Chaperone® Money Pen Description
The Chaperone® Money Pen checks authenticity of bank notes via colour change to paper (See above).
There is a deluge of Forged £20 Notes currently circulating within the UK. Forged notes are big business and are usually passed off in shops and pubs or clubs at busy periods. The type of shops targeted vary but the forger will look for shops with longish queues, like bakers and general stores. In this way, the forger will wait in the queue until reaching the front and order something quite small and then tender a dud £20 note.
They are looking to maximise the profit by getting as much change as possible for their dud note. They are relying on the amount of shoppers who are queuing to cause the shopkeeper to 'rush' through each transaction so as to get through the customers as quickly as possible so as not to risk losing any of them.
Simply making a small, swift line on each note with the Chaperone® Money Pen will immediately show whether further inspection is necessarry because if the note is genuine, the mark left by the pen will be light in colour but if the pen leaves a dark or black mark, the probability is that the note is a forgery. Remember, the banks will not compensate you for a forged note handed in so the entire loss is down to the poor old shopkeeper.
