COUNTERFEIT DETECTION
Certain counter models contain a sophisticated counterfeit detection system (models S-1215 and
S-1225). While the counterfeit detection features are designed to be as accurate as possible, they
are specifically designed to pinpoint suspect banknotes that are believed to have a high probability
of being counterfeit. An alert to a suspect counterfeit banknote does not assure or guarantee that
the banknote is counterfeit. Additionally, while the counter is designed to detect potential
counterfeit banknotes, there is always the possibility that an actual counterfeit banknote may pass
through the screening process undetected.
The UV detection found in models S-1215 and S-1225 is designed to inspect and scrutinize the
banknote paper for potential counterfeit properties while the MG detection found in model S-1225
is designed to inspect and scrutinize the banknote ink for potential counterfeit properties. The
combination of UV and MG detection capabilities found in model S-1225 offers the greatest
protection and has the highest probability of catching a suspect counterfeit banknote.
