Everything you need to know if dollars are real or not: learn these different ways to find out.
The interest in saving in foreign currency, particularly in American dollars increases in our country as the inflation of the peso increases or remains at high levels. Therefore, as the market for buying and selling the currency is informal, there is a danger of receiving fake currency.
For this, there are different verification methods. United States Federal Reserve (FED) and the government have released reports detailing the security measures of the banknotes, but there are simpler methods to know if the copies are real or fake.

These are the apps that let you know if a bill is fake
The digital age brought with it new applications and programs for all kinds of entertainment and new age problems. In this case, developers have created different applications for mobile devices to detect, using the camera, whether a banknote is valid or not. Among the most notable, we find the following:
MCT Money Reader
It is available only for devices with Android operating system, and can be downloaded from the PlayStore. It offers the possibility of detecting a counterfeit banknote through the mobile phone camera, but also gives practical advice on how to check it manually.
Counterfeit
This option is only accessible to users of the iOS operating system. That is, for iPhones and Apple devices in general. It works in the same way, as a scanner, with the device’s camera you can easily detect whether the bill is real or fake.
Cash Reader Bill Identifier
Unlike the previous ones, this application is available for all operating systems. By scanning the bill with the webcam, the application determines its authenticity in just a few seconds. In addition to offering this service for the US currency, it has in its database the information to verify bills from multiple countries quickly and efficiently. However, the free version has certain limitations, for example, in the case of the Colombian currency, it can only verify bills of one thousand or two thousand pesos. The Premium version does not have these limitations.
