![]() Moreover, banknote handling machines do not fall within the scope of these tests ( see test results of banknote handling machines). Verification aids, such as magnifying glasses and UV lamps, which do not automatically provide the result of the authenticity check and thus require the user to decide whether the checked banknote is genuine or not, are not covered by these tests. counting machines without automated separation of suspect banknotes from genuine banknotes) – Category 2. batch processing devices for counting and authenticating banknotes which are not suitable for testing under Decision ECB/2010/14 (i.e.banknote acceptor modules with a single note input (no batch processing) for integration into machines such as vending machines – Category 1b.stand-alone single note authentication devices with a single note input (no batch processing) - Category 1a.The authentication device types eligible for testing can be categorised as: Auto-detection devices are those that indicate, by means of a visible or audible signal or a text-based display, whether the checked banknote is found to be genuine or not. These tests are offered only for “auto-detection devices”. The purpose of the tests is not to determine whether a device is user-friendly, safe, durable, easily serviceable, etc. ![]() correctly identify genuine euro banknotes contained in a test deck of genuine banknotes (the “recognition test”).correctly detect counterfeit euro banknotes contained in a test deck of counterfeit banknotes (the “counterfeit test”).The European Central Bank publishes information on the devices tested in order to help banknote users to choose from the devices available.Ĭounterfeit detection devices may help retailers and other users of euro banknotes in detecting counterfeits, but they cannot entirely replace the user's own considered opinion based on the banknotes' security features (see information on the security features of the euro banknotes).Įach device is tested by an NCB, in accordance with a common Eurosystem procedure, to check its ability to: Some models are certified by the Bank of England to have a 100% accuracy.In order to support manufacturers of counterfeit detection devices in their endeavours to develop and enhance their products, the national central banks (NCBs) of the Eurosystem offer manufacturers of counterfeit detection devices, or their appointed agents, the possibility of testing such devices using a wide range of representative counterfeit euro banknotes. Large wads of notes are inserted, and the built-in image sensors count the notes, calculate the total amount which is shown on the device’s display, and detect counterfeited notes. Automatic counterfeited banknote detectors: these machines double-up as banknote counters. Also, these counterfeit detectors will not work on plastic, polymer banknotes widely used in Asia-Pacific countries, and sometimes used in the UK. This very inexpensive counterfeit detector therefore does not work on the few but possible occasions when a counterfeited banknote is made of actual fibre-based paper. The ink does not react when it is applied onto legitimate banknotes made of fibre-based paper, and the intended pen colour shows but using the pen on a banknote made of normal copy paper will leave a dark stain. Note checker pens: using an iodine solution, these pens are used to mark the banknote. If any of these security features fail to appear, or seems blurred, the user will see the banknote may be a counterfeited one. UV marks will glow when exposed to UV light, metal threads will shine out, and watermarks will be fully visible. UV bank note checker: this type of counterfeit detector uses UV lamps to shed ultraviolet light onto the banknotes to reveal banknote embedded safety features such as UV marks, metal thread or watermarks.
