Abstract (en)

Barcoding is a mature and widely used technology in recognition systems with different applications, including identification of merchandise. The present invention proposes to apply barcoding to bank-notes and this, coupled with the necessary technologies in counterfeit detection, should make bank-note recognition easier and more reliable. The invention propose the use of such bank-notes with suitably adapted bank-note processing machines, including vending machines, cash registers, bank-note counters, bank-note sorters and deposit machines and the like. This is expected to provide a less costly but still reliable means of automatically checking denominations of bank-notes and the detection of counterfeit bank-notes. <IMAGE>
