Claim:
1. A system configured to process one or more of a plurality of sheets of sheet material in a deposit, the system comprising: a sheet-accepting device configured to receive one or more sheet of the plurality of sheets; one or more sensors configured to detect characteristic information about the one or more sheet, the characteristic information indicating whether the one or more sheet is anomalous; an encoding device comprising a memory and configured to encode the one or more sheet based on the characteristic information detected by the one or more sensors, the encoding device configured to encode the one or more sheet when the characteristic information indicates that the one or more sheet is anomalous with anomaly information identifying a reason for indicating that the one or more sheet is anomalous, the encoding device further configured to encode the one or more sheet with one or more of: a container configured to receive the encoded one or more sheet therein for further processing when the characteristic information indicates that the one or more sheet is anomalous, wherein the characteristic information detected by the one or more sensors includes a serial number of each of the one or more sheet, wherein, when the characteristic information indicates that the one or more sheet is anomalous, the encoding device is further configured to store the serial number of each of the one or more sheet in the memory, wherein the encoding device is configured to encode the one or more sheet with the anomaly information by storing, for each sheet of the one or more sheet, the anomaly information of the sheet in the memory in association with the serial number of the sheet, wherein the encoding device is configured to encode the one or more sheet with the accounting information about the one or more sheet by storing, for each sheet of the one or more sheet, the accounting information about the sheet in the memory in association with the serial number of the sheet, and wherein the encoding device is configured to encode the one or more sheet with the deposit information about the one or more sheet by storing, for each sheet of the one or more sheet, the deposit information about the sheet in the memory in association with the serial number of the sheet, wherein encoding the one or more sheet with the anomaly information and the one or more of the accounting information and the deposit information comprises creating, for each of the one or more sheet, a marking on a sheet, the marking linking to the anomaly information and the one or more of the accounting information and the deposit information stored in the memory, and wherein the encoding device is configured to not encode a particular sheet of the plurality of sheets when the characteristic information indicates that the particular sheet is not anomalous.
