Paper currency receiving apparatus with fraud prevention

摘要

A paper currency receiving apparatus includes a body with a bill-receiving opening in a front end thereof, a detecting device mounted in the body and defining a bill passage through which a bill inserted into the bill-receiving opening passes, and a bill-collecting box for receiving the bill. The genuineness of the bill is discriminated by the detecting device. In a case that a fraud operation is attempted by bonding an end of a string to a side of the bill and inserting the bill into the bill-receiving opening, the string is severed by one of a plurality of cutting edges on the detecting device.
