ABSTRACT:
An image detector for bank notes is provided which can be made at low cost and in small size. The image detector comprises a pair of detector units13includes a first image detection sensor24which detects an image of a first detection area mounted on one side of a detector unit18, a first light emitting device27which irradiates light towards the first detection area, and a second light emitting device31which irradiates light towards a second detection area mounted on one side of the unit main body18but in a different location from the first detection area, a pair of detector units is disposed so as to oppose one another across a bank note transportation path12, in a manner which enables the image detection sensor24of one of the detection units13to detect an image of the second detection area of the other of the detection units13.
