Abstract

An adjustable bill-discrimination system which detects at least one of physical quantities of a bill and compares the detected data of the bill with a predetermined discrimination level to determine whether a bill is damaged or not, wherein a detection means detects at least one of physical quantities of a damaged bill selected by an operator. The detected physical quantities are stored in a memory means, and the data stored in the memory means are used as a level in accordance with which it is determined whether a bill is damaged or not; in other words, to discriminate damaged bills from clean ones. Preferably, the memory means is a reloadable memory means whereby data written to the reloadable memory means can be replaced by fresh data when an operator wishes.
