equipment.
There are different ways to check whether a banknote is genuine. The most suitable method depends on factors such as how often you handle cash and how the verification needs to be carried out.
A UV banknote detector uses ultraviolet light to reveal certain security features on a banknote. This makes it easier to inspect notes received at the checkout.
Keep in mind that UV verification is only one part of the evaluation process and does not, on its own, guarantee that a banknote is genuine.
A counterfeit detection pen is a simpler option that can be used for a quick check of the banknote paper. It takes up little space and is easy to keep close at hand.
However, the pen only provides an indication and should not be used as the sole method for determining whether a banknote is genuine.
If your business handles cash regularly, it is a good idea to establish clear procedures for inspecting suspicious banknotes. Check several security features whenever possible and ensure that staff know how to use the equipment correctly.
