The present invention recognizes denomination and transporting direction of each bill to be deposited when the bill is deposited, selectively drives two light sources with different emission colors based on the recognized information on the denomination and direction of the bill, and scans and reads the portion where the serial number of the bill being transported is printed by means of an image sensor, so that the serial number of this bill is read while selectively changing the emission color of the light source according to the denomination of the bill. Even if the character color or background color of the serial number differs depending on the denomination, the serial number can be accurately recognized without providing many light sources with different emission colors.

Bill serial number reading device and bill serial number reading method

Providing a UV/fluorescence detecting apparatus and a sensing method thereof which is capable of detecting a fluorescent pattern and an ultraviolet reflection light and small and cheap. Further, providing a UV/fluorescence detecting apparatus and a sensing method thereof capable of detecting a fluorescence of a specific color. The UV/fluorescence detecting apparatus includes a sensor comprising a light source portion including an ultraviolet ray LED for emitting ultraviolet ray through an opening window portion and an ultraviolet ray monitor provided beside this ultraviolet ray LED, a light detector portion disposed in a chamber partitioned with a partition plate for receiving an incident light impinging through the opening window portion, the partition plate for partitioning between the light source portion and the light detector portion; a transparent body provided on the both opening window portions, a first filter provided on a window portion on projection side of the ultraviolet ray for allowing the light of an ultraviolet ray region thereof to pass through and a second filter provided on a window portion on light receiving side of the incident light for allowing the light of a visible light region thereof to pass through.
