I couldn't disagree more. Being the money is being scanned in real time, not a picture being processed, all one needs to do is hold the bill about 6 inches away from the screen and slowly move it around the screen until they get a result. Pure common sense would tell me the camera would be near the top of the screen somewhere not far from center. Since most use computers sitting directly in front of the monitor not off to one side or another.
So to sum it up, hold the bill about 6 inches from the screen, near the top, and near the center. Then slowly move the bill from left to right and back again until you get a result. Keep in mind to be in good lighting.
