Abstract
A method is provided for counting cut sheets such as bank notes. A loose bundle of cut sheets is supported in a predetermined posture, and the cut sheets of the supported bundle are successively fed obliquely relative to an edge of each remaining cut sheet of the supported bundle. Passage of a corner of each successively fed cut sheet across a predetermined position is detected, and the resulting detection signal is processed to provide a count of each successively fed cut sheet.
