> And I test the cash with a counterfeit detector pen.

FYI, having owned a liquor store for a while and processing a ton of cash, the only counterfeit bills the pens could detect were the crappy amateur ones that were already pretty obvious without using the pen. Plenty of counterfeit bills passed the pen test just fine and didn't get revealed until the bank rejected them from a deposit.
