Abstract: One object is to easily manage a large number of banknotes. A money management system includes a banknote handling apparatus having a serial number reading unit that reads a serial number of each banknote to be grouped, and a management server having a control unit that manages by grouping the serial numbers read by the serial number reading unit, receives an input of a target serial number, identifies a target group containing the target serial number from among the groups and outputs the serial numbers of all the banknotes belonging to the target group.

Abstract: A money handling system allows easy handling of money, which is processed in a first money handling apparatus installed in a shop and the like, in a second money handling apparatus installed in another place. The money is transported using a container in which the money is stored in mixed state. The second money handling apparatus receives, recognizes and counts the money of a plurality of transactions processed by the first money handling apparatus. Based on money information generated when processed by the first money handling apparatus and a recognition and counting result obtained by the second money handling apparatus, it is determined whether the money recognized and counted by the second money handling apparatus matches with the money from the plurality of transactions processed by the first money handling apparatus.

Abstract: A money handling system which is a transport destination allows easy handling of money processed in a first money handling apparatus which is a transport origin and installed in a shop and the like. The money handling system includes: a second money handling apparatus that receives, recognizes and counts money of a plurality of transactions processed by the first money handling apparatus, in a state where the money of each transaction cannot be distinguished per transaction; and a determination unit that acquires money information generated when the money of the plurality of transactions has been processed by the first money handling apparatus, and based on the money information and a recognition and counting result obtained by the second money handling apparatus, determines whether the money of the plurality of transactions recognized and counted by the second money handling apparatus matches with the money of the plurality of transactions processed by the first money handling apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bill discriminating and counting apparatus having a function in which two operators can commonly operate the one apparatus. That is, two pairs of a process instruction button for instructing start/stop of a discriminating and counting process and an approval button for approving counting result are provided, two independent storage areas are provided in a storage area in which the counting result is stored, the counting result is stored in the corresponding storage area while each storage area is associated with the pair of the process instruction button and the approval button, and two operators can commonly use the one bill discriminating and counting apparatus by providing occupation switching means for switching an occupation state of the bill discriminating and counting apparatus and occupation state display means for displaying a current-occupation state.

Abstract: A paper sheet recognition apparatus, a paper sheet management apparatus, and paper sheet recognition method for performing recognition process for the paper sheets such as banknotes, checks, bills and exchange coupons, wherein image data of the paper sheets are acquired, and identification data that is printed on the paper sheets to identify the paper sheets uniquely are extracted in accordance with the acquired image data, while managing the identification information extracted correspondingly to the registration numbers marked on the paper sheets and the acquired image data, thereby allowing to precisely identify whether or not the paper sheets are judged to be legitimate bills by the paper sheets recognition apparatus.

Abstract: In a banknote recognition and counting machine (10), information concerning a count result on coins is inputted through an input unit (32, 53), and then the information concerning the count result on the coins inputted through the input unit (32, 53) is sent to a control unit (50). Thereafter, information concerning a count result on one or more banknotes counted by a recognition and counting unit (24) and the information concerning the count result on the coins inputted through the input unit are outputted, through an output unit (32p, 34, 52, 38).

Abstract: The present invention provides a paper sheet recognizing apparatus for recognizing paper sheets having different sizes and colors for each type, by using a sensing unit including a line sensor that detects a light quantity of reflected light or transmitted light obtained by irradiating a paper sheet being transported with a plurality of lights having different source wavelengths. The apparatus includes a storing unit that stores therein reference size data and reference light quantity data generated beforehand for each type of paper sheets to be recognition candidates; a first determining unit that selects a recognition target type from the recognition candidates based on detected size data of the paper sheet detected by the sensing unit and the reference size data; and a second determining unit that determines a type of the paper sheet by comparing detected light quantity data of the paper sheet detected by the line sensor with the reference light quantity data of the recognition target type.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bill discriminating and counting apparatus including a display section which can perform display written in plural languages. The bill discriminating and counting apparatus includes a second storage area in which display data of a mother language can be written in addition to a first storage area in which data for the display written in commonly-used English is stored, and the display written in the mother language can be performed by writing the display data written in the mother language in the second storage area in the country where the bill discriminating and counting apparatus is used.

Abstract: A bill recognizing and counting apparatus includes a feeding and transporting mechanism; a line sensor to scan an image of the bills; a denomination determination table in which denomination recognition data is registered for at least one currency; a denomination recognizing unit that recognizes a denomination of the currency by referring to the table; a processing-mode switching unit that switches between a denomination mode and a different currency recognition mode; a different-currency recognizing unit that compares a difference in size between a first bill and each bill of a second bill and thereafter with an allowable range, and recognizes whether the each bill of the second bill and thereafter is of the same denomination as the first bill; and a control unit that guides the bill being determined as a different denomination to a rejecting unit or stops the feeding and transporting mechanism.
