Dropped $22 on a little keychain scanner for my register and it saved me from a $200 shortfall
A lady tried to hand me a fake $100 bill on a busy Saturday and that $22 pen caught it right away when I swiped the marker strip. My manager said we were running $200 short that week across all shifts, so I'm never working a register without it again. Any of you got a cheap tool that ended up being worth way more than you paid?

That pen is the classic move but here's the thing nobody talks about, it only catches the washed out bills that turn brown or yellow. The good fakes now get printed on real bleached paper and the marker does nothing, or worse they just use a real bill and it passes fine. Your store getting hit for $200 across all shifts in one week is a red flag that whoever is passing them knows your busy hours and your staff. The tool helps but the real save is having one person check every bill over $50 no matter how long the line is, because a fake biller counts on you rushing.
