Method. 1  Test the pen to make sure it can tell the difference between good money and computer paper. 2  Apply spray starch to the next dollar bill in an attempt to make it read as fake. 3  After drying, test the results by re-applying the counterfeit money detector pen to both the dollar and to the computer paper.
The phony bills can pass the pen test, which reacts with starch in paper, but obviously can't stand much further scrutiny. (Hundred dollar bills are also printed with a 3D security ribbon and an ink that changes color in the light.) Brice is hardly the first to use degreaser and an inkjet printer to make fake money. A crime ring in Florida was busted just last year for doing the same.
