A control unit transmits an initial value of a position ID to a cassette control unit at a top in a daisy chain by a serial line. Having received the position ID from the control unit or the cassette control unit of a previous stage in the daisy chain, the cassette control unit recognizes it as a position ID of its own cassette. Where there is a following cassette control unit in the daisy chain, the cassette control unit calculates a position ID of the following cassette control unit to transmit to the following cassette control unit.

A banknote handling system includes: first and second banknote handling apparatuses, each comprising: a hopper configured to receive banknotes, a transport path along which the banknotes received in the hopper are transported, a recognition unit configured to acquire a denomination and a serial number of each banknote transported along the transport path, and a control unit programmed to generate information including the denominations and the serial numbers of the banknotes acquired by the recognition unit; and a determination unit programmed to: receive the information and determine whether or not a total monetary amount of the banknotes processed by the second banknote handling apparatus matches a total monetary amount of the banknotes processed by the first banknote handling apparatus.

Described herein is a method, product and system for tracking currency transfer, said method comprising use of a currency security bag containing currency and a series of steps to securely monitor information corresponding to the security bag. The security bag allows for a user to track the currency from a point of deposit until reaching a destination.

A banknote handling system includes a controller that performs a matching process of matching of a second code of a banknote to be subjected to matching read by a recognition circuit with a first code stored in a memory, and the controller determines that the first code matches with the second code if all symbols of specific digits of the first code match with those of the second code and if the number of digits for which symbols mismatch other than the specific digits is a predetermined number or less, and determines that the first code mismatches with the second code if symbols of the specific digits of the first code mismatch with those of the second code or if the number of digits for which symbols mismatch other than the specific digits exceed the predetermined number.

A system includes a cassette structured to manage a plurality of bills, a first sensor structured to provide denomination information, a bill storage component, and a picker system structured to traverse the bill storage component. The system also includes memory having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to determine the denomination of the plurality of bills, generate a bill list, receive a transaction request indicating a specific denomination for dispensing, identify a storage position of a target bill from the bill list, and cause the picker system to traverse the bill storage component to the storage position of the target bill to retrieve the target bill for dispensing.

A method, system, and computer program product for analyzing images of visual objects, such as currency and/or payment cards, captured on a mobile device. The analysis allows determining the authenticity and/or total amount of value of the currency and/or payment cards. The system may be used to verify the authenticity of hard currency, to count the total amount of the currency captured in one or more images, and to convert the currency using real time monetary exchange rates. The mobile device may be used to verify the identity of a credit card user by analyzing one or more images of the card holder's face and/or card holder's signature, card holder's name on the card, card number, and/or card security code.

The operation of one or more cash handling devices may be remotely modified by updating locally stored cash dispensing data at each of the one or more cash handling devices based at least in part on optimization data generated at a monitoring server. Operational data is received from the one or more cash handling devices and utilized to generate historical data within a historical database. Optimization parameters are received for each of one or more cash handling devices, and the optimization parameters are utilized together with the generated historical data to generate optimization data utilizing one or more optimization models. The optimization data is transmitted to applicable cash handling devices to cause the cash handling device to update locally stored executing instructions causing operation of the cash handling device to dispense cash into one or more register tills.
