We purchased this after trialing a cheaper non-branded product that would not support the new English notes or Scottish notes and this is miles better. This is currently the only product on thr market that checks English and Scottish notes in the Safescan line up, the more expensive Safescan models do not support Scottish or Irish notes in GBP mode. A must buy, we now can safely check and accept all UK money and be certain the notes are 100% real. Read more

I purchased the Safescan 155-S Automatic Counterfeit Money Detector for a very personal reason: I’m selling my Rolex watch to help fund my daughter’s IVF treatment. In a transaction of that importance, you simply can’t afford to take chances — and in today’s world, unfortunately, counterfeit currency is a very real concern. Whether you’re using it for personal peace of mind or daily business transactions, the Safescan 155-S offers fast, reliable, and highly accurate banknote verification. It scans and verifies notes in under a second, using up to seven advanced security checks, including infrared and magnetic inks, metallic threads, watermarks, size, thickness, and colour detection. It supports multiple pre-installed currencies, including GBP, Scottish (SCT), Northern Irish (NIR) banknotes, and Euros — making it ideal for both UK-based and broader European use. One of the most reassuring features is that the Safescan 155-S is regularly tested by central banks to ensure its detection algorithms stay ahead of evolving counterfeit techniques. That means you’re not just relying on a gadget — you’re trusting a system backed by institutional-level validation. What really impressed me is the built-in add function, which effectively turns your counterfeit detector into a compact money counter. With this feature, you can total the number and value of verified notes. Pair it with the optional RS-100 banknote stacker, and you’ve got a complete cash-handling system that collects and holds your notes until you’re ready to process them — making cash flow management smoother and more efficient. Despite its capabilities, the Safescan 155-S is remarkably compact. It has one of the smallest footprints in its class, which means it fits easily into any workspace — whether it’s a retail counter, a personal safe area, or a mobile setup. With the optional LB-105 battery, you can even use it on the go, offering unmatched flexibility. It’s also future-proof — if new banknotes are introduced or more advanced counterfeits surface, you can easily update your device via a free software package from Safescan’s website. That makes it a smart long-term investment. ⸻ In summary: The Safescan 155-S is a high-quality, professional-grade counterfeit detector that provides peace of mind when you need it most. For personal or professional use, it’s an excellent tool — accurate, compact, flexible, and easy to update. In my case, it brought a sense of control and security to a transaction that mattered deeply to me. Truly, it’s a product that pays for itself — again and again. Read more
