How Does a Banknote Tester Work?

Banknote testers analyse security features embedded in genuine banknotes. UV detection reveals fluorescent marks invisible to the naked eye, magnetic detection checks for magnetic ink used in printing, and infrared sensors verify IR-reflective elements. Modern portable banknote testers are battery-powered and compact, allowing quick verification anywhere without a power outlet. Advanced models combine multiple detection methods for maximum reliability, making them a practical and affordable solution for everyday cash handling and counterfeit prevention.
