A document handling system is adapted to accommodate a plurality of different currency types. The system includes a sensor for counting the number of bills in a stack of bills. An operator interface panel includes a display for displaying information to an operator. An input device specifies the type of currency and the denomination of currency to be processed. The system may further include an authenticating unit for authenticating each of the bills based on one or more attributes detected from each bill. Based on the designated currency type and denomination, the system appropriately adjusts the display and/or selects which attributes are used to authenticate bills.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system for counting documents, such as currency from a plurality of different currency systems.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system for authenticating currency from a plurality of different currency systems.
In accordance with yet another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system for counting and authenticating currency from a plurality of different currency systems.
In accordance with still yet another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system that automatically determines appropriate operating parameters corresponding to a designated type of currency system and denomination.
In accordance with a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system that allows an operator to customize the system operating parameters so that the system can process currency from a plurality of different currency systems.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system that can be easily changed from accommodating one currency type to another, for example, by simply using one or more keys or pushbuttons.
For example, depressing one or more keys or pushbuttons may permit scrolling through and selecting from among a plurality of different currency systems that can be processed.
In accordance with yet another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system that can automatically learn the characteristics of authentic currency from a plurality of different currency systems.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system that allows the parameters corresponding to a plurality of different currency systems to be easily changed and/or adjusted.
In accordance with a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system that allows a programmed set of operating parameters to be quickly and easily transferred from one system to another
