@froge @frog I think the theory that it turns on a UV light so you can check bills makes sense. I was hoping it did something more fancy and mysterious...

@futurebird Seems to be aimed at the Philippines market. UV light I guess to check if currency is valid?The dual display is kinda cool.

@futurebird "I will need to borrow 30 of your newest $100 bills for further study as my money detector was inconclusive and I don't like lickin' batteries to test them anymore, ever since."

@futurebird "money detector" is likely a deep-blue/ultra-violet LED (aka "black" light) that makes anti-counterfeiting symbols in banknotes glow brightly

@ricci @futurebird Out of interest I looked up what the "Money Detector" is. It turns on a UV LED on the side so you can check anti-counterfeiting features on notes.I love little tooling micro-optimisations like that.

@futurebird People laugh but, being able to be shown a price on a calculator makes shopping in small markets in countries where i don't know the language a LOT easier. This is a neat feature.

@futurebird i love that someone thought "I'm going to make a calculator specifically for that old person at the store who types the prices in a pocket calculator and spins it around on the table to show me". There is something human to the story here.

@futurebird I just love the aesthetic of Calculator as it is, not in your phone.Yeah, we might have a calculator app on our phones, but the aesthetic of pressing a number on a machine that was born to do it was something else.I especially love those Printing Calculators.

@futurebird Player 1, wizard: "ok I've pressed the money detector button and it says there's no money in the chest the orc is guarding; it's all behind a secret panel on the North wall."Player 2, bard: "I offer the orc 10% of the profits if he promises to just stand there while we raid the secret compartment behind the panel."

@futurebird Presumably, the rear-facing display inverts the numbers so the person across the table can read 0.7734 properly? 😁

@futurebird @llewelly Economics as a D&D religion, would be a laugh for clerics. There would be a Game Designer deity, and doctrine that explains the ludo/narrative imperative for treasure seeking in adventurers, rent seeking and moat defending for your lords and liches.
