PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive paper money discriminating device which can surely detect the presence/absence of a transparent tape. SOLUTION: By providing this device with a heating roller 41, a paper money 1 is heated to the temperature, which is higher than the melting temperature of the transparent tape but does not deteriorate the paper money 1, simultaneously with the conveyance of the paper money 1 to the step part of a conveyer path 3, which is composed of an upper guide plate 31 and a lower guide plate 32, for the paper money 1 forward rather than a tape detection sensor 7. The surface of a transparent tape 2 stuck on the paper money is heated and melted by this heating roller 41, the surface of the transparent tape 2 is made smooth, regular reflection on the surface is strengthened, and the presence/absence of the transparent tape is surely detected. In this case, the heating means for the paper money is not limited to the heating roller 41. |
