Fax could have used one of those markers to detect counterfeit bills. Of course, if the sweater buyer was some hood rat, she would have come over the counter (two sawhorses with a sheet of plywood covered in an old tablecloth) at which point Fax would have had to go "steel pipe" on her ass.
The ensuing legal proceedings would likely cost Fax considerably, but its hard to put value on being known in your neighborhood as " bad, bad, Fax Brown".
