Patent ID: 8818071

Claim:
A banknote recognition and counting machine, comprising: a reception unit configured to take a banknote, that is put therein, into the banknote recognition and counting machine; a stacking unit configured to stack therein the banknote; a reject unit configured to stack therein the banknote; a transport unit configured to selectively transport the banknote taken in by the reception unit, to the stacking unit or the reject unit; a recognition and counting unit provided to the transport unit and configured to recognize and count the banknote taken in by the reception unit; a control unit configured to receive a recognition result on each banknote sent from the recognition and counting unit, judge each banknote, based on the recognition result, and control the transport unit to feed each banknote judged to be true to the stacking unit, and feed each banknote not judged to be true to the reject unit, any one of a first judgment threshold value and a second judgment threshold value being used by the control unit upon performing judgment for the banknote, and the control unit serving to first perform judgment for the banknote by the first judgment threshold value, and then perform judgment by the second threshold value for the banknote fed to the reject unit after the judgment performed by the first judgment threshold value, and thereafter output information concerning the total sum of a count result on the banknote judged to be true upon the judgment performed by the first judgment threshold value and another count result on the banknote judged to be true upon the judgment performed by the second judgment threshold value, wherein the control unit serves to output information concerning the total sum of the count result, and information indicating which of the first or the second judgment threshold value is used, in each of the count result, upon performing the judgment for the banknote.
