1. A packaging system for packaging a stack of sheet objects that have an attributable monetary value in a container, comprising:
- (i) a packaging device, comprising;
means for determining first value data relating to a sheet object to be stacked in the container andan RF reader/writer for writing said first value data to an RFID device;
(ii) at least one container configured to be filled with a stack of sheet objects by the packaging device;
(iii) a reusable RFID device disposable within the container;
(iv) a non-reusable closure member for providing a one-time seal for the container to confine the stack of sheet objects and the RFID device; and
(v) an unpacking device for removing sheet objects from the container and determining second value data relating to sheet objects removed from the container.

11. A method of transporting sheet objects that have an attributable monetary value, the method comprising:
-
determining first value data relating to a stack of sheet objects packaged in a container; writing said first value data to an RFID device associated with the container; storing said first value data in a first database; sealing the container with a non-reusable permanent closure member to securely confine the stack of sheet objects packed in the container and the RFID device; unpacking the stack of sheet objects from the container; determining second value data relating to the stack of sheet objects; reading the first value data from the RFID device; removing the RFID device from the container for re-use; and storing said first value data and said second value data in a second database. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

21. A method of transporting sheet objects that have an attributable monetary value, the method comprising:
-
determining first value data relating to a stack of sheet objects packaged in a container; reading identification information from a reusable RFID device associated with the container; storing said identification information in a first database in association with said first value data; sealing the RFID device inside the container with a non-reusable permanent closure member to provide a one-time seal to securely confine the RFID and the sheet objects until a new opening is broken into the container; sensing the RFID device within a predetermined locality; reading the identification information stored on the RFID device; storing tracking information on the first database in association with the identification information; unpacking the stack of sheet objects from the container; determining second value data relating to the stack of sheet objects; reading the identification information from the RFID device; retrieving first value data associated with the identification information read from the RFID device from the first database; and storing said first value data and said second value data in a second database in association with the identification information read from the RFID device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
