How to use

Apply a small mark from the pen onto an inconspicuous area of the banknote, preferably on the white margin or paper fibre. Observe the mark: if it discolours or develops a dark stain, the note may be counterfeit. If the mark fades and disappears within a few seconds, the bill is likely genuine. Store the pen capped and upright when not in use to maintain ink performance.

Recommendations

Use the Safescan 111-0442 as a first-step check in combination with other verification methods such as watermark, security thread, and UV inspection for higher accuracy. Avoid marking high-value notes in visible areas and replace the pen if ink flow becomes inconsistent.
