Does any1 know how ATM (automated teller machine) count the notes ? What sensors does ATM use ? Any1 have any ideas ? Can provide any block diagram of it ? Thanks in advance.
ATM's use LVDT(Linear variable differential transformer) for sensing the bills. They measure the thickness of the bill and detect if 2 or more bills stick together etc.

They have a little man inside them, he does all the counting & giving out of money.
If he does not like the look of you on his monitor he will keep your card & not let you have any money.
