A DEVICE FOR PROCESSING SHEET OBJECTS SUCH AS BANKNOTES

摘要

A device for processing sheet objects comprises a tamper proof housing (55) that contains an opening device (60) operable to receive a container (4) containing sheet objects such as banknotes from outside the housing and to open the container within the housing, and a counting device (68) to count sheet objects from the opened container within the housing and produce a count signal corresponding to the number of sheet objects counted. The count signal can be checked against reference data received (29) from another location or derived from data carried in the container (4) on a RFID tag (21).
