Method for a Banknote Recycler to Self-Audit

摘要

The present invention relates generally to a method for a banknote recycler to perform a self-audit of the contents of the recycler's recycling cassettes without the assistance of a human operator. The method involves the transforming of the deposit cassette into a temporary recycling cassette after the deposit cassette has been emptied of its contents. The banknotes are validated and counted as they are moved from the recycling cassette into the empty deposit cassette, which serves as the banknote storage area. After the audit of the recycling cassette is complete, the banknote recycler is then instructed to move the notes from the deposit cassette back into the appropriate recycling cassette. These same steps can be performed for each recycling cassette in the banknote recycler that is desired to be audited.
