Abstract
A counterfeit detector cash register which includes a housing defining an interior chamber, a keyboard on a top portion of the housing, an electrical data processor within the interior chamber, a data output device on the housing, a cash drawer, a counterfeit currency detector station within the housing, and an electrical power source. The counterfeit currency detector station includes a currency entry slot along a front of the housing, wherein paper currency is at least partially inserted into the housing. The station also includes an ultraviolet light source within the interior chamber of the housing, which emits ultraviolet light onto the paper currency while within the housing. The station further includes a viewing panel along a top portion of the housing, through which the paper currency is viewed while within the housing. The invention is economical in cost and space by eliminating the need for multiple machines.
