A sheet storage apparatus (for example, banknote handling machine includes: a holding unit (for example, each holding member) configured to hold a storage bag in a state where an opening portion of a banknote storage bag is opened or in a state where the opening portion of the banknote storage bag is sealed; a regulation unit configured to selectively regulate access to the banknote storage bag held by the holding unit; and a control unit configured to control the regulation unit so as to allow access to the banknote storage bag held by the holding unit in a state where the opening portion of the banknote storage bag is opened when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

A money handling apparatus (for example, a banknote handling apparatus 1) includes a destination selector 52 configured to select a storage unit where at least one of a counterfeit money and suspect money among the money transported by the transporting unit 12 is to be transported, from the plurality of storage units (for example, each banknote storage unit 18, 19, each storage/feeding unit 20, collecting unit 30, banknote ejecting unit 16, and the like) and a controller 50 configured to control the transporting unit 12 to transport at least one of the counterfeit money and suspect money to the storage unit selected by the destination selector 52 among the plurality of storage units.

A mobile, portable apparatus for authenticating, verification and certification of a security article, the apparatus comprising an enclosure securely housing components of the apparatus; an authentication device operable to authenticate the security article; a power source, preferably of solar type, different type of batteries, uninterruptable power supply, different type of charging facilities and/or any source of energy; an imaging device for simultaneously imaging in opposing and/or multiple directions; a programmable and configurable control panel; an information processing unit; and a printing device for printing and/or special marking on the security article, wherein the imaging device is portably coupled to the authentication device; and wherein the control panel is arranged as an interface command and control center connected to the information processing unit and the other components of the apparatus. The method involves determining whether a registered operator of the portable authentication apparatus is verified; and permitting access to an authentication device of the portable authentication apparatus if the registered operator is verified. The system includes the portable authentication apparatus; and a remote server operable to communicate with the portable authentication apparatus.

Disclosed are a banknote stacking and separation apparatus and a cash recycling and handling device. The banknote stacking and separation apparatus includes a frame provided with a banknote accommodating space. A pickuping roller, a feeding roller and a gate roller are provided in an upper part of the banknote accommodating space, and the feeding roller and the gate roller are oppositely arranged. The banknote stacking and separation apparatus further includes a guiding plate and a guiding plate driving mechanism. The guiding plate is located in the banknote accommodating space and pivoted with the frame, and the guiding plate driving mechanism drives the guiding plate to rotate from a guiding position to a lifting position. The guiding plate shields the pickuping roller when the guiding plate is at the guiding position, and the guiding plate exposes the pickuping roller when the guiding plate is at the lifting position.
