Simple & Fast Money Detection Solution

KINGTON’s UV LED counterfeit detectors provide simple, fast, and reliable verification for banknotes and security documents. They are ideal for use in cash centers, money changers, retail counters, banks, and mobile inspection scenarios.

Compared with traditional UV tube detectors, KINGTON’s LED-based models use energy-efficient UV LED light sources, eliminating the need for tube replacement and significantly extending service life with minimal maintenance.

Using ultraviolet (UV) illumination, the detectors reveal fluorescent security features and embedded elements on genuine banknotes. Selected models also support white light, magnetic (MG), and magnification inspection, enabling multi-level authentication across major global currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, THB, PHP, INR, and more.

Perfect for verifying:
✅ Banknotes
✅ Credit cards
✅ Traveler’s cheques
✅ ID card, passports, securities, and other official documents

Key Features:
✅ Cost-effective, durable, long-lasting LED light source
✅ Simple, user-friendly operation with CE safety certification
UV-LED illumination highlights many fluorescent security features and threads on genuine currency
✅ Optional rechargeable battery for convenient portable use anytime, anywhere
✅ Suitable for both stationary and mobile applications

U.S. Currency Security Thread Under UV Light:

U.S. banknotes of $5 and higher contain an embedded security thread positioned differently for each denomination. Under UV light, the thread fluoresces in a specific color and is visible from both sides of the note.

  • $100 bill: Red

  • $50 bill: Yellow

  • $20 bill: Green

  • $10 bill: Orange

  • $5 bill: Blue

Note: Older counterfeit U.S. bills often fluoresce blue/white under UV light due to the presence of optical brighteners in fake paper. Genuine currency will display a distinct colored security thread in the correct position (except for $1 and $2 bills).

U.S. Currency Watermark:

Hold the note up to light to view the watermark located to the right of the portrait on $5 and higher denominations. Watermarks are visible from both sides of the note.

  • On $10 and above, the watermark matches the portrait

  • The $5 note contains two numeral “5” watermarks

U.S. Currency Micro-printing:

Micro-printing is featured in several locations on denominations $5 and higher and can aid in authentication. These small printed words, which may require magnification to see, should be clear. Micro-printing corresponds to the denomination or contains phrases such as “THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “USA,” or “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
