Abstract: A banknote acceptor 1 authenticates a banknote 2, and has a sensing station S with detector 18 that produces image signals corresponding to a face the banknote. A processor 24 pre-processes the image signals and compares them with stored reference data corresponding to an acceptable banknote from memory 25 to determining the authenticity of the banknote and its denomination. If the banknote is rejected, data corresponding to the image signals are stored in memory 25 and later are encrypted and transferred to a remote processing station 38, for analysis. Then, updated reference data is transferred from the processing station 38 to the memory 25 for use as updated, stored reference data for comparison with banknotes under test. A corresponding coin acceptor is also described.

Abstract: A device for processing sheet objects comprises a tamper proof housing (55) that contains an opening device (60) operable to receive a container (4) containing sheet objects such as banknotes from outside the housing and to open the container within the housing, and a counting device (68) to count sheet objects from the opened container within the housing and produce a count signal corresponding to the number of sheet objects counted. The count signal can be checked against reference data received (29) from another location or derived from data carried in the container (4) on a RFID tag (21).

Abstract: A sheet handling apparatus has a sheet transport (10, 11) that that frictionally engages the edges of a sheet (23) to move it in a first direction. A foot (12) moves the sheet (23) out of the transport (10, 11) in a second direction perpendicular to the face of the sheet (23). The sheet transport (10, 11) reduces its grip on the edges of the sheet (23) as the foot (12) begins to operate.

Abstract: An acceptor for money items such as coins or banknotes produces a money item parameter signal (x 1 ) depending on a sensed characteristic of the money item. A store (12) provides window data corresponding to normal acceptance ranges of values of the parameter signal for a money item of a particular denomination (NAW), as well as restricted acceptance windows (RAW). A processor (11) determines when an occurrence of the parameter signal (x 1 ) may represent a fraudulent money item and then for subsequent sensed money items compares the value of the parameter signals (x 1 ) with the restricted acceptance range (RAW). The RAW range is used until n succAn acceptor for money items such as coins or banknotes produces a money item parameter signal (x 1 ) depending on a sensed characteristic of the money item.

A processor (11) determines when an occurrence of the parameter signal (x 1 ) may represent a fraudulent money item and then for subsequent sensed money items compares the value of the parameter signals (x 1 ) with the restricted acceptance range (RAW). The RAW range is used until n successive true coins are inserted or a time t has lapsed. After a fraudulent attempt, the values of n and t are increased so that a fraudster cannot then insert n true coins or wait a time t and attempt another fraudulent coin insertion. Also, a focussed rejection window (FRW) rejects coins with suspiciously close parameter signals, which could form part of a counterfeit set.

Abstract: A banknote acceptor 1 for authenticating a banknote 2, has a sensing station S with detector 18 that produces image signals corresponding to a face the banknote. A processor 24 pre-processes the image signals and compares them with stored reference data corresponding to an acceptable banknote from memory 25 to determining the authenticity of the banknote and its denomination. A display device 29 displays an image 31 corresponding to the banknote under test based on the image signals from the detector 18, to allow the user to perform a visual check that the banknote detected at the sensing station corresponds to the banknote under test presented by the user. Also, the detected denomination of the banknote is displayed on device 32. The user can accept or reject the banknote using buttons 33 and 34, and retrieve images of previously accepted banknotes with button 35.
