Abstract
Uninspected bundles of paper sheets are supplied to each of a plurality of pre-processors in units of bundles. Each pre-processor removes a band from the uninspected bundle, prints a serial number in association with the received paper sheets on the band, and holds the band. A number of reusable paper sheets from which the band is removed are counted by and stored in a corresponding inspection device. Each inspection device stores the serial number printed on the band by the preprocessor. In each inspection device, the paper sheets to be re-inspected are sorted by a separator card in units of bundles and stored as rejectable notes in a rejectable note cassette. A center console receives data such as a count result, band number, cassette number, card number, and the like, from each inspection device, and sequentially stores these data in units of inspection devices. When rejectable notes in units of bundles taken out from the cassette are inserted, a rejectable note processor fetches data such as the count result, band number, cassette number, card number, and the like from the center console, and performs discrimination of authenticity, detection of denominations, and counting and collation processing of the received rejectable notes.
