1. A system for evaluating currency in areas using image processing, comprising:
a non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions; and
a processor that executes the instructions to:
receive one or more images of an area from an image sensor positioned at least one meter above said area, said one or more images depicting at least a portion of one or more items of currency, the one or more images captured responsive to a preestablished gesture by a person proximate to the one or more items of currency;
process the one or more images to identify one or more items of currency in the area;
determine whether any of the one or more items of currency have an error condition;
when any of the one or more items of currency is determined to have the error condition, provide an output on the error in substantially real-time and transmit said output on the error condition to an electronic device having a display, said electronic device separate and distinct from said image sensor and positioned proximate to the one or more items of currency such that a person monitoring the electronic device may immediately correct or address the error condition with the one or more items of currency as transmitted to the electronic device; and
maintain a running count of the total value of currency imaged within said areas by determining denominations of each of said one or more items of currency by evaluating a position of a security strip on each of said one or more items of currency and/or a glow color associated with said security strip on each of said one or more items of currency when subjected to ultraviolet light.
