Abstract

A currency evaluation device for receiving a stack of currency bills and rapidly evaluating all the bills in the stack comprises an input receptacle positioned to receive a stack of bills to be evaluated, a single output receptacle positioned to receive the bills after the bills have been evaluated, and a transport mechanism comprising a transport drive motor and transport rollers. The transport mechanism is located between the input receptacle and the output receptacle to transport the bills, one at a time, from the input receptacle to the output receptacle along a transport path. A denomination discriminating unit includes two denomination detectors positioned along and on opposite sides of the transport path between the input receptacle and the output receptacle, and comprises a processor. The detectors generate characteristic information output signals in response to detected characteristic information; the characteristic information output signals being electrically coupled to the processor. The processor receives the characteristic information output signals, and generates a denomination signal in response thereto. A method of counting and discriminating documents of different types using a document evaluation device comprises receiving a stack of documents to be evaluated in an input receptacle of the evaluation device, genuine ones of the documents each having one of a plurality of images thereon, the plurality of images defining a plurality of document types. Under control of the evaluation device, the documents are transported, one at a time, from the input receptacle to a single output receptacle of the evaluation device. Counting and determining the type of the documents is under control of the evaluation device; the evaluation device distinguishing among the plurality of document types by scanning the image on each side of the documents and using the images to distinguish among the plurality of document types. A document can be flagged when the type of the document can not be determined.
