In general, a banknote sorting machine counts banknotes as well as discriminates whether accepted banknotes are legitimate, suitable for banknote circulation, or discarded. For example, the authenticity of the bills (ie, classified into new bills, circulated bills, damaged bills, etc.) or whether they are counterfeit bills is discriminated. For reference, the banknote checker not only recognizes the type of banknote (for example, 1,000 won, 5,000 won, 10,000 won, dollar, yuan, euro, yen, etc.) , to identify the state in which circulation is possible or impossible to the extent of damage such as tearing), and is used as a concept including all kinds of bill processing devices equipped with a bill serial number recognition function.

In addition, note that the banknote machine is not limited to just banknotes, but can also process papers such as banknotes, checks, bills, securities, deeds, paper medium, gift certificates, coupons, tickets, trademarks, and ID cards. do.

Bank, terminal companies, currency exchange offices, credit boxes, night banks, financial institutions such as post offices, gas stations, entertainment establishments, restaurants, night establishments such as hotels, department stores, general offices, supermarkets, duty-free shops, chain stores, convenience stores, etc. It is mainly used in businesses or stores that handle securities, checks and cash.
