Abstract
There is described a method for processing stacks of sheets (SS) into bundles (5) of securities, in particular banknote bundles, the method comprising the steps of cutting successive stacks of sheets (SS), each carrying an array of multiple security prints arranged in a matrix of rows and columns, into successive sets of bundle strips (S; S*), and cutting the successive set of bundle strips (S; S*) into successive sets (2) of consecutive bundles (5) of securities. This method further comprises the step of counting the number of substrates within each bundle strip (S; S*) prior to cutting thereof into the successive sets (2) of consecutive bundles (5). Such counting comprises taking at least one image (I) of a at least a portion of a longitudinal side (10) of the bundle strip (S; S*) while the bundle strip (S; S*) is being displaced along a direction of displacement (A) which is parallel to the longitudinal side (10) of the bundle strips (S; S*), and processing the said at least one image (I) to derive a substrate count of the substrates within the bundle strip (S; S*). Also described in a system for carrying out this method.
