Kind Code:

Abstract:
A bank note checking apparatus which is used, for example, in an automatic deposit machine and which checks a bank note by comparing patterns read from the bank note (1) with reference patterns includes means (P1) for reading patterns from a conveyed bill and one or more sensors (T1, T2, W1, W2) for determining the physical condition of the bank note (1) during conveyance. The apparatus also includes means for generating an appropriate reference pattern from stored standard patterns (9) in accordance with the sensed physical condition of the bank note (1) and means (11) for comparing the patterns read from the bank note (1) by the means (P1) for reading patterns with the generated reference pattern, thereby determining the validity and/or denomination of the bank note (1). Typically the sensors (T1, T2, W1, W2) monitor the size of the bank note (1) and its orientation with respect to the means (P1) for reading the patterns so that the size and any tilt or transverse displacement of the bank note (1) is taken account of in the generation of the reference pattern.
