automated teller for input and output of the notes, including the detektororgan for control of banknotes, and a destrueringsenhet

摘要

A teller machine for the infeed and outfeed of banknotes having detectors for checking respectively the quality, denomination and validity of banknotes. The detector for checking the validity of a banknote carries out on each deposited and by-passing banknote a check relating to a first number of validity criteria and with respect to a second number of validity criteria. This second number of validity criteria is included in the teller machine as a closed and sealed unit so as to be in a material form available to the validity detector but sealed to prevent unintended access thereto. Banknotes determined to be genuine and of low quality by the respective detectors may be destroyed within the teller machine upon receipt of an acceptance signal from a superordinate unit outside the teller machine.
