How Accubanker Infrared Detection Devices Work

When a bill is found to be counterfeit and the police get involved, whoever possessed it last loses their money. So even if you unknowingly accept a fake bill, the police will seize it and your only recourse will be insurance. For a business constantly receiving and dispensing cash, such as a restaurant, it's important to understand the ramifications of dealing with forged bills. The amount adds up quickly if you have even just a few incidents with forged money.

If you aren't familiar with AccuBanker, they carry a great line of money counting machines and counterfeit detecting devices.

The D200 Tower Counterfeit Detection System is Accubanker's new detector armed with yet another way of identifying counterfeit bills. Infrared devices are exciting technology for a company dealing with frequent cash flow. Government mints print each bill with a special marking that is visible when processed and presented on the D200's screen. In addition to this infrared check, it also detects through ultraviolet, magnetic ink, watermark, micro printing, and chemical pen.

Here's an example of what you'll see when viewing real notes on the D200:
