“Counterfeit Money Detector allows you to se the little marks and other security measures to probe a bill´s authenticity under an Ultraviolet light. Your cellphone screen isn´t a UV lamp but we have optimized it as much as possible you may not be able to se anything in daylight you have to do it in a rather dark place. On the other hand the watermark view is strong enough for you to use it anywhere.

ATTENTION: In some cases such as US DOLARS or EUROS the UV light Isn´t showing because a tft screen is not a UV lamp, so if you don´t see the marks on your money try using the watermark detector.

Compatibility:

The watermark detector is compatible with all the money.

The UV is not compatible with the following:

Dollars
Euros
Mexican Pesos
