Can this be used to detect counterfeit money?

You would need to buy the product which comes with batteries, it is an ultraviolet light, or have a look at this website, if that is your primary concern.http://www.blacklightshop.com/

If it's a counterfeit, it's a really good one. One way to tell (so I've read) is the lettering on the genuine one is engraved and the counterfeit ones are just stenciled. The one I received is engraved.

Gold is gold regardless of the form..... But any way the answer is yea it will detect nuggets.....

Its very easy to use. We own a Liquor Store and a lot of currency passes through here. We haven't had any counterfeit bills. It has two types of checking bills, one is with ultraviolet for the strips in the bills and the other is back lit for seeing the water marks. I would recommend this detector to anyone especially a business.

It should work fine if the bills are about the same shape as dollars. It just counts them, it doesn't recognize the face

I doubt it very much. These strips come with a computer chip that fits into the side of the unit to calibrate it to that particular strip lot. Even if the strips fit a different machine, odds are the results would not be at all accurate.

Mine was original and if it was counterfeit they did an amazing job. Works great as always.

I've owned this detector for a couple of years. It has performed well. To respond to your question; No consumer grade metal detector I am aware of is sensitive to the physical shape of any metal. There need only be an adequate amount of that metal for the detector coil chosen to sense a 'return' and transmit that back to the display. Certain coils are wound to better detect gold than others. If gold is what you're going for I suggest you look into also picking up a gold finding coil from BountyHunter.

I cannot exactly answer your question with confidence, but I can say this...I wanted to do something similar and found this device to be worthless. The only positive thing I can say about it was that it came with two fairly standard sized coin batteries, so I still had them when I threw it away.

it can if it is within the .08 - .6 mm , so if it isn't a thick one it most likely would, it is a great little scanner but as with most things has its limitations. It is difficult to answer definitively without knowing thickness of ID.

I'm not aware of counterfeit Lekue. I can only say that what I have is an effective product that does what it advertises.

I have only used it on American money. When foreign coins are put in it, it gets stuck.

I have seen this product sold with a bar code scanner which leads me to believe that it is possible. However I have no need to use one so have not explored the issue.

Yes, it will work. I just tested it on some small kitchen items like spoons/measuring cups and I am able to get a reading as small as 0.1 pounds

Yes it can detect gold, silver, brass & copper...nickel & zinc clad objects...alongwith aluminum and dicast metals...

I highly doubt it. You should probably investigate something made from metal rather than paper.

My guess is that a counterfeit one would be manufactured better than the original one. So, I really wouldn't worry about it. It took 2 packages of the real ones to make one good working unit.
