If a person came over to you and said that they have just created a way to produce counterfeit money and he tells you that he is willing to let you in on his secret for free, Would you want to know it ? Even more would you want to use it? You don’t have to answer my question, but we definitely could agree that there are people out there who would be willing to try and use the counterfeit money. The only real concern would be whether they’ll get caught. Now, if I told you that the probability of getting caught is the same as running faster than a cheetah, I think we would have a few more risk takers.

This problem is very current and growing rapidly all across the globe. The only way to prevent this is by spreading the use of counterfeit detectors as fast as the counterfeit money is being created. Two products that are used are the counterfeit pen and the UV detector. The main differences between real and fake money are the material and type of paper that is used to create them. The counterfeit detector has a special patented design that the pen reacts to a chemical in the real money and creates a light yellow line. When writing on the fake money a dark line will appear. Another difference between them is the Ultra Violet security features that the real money is made with. The UV detector will help you see the UV features in the real money.

Every day scam artists are coming into stores and asking for change of a hundred, and the workers behind the counters just take the fake money and hand them real change. The owners might as well put those bills in the paper or plastic isle because that’s all they are worth. Every business from big to small should start using the counterfeit products to prevent the use of counterfeit money, and put and end to fraud. It would be a small price to pay to prevent the loss of hundreds of dollars.

Now, if I told you again what I told you earlier, but I made a slight change; the probability of getting caught using counterfeit money is the same as out running a parked car, what would your response be ? If the spread of using counterfeit detection products were to continuously grow, this would be the result. The use of fake money would rapidly fall and eventually be almost none existent. The only situation in which I would recommend you not take my advice is if you have a shortage of paper or plastic.
