Abstract (en)

Banknotes (2) are classified by determining their spectral characteristics in respective areas using diffusely-reflected light from the banknote and/or light transmitted through the banknote. In addition, the surface condition of the banknote (2) is detected by using specularly-reflected light. Preferably, the same transmitter (4) is used to generate the light which is diffusely-reflected and specularly-reflected. <IMAGE>
