Stop counterfeit money in its tracks with the AVANSA Counterfeit Detector Pen. This powerful, portable tool provides a simple and effective way to instantly verify the authenticity of banknotes. Unlike single-function pens, this model features a built-in UV light. This gives you two layers of protection against fake notes. The UV light reveals hidden security features that are present on all modern banknotes. The pen itself uses a special chemical that reacts to the wood pulp in standard paper, instantly turning black on counterfeit notes. This 3-pack is a cost-effective solution for any business with multiple till points, from small retail shops to petrol stations and restaurants. Protect your staff, your business, and your profits from the risk of fraud with the AVANSA Counterfeit Pen.

Who This Is For

  • Retailers: To quickly and discreetly check banknotes at the till point.
  • Restaurants & Bars: Ideal for fast-paced environments where speed is essential.
  • Small Businesses: An affordable alternative to expensive counterfeit detection machines.
  • Anyone Who Handles Cash: A simple tool for anyone concerned about receiving fake money.

AVANSA Counterfeit Pen: Engineered for Reliable Detection

The AVANSA Counterfeit Detector Pen is engineered to provide a fast and reliable defence against fake money. The pen’s special ink is formulated to react with the unique properties of real banknotes, which are made from a blend of cotton and linen fibres. When the pen is applied to a genuine note, the mark remains a transparent yellow. If applied to a counterfeit note (which is typically made from wood-pulp paper), the mark instantly turns dark brown or black. The integrated UV light is an essential secondary check. Simply press the button and shine the light on the note to reveal hidden security features such as fluorescent fibres, security threads, and watermarks. This dual-detection method provides an extra layer of confidence for your staff and customers. It’s an essential tool that gives you peace of mind that every transaction is genuine.
