For every type of business
- Shops and supermarkets: check every €20 and €50 note as you take it, without slowing the queue.
- Newsagents, pharmacies and lottery points: fast tills and rotating staff — the detector makes the call, not the cashier.
- Hospitality and petrol stations: busy shifts and late-night payments, a counterfeiter's favourite scenario.
- Deliveries, markets and events: with the optional B1 battery, the detector works wherever there is no socket.
Frequently asked questions
Which counterfeit money detector is the best?
The best counterfeit money detector is an automatic detector tested by the European Central Bank, because it checks features the human eye cannot see (infrared ink, magnetic ink, metallic thread, thickness) in under a second. Detector pens and ultraviolet lamps depend on the cashier’s judgement and do not catch today’s high-quality forgeries.
Are Detectalia detectors approved by the ECB?

Which detector should I choose, the D7X or the D7T+?
Choose the D7X if you take several currencies: it verifies pound sterling, euro, Swiss franc, Polish złoty, Czech koruna and Swedish krona with 7 checks. Choose the D7T+ if you want the total counted: it verifies pound sterling, euro and US dollar and adds up the value on its colour display.
