Bill discriminating apparatus

摘要

A bill discriminating apparatus includes a light source for projecting a stimulating light onto a surface of a bill, a photomultiplier for photoelectrically detecting light emitted from the surface of the bill in response to the irradiation with the stimulating light and producing detected data corresponding to an amount of the detected light, a ROM for storing reference data, and a CPU for comparing the detected data produced by the photomultiplier and the reference data stored in the ROM and discriminating the bill.
