An object of the present invention is to prevent rejection of a subsequent paper sheet even if counting of paper sheets is accelerated. Provided is a paper sheet handling system including a paper sheet identification device that identifies paper sheets, and a paper sheet counting device that counts the paper sheets identified by the paper sheet identification device. The paper sheet handling system generates previous process data including read specific codes in the order of fed paper sheets, and memorizes therein the feed-out number K of paper sheets that have been already fed at the point in time when a specific code of one paper sheet is read. A batch quantity N is an integer larger than the feed-out number K. Every time the specific code is read, the specific code is matched with the previous process data, to specify the Zth paper sheet from the paper sheet with the matched specific code as a batch expected paper sheet. Specific codes from the batch expected paper sheet to the paper sheet K before thereof are extracted from the previous process data. When it is judged that any of the specific codes from the batch expected paper sheet to the paper sheet K before thereof matches with the read specific code, an operation of a second feeding unit is stopped.

Optical sensing device for detecting optical features of valuable papers
An optical sensing device for detecting plural optical features of valuable papers is provided that comprises first and second photocoupers 5 and 6 or 9 and 10 positioned in the vicinity of and on the opposite sides of a passageway 13 for guiding the valuable paper 64. Each of first and second photocouplers 5 and 6 or 9 and 10 has a light emitting element 20, 22, 30, 32 for emitting a light, and a light receiving element 21, 23, 31, 33 for selectively receiving the light from the light emitting element 20 so that each light receiving element 21, 23, 31, 33 can receive lights reflected on and penetrating the valuable paper 64 for detection of multiple optical features from the valuable paper 64. Thus, the optical sensing device can derive plural optical scanning patterns by means of less number of light emitting and receiving elements to improve accuracy in valuable paper validation; can pick out optical patterns for different colors printed on valuable paper by means of plural lights of different wavelength irradiated on a same scan line or area on valuable paper; and can utilize inexpensive light emitting and receiving elements to reduce cost for manufacture.
Disclosed is a coin change which comprises a coin sort section 50 for sorting coins C discharged from an input hopper 21, and a coin storage section 60 for storing the coins C sorted by the coin sort section 50 on a coin type by type basis. The coin storage section 60 includes a plurality of coin storage grooves 63 provided respectively to the plural coin types and disposed parallel to each other. Each of the coin storage grooves has a width dimension slightly greater than the diameter of a corresponding one of the types of coins and extends approximately horizontally. The coin storage section 60 also includes a stacking belt 65 disposed along the base of each of the coin storage grooves to extend in the longitudinal direction of the coin storage grooves, and a stopper member disposed at the downstream end of each of the coin storage grooves and adapted to be moved between a coin-passing-enabling position of allowing one or more of the coins C to pass therethrough and a stack position preventing the passing of the coins C so as to allow the subsequent coins C to be stacked on each other
