SHOPWORX Ballpoint Pen with UV Light

The Sekura Ballpoint Pen with UV Light is designed for the latest generation of UK banknotes, replacing the previous method of detection by marking. This low cost solution quickly and easily detects the validity of the new polymer currency, by illuminating the hidden value figures at the top of each note.

The Bank of England reports that, in the first half of 2019, around 228,000 counterfeit banknotes were taken out of circulation - with a face value of about 5 million pounds. Though only a small percentage of counterfeit currency is in circulation in the UK at any given time, because banks cannot reimburse retailers when they turn in identified fakes, reducing the risk at your POS is a must.

The Sekura UV Pen also features a standard ballpoint nib, allowing you to use the security pen for note-making and signature taking at the till. This UV pen has been designed to work best with the latest currency in the UK, but it will also help identify forgeries in the outgoing note stock as well. Simply run the UV light over the note to reveal the hidden value and design features, the position of these may vary in older notes, and find an added sense of assurance with every transaction. For added piece of mind when taking older notes, use in conjunction with the CMD1 Money Detector Marker Pen.
