There’s nothing like scanning fresh money in a birthday card and sending your great aunt to jail for counterfeiting. Scan your bills with this pocket-sized detector, and its UV rays will search for the magnetic ink found on legit dough, which is used for character recognition in computerized banking. Now the folks at Burger King can stop using those color-changing markers. Only available in Japan.
