Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a device ( 10 ) for handling notes of value, comprising an input unit ( 20 ) for input of at least one note of value, and a transport unit ( 24, 26, 248, 302, 304 ) for transport of the note of value into a transport direction (P 1 ) along a transport path ( 218 ). A control unit ( 28 ) determines the note of value type of the note of value dependent on an image comprising a representation of the input note of value that is captured by means of an image detection unit ( 306 ), and dependent on the note of value type determined controls at least one processing unit ( 400, 600 ) for further processing the note of value that is located downstream the image detection unit ( 306 ).
