Best Answer

It's more a question of determining whether it's genuine. Very good replica bills have been printed for about 80 or 85 years, using artificially aged paper and photocopied printing. So many have been made that there's an 80 or 90 percent chance that any given Confederate bill is a replica. They aren't technically counterfeits because they were sold as novelty items, but over time a lot have made their way from display cases to the open market.

Replicas made in the 1970s and later must carry the word COPY by law, but earlier ones are almost indistinguishable from the real thing. You'd need to take it to a currency expert who has the experience to ID the real thing.

Does a counterfeit detector pen work on a 1950 fifty dollar bill?

No, counterfeit detector pens are designed to work on modern currency with specific security features. The ink used in the pens reacts to the starch in the paper of modern bills to determine if the bill is genuine. Since a 1950 fifty dollar bill is older and made with different materials, the pen may not work effectively.
