A banknote store ( 10, 12, 14, 16 ) comprises first and second drums ( 18, 20; 18, 22 ) mounted for rotation about respective axes on, respectively, first and second shafts ( 51 ), an elongate support strip ( 24; 26 ) which can be unwound from one of the drums onto the other of the drum, and vice versa, such that banknotes ( 60 ) can be supported in succession by the support strip while that is wound around at least one of the drums, coupling means ( 44, 46, 50 ) for coupling the shafts together, first biasing means ( 54 ) between the coupling means and the first drum and second biasing means ( 56; 58 ) between the coupling means and the second drum for allowing biased relative motion between each said drum and said coupling means, and for maintaining tension in the support strip.
