Original Title: TIL banks keep stacks of bills with dye packs next to a magnetic plate at a bank teller's workstation. It remains in standby mode until it's removed from the plate, causing it to become armed. A radio transmitter located at the door triggers an explosion that can reach temperatures of about 400 °F.
