System and method for saving statistical data of currency bills in a currency processing device

A currency processing system data storage arrangement, comprising:

• a currency processing system comprising a first controller, a communication interface, and at least one sensor arranged to output to the first controller raw data associated with a sensed characteristic of processed currency bills;
• and
• a memory data storage defining a database for storing at least one of the raw data or derivative data associated therewith received from the first controller through the communication interface,
• wherein the derivative data corresponds to statistical data associated with the raw data,
• wherein the memory data storage is accessible by at least one of the first controller and a second controller through at least one of the communication interface and another communication interface,
• wherein the currency processing system comprises a plurality of sensors, each of the plurality of the sensors arranged to sense at least one characteristic of a processed currency bill and output a signal bearing data corresponding to the at least one characteristic to the first controller, and
• wherein the memory data storage defines a plurality of databases, each of the plurality of databases being adapted to receive data corresponding to a designated one of the plurality of sensors.
