Depends on the currency and the security that has been set up in them. When colour copiers were first marketed, US dollars were successfully copied and passed off as real. A UV detector doesn't always work, as if the currency has been exposed to bleach, real currency will appear as fake.
Most paper currencies have security features. Watermarks, special paper, embedded strips, special inks, there are lots of these.
Metal currency, coins and such also have some, but are much easier to fake as there are not as many of these and also because the cost of making coins are usually higher than the cost of the coin, it rarely occurs.

You can hold it up to the light to look for watermark/metallic piece in money. Many times people have a currency pen that is called "The International Currency Validator", which can detect if it is fake or not.

If it can be spotted easily then that is not a fake currency at all,then that is children's play currency.

Hold it up into the light and there is a watermark.It looks like the picture in the middle of the bill.A fake bill would not have that because the watermark cannot be copied.
