Many cashiers come to rely on the pens and don&#039;t scrutinize other security features. Because it&#039;s so simple to defeat a pen, people will actually pass counterfeit notes to places that use it. For example a $5 bleached and reprinted as a $20 is a very common tactic and the pen will not alert you to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s an interest article: <a href="http://calladus.blogspot.com/2006/09/testing-counterfeit-money-detector-pen.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://calladus.blogspot.com/2006/09/testing-counterfeit-money-detector-pen.html" rel="nofollow">http://calladus.blogspot.com/2006/09/testing-counterfeit-money-detector-pen.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Turns out the pens show coffee filters to be real money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
