Abstract
A method in which accounting units consisting of one or several bank notes are successively processed by a processing machine, wherein the bank notes are checked by a sensor device and a control device. One or several accounting units are inserted, the information items characterizing the accounting units are entered, the bank notes of each accounting unit are singled, checked, and in dependence on the check are assigned to output units of the processing machine The bank notes recognized upon the check are accounted for the respective accounting unit by the control device and transported into the assigned output unit. Bank notes not recognized upon the check are divided into two groups with a first group containing the unrecognized individual bank notes for which an identification feature characterizing the respective bank note can be ascertained by sensor device and control device, and a second group whose respective identification feature cannot be ascertained by the sensor device and control device.
