Marker Schneider Schreibgeräte Maxx 249

Money check pen for quickly checking whether banknotes are genuine. The pen reacts to starch in paper: a clear or yellowish mark indicates a genuine banknote, while a brown to grey mark suggests the note may be counterfeit. Marks on non-starch-based paper will typically disappear, though a light-coloured trace can remain in some cases. For more reliable authentication, use this test pen together with a dedicated banknote testing device.

Advantages

The Schneider Schreibgeräte Maxx 249 money check pen provides fast, on-the-spot preliminary verification of banknotes by detecting starch-based paper. Its simple colour-change reaction is easy to interpret and requires no power source. The compact, single-marker format makes it convenient to carry and use in retail, office, or personal settings.

How to use

Apply the pen tip briefly to a discreet area of the banknote and observe the mark colour. A clear or yellowish mark indicates starch presence typical for genuine banknote paper; a brown to grey mark indicates possible forgery. If the mark disappears quickly, the paper is likely non-starch-based. Allow the mark to develop for a few seconds before interpreting the result.

Usage recommendations

Use the Schneider Maxx 249 as a preliminary screening tool only. For final authentication, combine pen checks with other verification methods such as UV, magnetic, or watermark detectors and, where available, a banknote testing device.
