Can a real 1950 twenty dollar bill be marked fake by a counterfeit pen?

I just marked a 1950 ten dollar bill with a counterfeit detector pen. The ink turned black indicating it was fake. It says on the pen that it is 'effective on most currency series 1959 and after.' I wonder if the bills were made differently prior to that date causing the ink to turn black as though they were counterfeit, or if the age alone makes the paper react differently to the ink.

No, a real 1950 twenty dollar bill should not be marked as fake by a counterfeit pen since the technology used in the pen is designed to detect specific features found in modern counterfeit bills. The ink on a legitimate 1950 bill may react differently with the pen due to its age, but it should not be mistaken as fake solely based on the pen test.

The lack of "In God We Trust" on a 1950 twenty dollar bill is not indicative of a printing error or counterfeit. The motto was added to U.S. currency starting in the mid-1950s, so bills printed before that time do not contain it. To determine if a bill is a counterfeit, look for watermarks, security threads, color-shifting ink, and other security features typical of genuine currency.
