ABSTRACT:
The processing apparatus for discriminating bank notes has an insert sensor for detecting the insertion of a bank note, line sensors for sampling the pattern and so forth of the bank note, and a sensor memory in which sampling data collected by means of the line sensors is stored for each line. The insert sensor is provided only at the entrance side of the apparatus. If a bank note is conveyed on one side of the line sensor, the data sampling is started when the insert sensor detects the passage of the bank note; if a bank note is conveyed on the other side of the line sensor, the data sampling is started before the bank note is moved. The pattern image data is generated from the sampling data read out from the sensor memory and a bank note is discriminated by comparing the pattern image with a reference pattern. By making the collected pattern image data the same when the bank note is moved forward and when it is moved backward, the reference pattern data is made common, thereby decreasing the required memory capacity.
