BANK NOTE DISCRIMINATING APPARATUS AND BANK NOTE DRAWING MEANS DETECTING METHOD

摘要

A rotary body (40) which is provided with a slit aligned with a transfer passage (3) in an initial position, and is fixed rotatably, a driving unit (70) for rotating the rotary body (40), and a discrimination control circuit (50) adapted to judge that a bank note is a real or counterfeit one on the basis of the output from discriminating sensors (34, 35), and control the rotary body driving unit (70), are provided in a bank note discriminating apparatus. The discrimination control circuit (50) is adapted to turn the rotary body (40) by the rotary body driving unit (70) after a bank note has passed through the slit (41) of the rotary body (40), wind a drawing means connected to the bank note around the outer periphery of the rotary body (40), measure the rotational speed of the rotary body (40) and detect a false bank note drawing means.
