<p>A security gate mechanism for a currency handling apparatus having a currency passageway includes a rotatable gate 100 having a slit 115 therein. The slit 115 is aligned with the currency passageway when the rotatable gate 100 is in an initial position. A drive wheel 60 is coupled to the rotatable gate 100 for driving the rotatable gate 100 in first and second directions, wherein the second direction is opposite the first direction. A positioning member is selectively engageable with the drive wheel 60 for positioning the rotatable gate 100 in the initial position such that the slit 115 in the rotatable gate 100 is substantially aligned with the passageway. The positioning member is arranged to be engageable with the drive wheel 60 when the drive wheel 60 rotates the rotatable gate 100 in the second direction, but it is not engageable with the drive wheel 60 when the drive wheel 60 rotates the rotatable gate 100 in the first direction.</p> |
