Abstract

Described is a method for processing value documents which have an individual identifier, for example a serial number, in which for the value documents the individual identifier is respectively captured and from at least a part of the value documents a stack is formed, wherein for the stack the individual identifiers of the value documents of the stack are stored as belonging to a stack, for the stack there are captured usage data with the help of which the usage of the stack is identifiable and identifier data describing the individual identifier of at least one value document of the stack, and using the identifier data, the usage data and the individual identifiers of the value documents of the stack, which were stored as belonging to a stack, are stored so as to be associated with each other.
