It uses a mechanical sifter to lift the notes (with a rubber lifter) and push it forward. This lifting and pushing forward disrupt a light beam. When ever the beam is disrupted, the counter is incremented by one.
So, it uses a fast repetitive motion to lift the notes, and push them forward, and the light beam disruption sensor keeps a count of the number of times the disruption occurred, yielding the total number of notes counted.
