METHOD FOR PROCESSING BANKNOTES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for processing banknotes, in which serial numbers of the banknotes to be processed are determined and compared with stored serial numbers in order to control the processing of the banknotes. The method comprises the following steps: determining a plurality of classes, each of which characterises at least one property of banknotes, assigning at least one of the classes to one or more serial numbers in order to assign at least one property to the banknote provided with the particular serial number, storing the particular serial number and the associated class or classes, and controlling the processing of the banknotes by means of the stored classes assigned to the particular serial numbers.
