[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 338381, member: 8247"]OK, looking to help a friend make some extra money selling UV Pen Lights for detecting counterfeit currency. I figure the best place to start is to target restaurants, convenience stores, etc... anywhere you see the cashiers using those stinking counterfeit pens. I figure the sales pitch could go something along the lines of giving the business owner/manager free materials from the BEP like the know your money posters, explaining the faults and indeficiencies of the counterfeit pen, then giving a demonstration on how the pen fails to detect known counterfeit notes, yet show how the pen light quickly detects them. I imagine short of finding any modern counterfeits, I could just bleach a few $1 bills and a $5 bill to still show how the paper can be reused. =========== Just a footnote before someone says it. It's illegal to attempt to pass a known counterfeit note as a genuine note. It is not illegal to merely possess one (although possession of counterfeit notes can be viewed as probable cause on a search warrant, but keeping them together with sales materials for UV lights should avert any type of suspicion in that arena).[/QUOTE]
