Method for the further processing of documents of value that have been stacked using a document-of-value processing device to form stacks of documents of value and have been bundled together with an envelope material to form a bundle (B1-B4), comprising the following steps: - the document-of-value processing device determining the visible serial number (S1-S4) of the respective bundle (B1-B4), - transmitting the visible serial number (S1-S4) of the respective bundle from the document-of-value processing device to a controller, - the controller determining a machine-readable identification (8, 8') for the respective bundle, - the controller generating linking information indicating the visible serial number (S1-S4) with which the respective machine-readable identification (8, 8') is linked, - transmitting the machine-readable identification from the controller to a labeller that is configured to label the respective bundle bundled together with the envelope material to form a bundle (B1-B4), - creating a label for the respective bundle by way of the labeller, wherein the machine-readable identification (8, 8') transmitted by the controller is applied to the respective label, - transporting the respective bundle (B1-B4) output from the document-of-value processing device and bundled together with the envelope material to form a bundle (B1-B4) to the labeller using a transport apparatus in order to label the respective bundle with the label created for the respective bundle, - a monitoring apparatus recording the respective bundle (B1-B4), the monitoring apparatus having at least one camera by way of which it captures an image of the respective bundle, said image depicting the visible serial number (S1-S4) of the respective bundle and where applicable also the label of the respective bundle, - checking the respective bundle, wherein, when checking the respective bundle - the actual visible serial number of the respective bundle (B1-B4) is extracted from the image captured by the monitoring apparatus, - the visible serial number (S1-S4) that belongs to the machine-readable identification (8, 8') of that label that was created for the respective bundle (B1-B4) is determined, and - the actual visible serial number (S1-S4) of the respective bundle is compared with the visible serial number belonging to the machine-readable identification (8, 8') of the respective label, wherein, depending on whether or not the check of the respective bundle reveals that the actual visible serial number (S1-S4) of the respective bundle matches the visible serial number belonging to the machine-readable identification (8, 8') of the respective label, the respective bundle continues to be further processed in the event of a match, or the respective bundle stops being further processed in the event of absence of a match. - the document-of-value processing device determining the visible serial number (S1-S4) of the respective bundle (B1-B4), - transmitting the visible serial number (S1-S4) of the respective bundle from the document-of-value processing device to a controller, - the controller determining a machine-readable identification (8, 8') for the respective bundle, - the controller generating linking information indicating the visible serial number (S1-S4) with which the respective machine-readable identification (8, 8') is linked, - transmitting the machine-readable identification from the controller to a labeller that is configured to label the respective bundle bundled together with the envelope material to form a bundle (B1-B4), - creating a label for the respective bundle by way of the labeller, wherein the machine-readable identification (8, 8') transmitted by the controller is applied to the respective label, - transporting the respective bundle (B1-B4) output from the document-of-value processing device and bundled together with the envelope material to form a bundle (B1-B4) to the labeller using a transport apparatus in order to label the respective bundle with the label created for the respective bundle, - a monitoring apparatus recording the respective bundle (B1-B4), the monitoring apparatus having at least one camera by way of which it captures an image of the respective bundle, said image depicting the visible serial number (S1-S4) of the respective bundle and where applicable also the label of the respective bundle, - checking the respective bundle, wherein, when checking the respective bundle - the actual visible serial number of the respective bundle (B1-B4) is extracted from the image captured by the monitoring apparatus, - the visible serial number (S1-S4) that belongs to the machine-readable identification (8, 8') of that label that was created for the respective bundle (B1-B4) is determined, and - the actual visible serial number (S1-S4) of the respective bundle is compared with the visible serial number belonging to the machine-readable identification (8, 8') of the respective label, - the actual visible serial number of the respective bundle (B1-B4) is extracted from the image captured by the monitoring apparatus, - the visible serial number (S1-S4) that belongs to the machine-readable identification (8, 8') of that label that was created for the respective bundle (B1-B4) is determined, and - the actual visible serial number (S1-S4) of the respective bundle is compared with the visible serial number belonging to the machine-readable identification (8, 8') of the respective label,
