The quality of counterfeit U.S. currency runs the gamut from convincing to ridiculous. The U.S. Treasury has been changing the look of U.S. currency since 1996. If you haven’t kept up with all the changes, it may be difficult to tell the difference between authentic and counterfeit U.S. currency.
OfficeMax, our strategic partner and national contract supplier for office supplies has the solution. The Counterfeit Detector System makes ultraviolet (UV) ink easily visible. UV ink is found on U.S. currency, credit cards, driver’s licenses, travelers’ checks, money orders, and other UV-impregnated items.
The Counterfeit Detector System is available through eBuy. Item number A41620300 is in stock for next day delivery and costs only $35.00. If you don’t have access to eBuy, call OfficeMax at 888-229-8777 to place your order.
Remember to follow Publication 348, Window Services Crime Prevention Booklet, when confronted with counterfeit currency.
