Currency Detector Pen

A currency detector pen is the main defense against checking whether or not a legal note is real or falsified. As the people who create the bills get more and more intelligent in their ways it is important for the people taking the money to know what their tools check for. Bringing into question why the pen works is the first step to fighting illegal money making. Most people would tell you that the pen looks for the correct ink. This is an incorrect notion. Ink, regardless of the color has the same basic element structure, not varying completely from one another. The secret of the money is that it is not printed on paper. It is printed on a combination of 75 precent cotton and 25 percent linen. This makes it a cloth and free of wooden particles, which is what the pen actually looks for.

This can be sent back to the cause of the civil war. The North wanted to create a central bank and a way to make money that would be too difficult for the average person to copy. Taking the South's cotton to make the money would be a key factor. The South fought to keep it. Whether or not they knew what they were really fighting for is beyond the scope of this piece of work.

The reality is that money is not printed on paper at all which is why the people who counterfiet it using paper will always be caught if a cash attendent uses the pen. The day that the wicked wake up and realize this is a day that we should all be concerned with.
