The invention relates to a system and method for processing value units,
such as bank notes, coins or checks. A system and method for processing
deposits of value units are provided by which bank notes of the deposit
are checked successively in two bank note processing machines, and the
data of both the first and second checking operations are supplied to an
evaluation device in order to perform an evaluation of the deposit on the
basis of both the first and second checking operations. This two-stage
processing provides the possibility of carrying out the processing of
deposits in cash centers considerably more efficiently than with hitherto
used methods.
