Abstract
A banknote handling apparatusincludes: a taking-in unitwhich takes banknotes in one by one; a transport unitwhich transports each banknote from the taking-in unit; a recognition sensorwhich obtains information related to the fitness of the banknote transported by the transport unit; and a memory unitwhich stores a threshold value for an unfit note factor for determining the fitness of a banknote. A control unitof apparatusdetermines the fitness of the banknote by comparing the threshold value and a detected value of the unfit note factor based on the information obtained by the recognition sensor, and counts the number of times the unfit note factor has been used to determine the banknote as an unfit note. An output unitoutputs the unfit note factor and the number of times of reason.
