When cashiers are handed a twenty dollar bill, they must mark it with red or black ink to check the authenticity.
Shops use different methods to detect counterfeit paper money. One method is to mark it with a special pen, the ink from which will change colour if used on a counterfeit note. However it means a lot of marked notes are in circulation.

No, a real 1950 twenty dollar bill should not be marked as fake by a counterfeit pen since the technology used in the pen is designed to detect specific features found in modern counterfeit bills. The ink on a legitimate 1950 bill may react differently with the pen due to its age, but it should not be mistaken as fake solely based on the pen test.
