This bill checker has been the standard in counterfeit detection for over 25 years.

Dri Mark’s classic forgery detection pen tests for counterfeit bills by quickly authenticating genuine banknote paper. Simple to use. Make a small mark on US currency. A clear/amber mark indicates US currency paper. A dark mark means the bill is probably counterfeit. Since currency paper stock is not available to the public, Dri Mark’s special ink authenticates the paper’s stock by color.
