A currency counting and discrimination device for receiving a stack of currency bills, rapidly counting and discriminating the bills in the stack, and then re-stacking the bills. The device comprises an input receptacle for receiving a stack of currency bills to be discriminated, a denomination-discriminating unit for discriminating the denomination of the currency bills, an output receptacle for receiving the currency bills after being discriminated by the discriminating unit, and a transport mechanism for transporting the currency bills, one at a time, from the input receptacle past the discriminating unit and to the output receptacle. The transport mechanism comprises means for stripping the lowermost bill from a stack of bills in the input receptacle, first and second driven transport rolls on opposite sides of the discriminating unit for transporting each bill past the discriminating unit, and to the output receptacle along a transport path. In a preferred embodiment, a stripping wheel is rotatably mounted about an axis, the stripping wheel having a high-friction surface or a raised surface along only a portion of its circumference such that during rotation of the stripping wheel that portion intermittently engages the lowermost bill of the stack of bills. Means are provided for ensuring that when the stripping wheel is stopped, that high- friction and/or raised surface portion of its circumference is not engaging the lowermost bill.
