Abstract (en)

A bill validator having a funnel-like shaped first light-guide disposed between a bill pathway and a plurality of light sources is disclosed. The validator can validate bills with a high accuracy, and a higher resolution ability by condensing light emitted from a plurality of light sources and narrowing a specific measuring point on the bill surface where transmittance and reflectance of the bill are measured. <IMAGE>
