Ultraviolet (UV) Detection
The
UV counterfeit detection system allows for easy verification of
security threads on bills and holographic images on IDs. All authentic
US bills are minted with a thin security thread embedded in the fabric.
When viewed under ultraviolet rays, the thread will glow a certain color
depending on the bill denomination. Most government issues IDs, such as
drivers licenses, will have an invisible holographic image printed on
the ID that will only be revealed under UV light.
Microprint Detection
The
magnifying lens conveniently equipped on the top of the unit allows for
the verification of microprinting, which are tiny text, numbers, and
markings hidden in the bill. The most notable microprinting security
marking is the text printed on the security thread of each US bill. The
print will read different texts according to the bill denomination.
Watermark Verification
Watermarks
are hidden images embedded within the authentic bill's fabric that are
difficult to see. The RCD-2000's fluorescent plate will shine light
through the bill to reveal a watermark image that is located on the far
right side of the bill (bill facing up). The watermark image will
resemble that of the person on the bill.
Magnetic Ink Detection
All
authentic US bills are printed with ink that has small traces of iron.
The magnetic detection system allows for easy verification of the iron
ink. Simply rub a bill face down on the detection plate in a fast, back
and forth motion. The RCD-2000's magnetic detection will beep and blink
red if it detects this magnetic trait in the ink.
