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.

What does it mean to have unmarked bills?

Bank employees are able to "mark" bills in certain instances such as bank robbery. The mark is only recognizable by machine not the human eye. If a bill is unmarked it is impossible to determine if the bill was stolen. Also marked bills can be used with counterfeit money. If money is unmarked by a banking institution then it is counterfeit.


How can you tell if a bill is marked?

A marked bill typically has distinguishing features, such as writing, stamps, or unique patterns that set it apart from standard currency. Look for visible markings, such as a colored ink or specific symbols, which are often used to track or identify the bill. Additionally, some bills may have serial numbers or codes that indicate they are part of a marked set. Always check with local regulations or financial institutions for guidelines on identifying marked currency.

Can a real 1950 twenty dollar bill be marked fake by a counterfeit pen?

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.
