Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a system and method for the secure transfer of banknotes and more specifically to systems and methods employing an ink box to deface the banknotes if security is breached.
  • banknotes are generally performed using security bags (or envelopes) that include a tamper proof seal. This allows the shipper to seal a specific number or type of banknotes in each bag and the receiver can verify that they arrive as shipped. Typically multiple smaller bags may be sealed in a larger bag to assure that a group of bags arrive untouched. The receiver can then easily use the banknotes without having to resort them and/or recount them. Generally such bags are made from materials that protect the banknotes and prevent liquids from reaching them.
  • CIT cash in transit
  • ink boxes also known as CIT boxes
  • CIT boxes have been developed to discourage theft of cash in transit.
  • One common method uses ink boxes that release an indelible ink onto the banknotes in the box if the box it tampered with.
  • a CIT system may contain multiple drawers each one serving as an ink box. The drawers are positioned into the CIT system and the system is locked and armed. If an attempt is made to obtain unauthorized access to the banknotes the inking system is triggered and the contents of the boxes are defaced.
  • One way of increasing the inking ability is by using security bags made from a mesh material to allow the ink to reach the banknotes through the holes of the mesh material.
  • a mesh material bag One problem with the use of a mesh material bag is that the mesh material is not suitable for printing on (e.g. a barcode or a warning message) and for forming a tamper proof seal. Therefore one side of the security bag is made from standard bag material such as polyethylene and the other side is made from the mesh material. However the non mesh side serves as a barrier and inhibits spreading of the ink and defacing close to 100% of the banknotes.
  • Document EP1475310 discloses a packing system to securely transport banknotes, the said packages being made of a plastic material and having perforation on their widest surfaces, the said perforations used to let a dying material to pass through them into the packages and irreversibly damage the banknotes within.
  • Document EP1878672 discloses envelopes for transporting banknotes that contain a line from where the bag opens when there is a deflagration, a staining material passing through it to the banknotes in order to devalidate them when tampering has been detected.
  • Document GB2468527 discloses a devalidating mechanism using sealable bags that are reusable.
  • the bags comprise the canister with the degrading agent, so the container only comprises the activating mechanism to break that canister and devalidate the banknotes contained in the bag.
  • An aspect of an embodiment of the invention relates to a method of transferring banknotes in an ink box system using security bags.
  • the banknotes are initially placed in security bags with tamper proof seals.
  • the security bags have two faces, a first face made of standard bag material (e.g. polyethylene) and a second face made from a mesh material that allows liquids to enter the bag and reach the banknotes.
  • the security bags are designed to allow placing up to a specific number of banknotes in each bag.
  • the width of the security bag is designed so that an extra portion is left over and the extra portion can be folded over with its first face meeting the first face of the rest of the security bag.
  • the first face has perforation in various places along the face of the bag especially in the area of the fold.
  • each of the security bags is placed with the folded portion on the bottom forming an ink collection base.
  • Multiple security bags are placed standing up side by side in an ink box to assure defacement of all the banknotes in case of a security breach.
  • all the security bags are placed with the first face facing a second face of the adjacent bag.
  • the security bags may be placed with the first face facing a first face of an adjacent bag and the second face facing a second face of an adjacent bag.
  • a larger security bag referred to as an over-pack security bag is used to group together multiple security bags to assure that the entire group is not tampered with.
  • the over-pack bag is placed in the ink box with the security bags positioned inside as if they are positioned directly inside the ink box.
  • the over-pack bag is positioned with the mesh material positioned upward facing the ink release system of the ink box.
  • multiple over-pack security bags may be used to group some of the security bags in one group and some in another group.
  • a method of secure transfer of banknotes including:
  • the method further comprises:
  • the side facing the bottom of the box includes perforations like the smaller security bags.
  • the security bags are aligned in the ink box to be positioned such that the first face of one bag is facing the second face of the bag next to it.
  • the security bags are aligned in the ink box to be positioned such that the first face of one bag is facing the first face of the bag next to it and the second face of the bag is facing the second face of the bag next to it.
  • the perforations on the first face of the security bag form a matrix of perforations.
  • the perforations on the first face of the security bag are spread out randomly.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic illustration of a security bag 100 with banknotes 120 deployed therein, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
  • security bags 100 meet specific limitations as described below and will be deployed according to specific rules to achieve a desired level of protection for the banknotes during transfer.
  • the method is applicable to any monetary item that loses it value by being defaced with an indelible ink, so that it can later be replaced without causing serious loss to the owner.
  • the banknotes the banknotes can be considered unusable even if they are not recovered, since the method assures defacing close to 100% of the banknotes. Accordingly, the government can replace banknotes shipped using the method described herein.
  • Security bag 100 includes a tamper proof seal 130, so that the receiver of such a bag is assured that the content was not tampered with during transport.
  • security bag 100 includes a first face 110 from standard bag material, such as polyethylene, paper, or other appropriate material to allow forming tamper proof seal 130 and optionally, printing a barcode or other details on security bag 100.
  • the second face 140 of security bag 100 is made from a mesh material, so that ink can pass through the mesh side of security bag 100 and deface the contents inside.
  • the first face includes perforations 150, for example to allow ink to enter security bag 100 from specific locations on the first face.
  • the perforations 150 form a matrix with a pre-selected distance (x,y) between the perforations 150 along the length (x) and width (y) of the security bag.
  • the perforations 150 may be spread out randomly.
  • the perforations 150 have a diameter of between 1mm to 10 mm. alternatively; the perforations may be larger or smaller.
  • the length of security bag 100 is designed to enable storing up to a specific number of banknotes 120 (e.g. 50 or 100 banknotes), allowing the tamper proof seal 130 to be sealed, and without leaving a significant overhanging portion on the bottom of the bag.
  • the width of security bag 100 is designed to leave an extra portion with at least one row of perforations 150 to be folded over toward the banknotes (first face 110 toward first face 110 to form an ink collection base).
  • the overhanging portion is between 1/6 to 1/3 of the width of security bag 100. Alternatively, the overhanging portion may be larger or smaller.
  • Fig. 2 is a schematic illustration of a cross sectional view of security bags 100 deployed in an ink box 210, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
  • ink box 210 is designed to have a width approximately matching the length of security bag 100, which as explained above is designed to relate to the length of banknotes 120.
  • multiple security bags 100 are placed in a row with the first face 110 of one security bag facing the second face 140 of the succeeding bag.
  • the security bags 100 may be placed loosely next to each other with the folded portion (marked as fold 240) forming a wide collection base extending from the side of the security bags 100.
  • the security bags 100 may be tightly pressed together with the folded portion forming a narrow collection base or even a collection base with the fold almost parallel to the bag.
  • ink box 210 may have crevices on the bottom of ink box 210 to guide the positioning of the security bags 100.
  • ink drops 230 are dropped or ejected from the top the box toward the bottom.
  • a layer of ink 220 is formed on the bottom of the box.
  • the ink drops 230 enter security bag 100 on the second face 140 made from the mesh material while dropping. Additionally, some ink drops 230 enter on the first face 110 through the matrix of perforations 150.
  • the ink collection base formed by fold 240 captures ink falling from the top of ink box 210 causing it to enter into security bag 100 through the at least one row of perforations in the fold as mentioned above.
  • ink from the layer of ink formed on the bottom of ink box 210 also seeps in from the second face 140 through the mesh material.
  • banknotes 120 are defaced at least on the bottom of all the banknotes 120, on the top of some of the banknotes 120 and especially the two banknotes on either side of the pile of notes in security bag 100.
  • the ink gets absorbed by the banknotes 120 due to capillary attraction causing the ink to seep up from the bottom and deface at least between half a centimeter to a centimeter upward along the entire bottom of the banknotes 120.
  • a random positioning for example with security bags one on top of another would leave a portion of the banknotes unmarked.
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic illustration of a perspective view of the first face 110 of a folded security bag 110 for deploying in ink box 210, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention
  • Fig. 4 is a schematic illustration of a perspective view of the second face of a folded security bag 110 for deploying in ink box 210, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
  • multiple security bags 100 are deployed in ink box 210 side by side as shown in Fig. 2 and described above.
  • Fig. 5 is a schematic illustration of an over-pack bag 510 with multiple security bags 100 deployed therein, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
  • over-pack bag 510 is a larger tamper proof security bag but otherwise similar to security bag 100.
  • multiple security bags 100 are placed side by side in the larger over-pack bag 510 and deployed in ink box 210 according to the method described above, so that the entire group of security bags 100 are protected by a tamper proof seal 550 of the over-pack bag 510 for the benefit of the receiver.
  • the first face 530 with the standard bag material is positioned downward and the second face 540 with the mesh material is positioned upward in the ink box 210, so that the ink drops 230 are free to flow downward over the multiple security bags 100 as explained above.
  • Fig. 6 is a flow diagram 600 of a method of arranging security bags 100 with banknotes 120 therein in an ink box 210, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
  • a user whishing to transfer banknotes or other monetary notes loads (610) the banknotes into a collection of security bags 100.
  • each bag may be loaded with a specific number or specific type of banknotes, for example one bag is loaded with 50 banknotes of 100 Euro and one bag with 75 banknotes of 50 Euro.
  • each security bag 100 may be addressed to a different person or different deposit box at the location of the receiver.
  • the number of banknotes loaded in a specific security bag 100 is limited by its size, so that it can be deployed with an extra portion folded over.
  • each bag is folded (620) over (first face 110 toward first face 110) to form an ink collection base at the bottom of the bag when deployed in the ink box 210.
  • the ink collection base has perforations 150 in it so that the ink will seep into the bag.
  • a larger over-pack security bag 510 is used (630) to group multiple security bags 100 together when placing them in ink box 210.
  • security bags 100 are positioned (650) side by side as described above inside over-pack security bag 510.
  • the security bags may be positioned (640) next to each other directly in ink box 210 without being grouped together in a larger bag.
  • the second face 540, of the over-pack security bag 510, with the mesh material is positioned upward, so that the ink drops 230 will be free to enter the over-pack security bag 510.
  • the first face 530, of security bag 510, with the standard material also has perforation holes to allow ink 220 from the floor of ink box 210 to enter the security bag.
  • ink box 210 is designed so that it can only be opened from the top and only when positioned upward so that it cannot be positioned to hinder the inking process.
  • the top may include a lock release mechanism to enable opening the box from the side only if the top is facing upward.
  • the inking process may be based on high speed ejection of the ink to minimize the dependence on gravity.
  • Fig. 7 is an alternative arrangement of security bags inside in an ink box, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
  • security bags 100 may be arranged with the second face 140 (mesh material) facing a second face 140 and a first face 110 (standard material) facing a first face 110, in contrast to having a first face 110 facing a second face 140 as explained above and illustrated in Fig. 2 and Fig. 5 .
