Based on this, personal information and manufacturing history are stored and controlled.

When multiple bills are issued to the same recipient, an attached serial number is assigned after the individual unique number and managed. As an example, when a specific individual unique number is 100, when multiple bills are issued to the same recipient, 100-01 , 100-02, 100-03, ... are assigned serial numbers in the order.

Based on the signal of the barcode reader 15, the overlapping unit 21 stacks bills having serial numbers appended to the same personal identification number, and up to four sheets are possible.

The reason for the maximum of 4 sheets is that the folding machine usually folds the A4 size bill into 3 parts in the form of Z, so it is folded with the thickness of 3 sheets. Therefore, when 4 sheets are grounded in 3 equal parts, the sheets are grounded with a thickness of 12 sheets, and if this is exceeded, a tremendous impact is applied to the grounding roller.
