VARIABLE LENGTH BILL PATH

摘要

A variable length banknote drive path is advantageously used to provide a continuous drive path between components of an automated payment system. The banknote drive path includes at least a first inlet/outlet for receiving or outputting banknotes from the payment system and a movable second inlet/outlet for connecting with components provided along the drive path. With this arrangement the second inlet/outlet moves to provide a continuous drive path between components exchanging banknotes.
