Paper sheet processing apparatus and paper sheet processing system

Abstract

Provided is a paper sheet processing system capable of preventing circulation of wrong bills and managing the wrong bills. A paper sheet processing apparatus stores the serial number of each bill determined by a verification unit to be genuine to a storage unit and sends the serial number to a management server together with the identification number of a bill holder. In collecting the bills from the bill holder to a bill collection apparatus, the bill collection apparatus reads the serial numbers of the bills with a line sensor and reads the identification number of the bill holder with a reader/writer and sends the serial numbers and the identification number to the management server. The management server compares the serial numbers to determine whether any discrepancy exists. If detecting a discrepancy, the management server sends a detection signal to a management apparatus.
