Abstract

See full text

A linear array of photoemitters and photodiodes are positioned on opposite sides of currency paper for denomination and verification determination under transmitted light. The photoemitters are arranged for projecting an image of the indicia printed on the security thread embedded within the currency paper. The photodiodes receive the image and connect with a processor circuit which determines the presence or absence of the security feature, reads the denomination indicia and correspondingly provides indication thereof. The processor contains stored information identifying currency denomination and a comparison is made at the time of verification to also determine the denomination of the proffered currency.
