Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for accepting and outputting documents of value, in particular banknotes.
  • leaf-shaped objects that represent, for example, a monetary value or an authorization and therefore should not be arbitrarily produced by unauthorized persons. They therefore have features which are not easy to manufacture, in particular to be copied, whose presence is an indication of the authenticity, i. the manufacture by an authorized agency.
  • Important examples of such value documents are chip cards, coupons, checks, vouchers and in particular banknotes.
  • Devices of the above type can be used to pay bills, for example in stores.
  • the automated handling of used banknotes, especially those in bad condition, may in such devices lead to malfunctions that have to be eliminated manually by a service person.
  • the elimination of such interference may require a considerable amount of time depending on the structure of the device. This has the disadvantage that the device can not be used for payments in the period until the fault is eliminated.
  • the maintenance person can manage only a few such devices, which increases the total cost of ownership.
  • the banknote sorting apparatus consists of at least three parts, with a centrally located part and at least two parts removable therefrom, which provides easy access to the banknotes Transport system is achieved.

  • the value of a banknote is determined, so that the nominal value of the deposited banknote is known.
  • the determined face value of a banknote is preferably stored in a control unit, so that for each storage unit the order of the deposited banknotes with respect to their face value is known.
  • a separate cassette does not have to be provided for each denomination in the banknote system according to the invention.

Further, in the cash dispenser, a control unit which determines the required number of deduction steps in accordance with a predetermined amount of money, and a check means are provided for detecting the number of bills withdrawn in a deduction step. If too many banknotes are withdrawn from the take-off device of the storage location in a withdrawal step, the test device detects the number of overdrawn banknotes and the control unit reduces accordingly the number of further deduction steps.
