Abstract

Apparatus and methods for identifying a note that has been destroyed or dispensed. The apparatus and methods determine and record the image of the note just prior to or as the note is being engaged by shredding tines or a note feeder. The apparatus can be used in conjunction with an OCR system such that the serial code of each note destroyed or dispensed is determined automatically by the OCR system.
