Abstract

A bill-discriminating apparatus which is used, for example, in an automatic deposit machine and which discriminates a bill by comparing patterns read from the bill with standard patterns. The apparatus includes a circuit for reading patterns from a conveyed bill, one or more sensors for determining the conveyance condition of the bill, a circuit for generating standard patterns corresponding to the conveyance condition of the bill and/or to the kind of bill, and a circuit for comparing the patterns, read from the bill by the circuit for reading patterns, with the standard patterns, thereby discriminating the truth of falsity of the bill and/or the kind of bill.
