Abstract
A method of counting and validating the value of a currency document includes the steps of sensing at least one coded tag printed on the currency document; determining a scanning time at which the sensing device sensed the coded tag; determining from the sensed coded tag and determined scanning time a unique identity of the currency document; comparing the unique identity of the currency document with a list of suspect identities to determine a validity of the currency document; and determining a value for the currency document from the unique identity.
Claims5
A method of counting and validating the value of a currency document, the currency document having printed thereon a repetition of identical coded tags, the method comprising the steps of:
- sensing at least one coded tag from the repetition of coded tags printed on the currency document;
- determining a scanning time at which the sensing device sensed the coded tag;
- determining from the sensed coded tag and determined scanning time a unique identity of the currency document;
- comparing the unique identity of the currency document with a list of suspect identities to determine a validity of the currency document;
- and
- determining a value for the currency document from the unique identity and determined validity.
