Check banknotes instantly anywhere. In just two seconds, the Safescan 30 counterfeit detection pen tells you whether a banknote is fake or genuine. Simply mark the bill and watch: if the ink turns dark, the bill is likely counterfeit. Perfect whenever you need a quick, portable check, such as at markets and events or in taxis and delivery vans.

The special ink works with all currencies. The iodine-based ink in the Safescan 30 reacts with a starch found in all standard papers but not in the official cotton or polymer banknote paper used by central banks worldwide. Additionally, it helps remove counterfeit money from circulation: the bright ink fades on genuine banknotes but leaves a permanent purple mark on suspicious fakes.
