Ever Wonder If Some Of The Paper Money You Have Is Real?

Well, you can check it out with the Portable Counterfeit Bill Detector. It features dual UV lights for clear identification of counterfeit bills by highlighting security threads and anti-counterfeit markers. It also has a built in lighted 8X magnifier to spot fine details and security markings. The company says that their high-intensity back-light can instantly reveal the “hidden” watermark pattern inside the a bank note. I bought mine on Amazon and it was under $28.00 as of 9/11/25.

 

After I bought that Portable Detector, I thought I’d like something smaller and easier to use. So the second counterfeit bill gadget I bought was the the Dri Mark Dual Test Counterfeit Money Detector Pen, with UV Light. As you’ll see on the show, it’s really simple to use. Just mark a bill with a small check mark, X, etc. If the bill is real, the mark will be yellow. If it’s black, it’s counterfeit. Then there’s the powerful UV light embedded in the cap you can use to reveal the hidden security stripe found in all 5 dollar bills and higher. That’s found in bills up to $100 and those secret strips started appearing in money minted beginning in the mid 1990’s. The kit includes 3 marking pens, and one interchangeable pen cap that has the built-in UV light. The kit was $14.99 on Amazon on 9/12/25.
