<p>A cash handling system comprises a plurality of cash stations from which bank notes are sent to one or more other cash stations, and/or at which bank notes are received from one or more other cash stations. A pneumatic tube conveyor system interconnects the cash stations and comprises one or more carriers that are conveyed through the pneumatic tube system. Each of the carriers is adapted to grip a sheaf of bank notes and has an identification device that includes machine-readable information related to the carrier and/or the contents thereof. A software system controls operation of the pneumatic tube conveyor system and determines when and between which of said cash stations a carrier is to be conveyed. At least one of the cash stations includes a mechanism, controlled by the software system, for removing a sheaf of notes from a carrier and/or placing a sheaf of notes into a carrier, and a reader for reading the machine-readable information from the identification device on a carrier.</p> |
