The
object of this invention is to establish an intelligent identification system to
recognize and validate currency based on the uniqueness of their serial numbers.
Video scanning apparatus will be employed in conjunction with optical character
recognition (OCR) software and broadcasting capability so that the ICVN can
recognize the currency value from a digitized serial number, store it with or
without a “tag” by memory means, compare it to a central database of
currency serial numbers and thus determine its legitimacy and past points of
entry in the system.
The system will be constantly updated with new serial numbers (both
legitimate and those flagged as suspect) and is expandable and adaptable to
recognize all country currency and even bank and personal checks. |
