dye pack
Bank theft deterrent
A dye pack is a hidden anti-theft device placed in bundles of cash at banks, designed to explode and release permanent ink if removed from the premises during a robbery.
The bright dye—usually red or blue—stains the money and the thief, making both identifiable: The robber's hands were covered in dye pack residue.
