All US Bills are printed with magnetic ink. It is actually designed to help with counting large stacks of bills and no so much for counterfeit testing, but it can still be useful.
If you have a small but strong magnet, such as a neodymium magnet, you can lift a real bill - not enough to make it fly off a table, but you can definitely tell if it is magnetic.
If you really want to freak someone out, you can pull out one of these bad boys.
The pens are relatively useless.
The Secret Service is the gov't entity that deals with counterfeit bills, fyi.
We use this at my restaurant, with zero issues.
We have machines in the US too. They are just not very common from what I've seen. Pens are cheaper, and companies are even cheaper.
These 3 styles are the ones I've seen most often. Maybe not the exact model, but definitely these around a lot. The UV one seems to be the most common, lots of grocery stores around me have them. But I went to Target, or some store like that, (can't remember exactly) and they had the actual scanner where they had to feed each bill in 1 at a time. It's so fucking slow.
