Counterfeit Detection

The CASHTEK N10 employs multiple detection methods to identify counterfeit currency:

RGB (Color Spectrum) Detection: Analyzes the color properties of the bills to ensure they match genuine currency.
Dimensional and Thickness Detection: Measures the physical dimensions and thickness of bills to detect anomalies.

If a suspicious bill is detected, the machine will typically stop counting, display an error code, and alert the user. Remove the suspicious bill and press START to resume counting.
