BANKNOTE HANDLING SYSTEM

摘要

A banknote handling unit (10) located at a point of sale accepts banknotes via a verifier and stacker (12), which stacks the notes in a cassette (13). The cassette (13) has a non-volatile memory element (130) which stores details of the number and value of notes within the cassette at any time. The cassette (13) is removable, and can only be opened and unloaded at a secure location, where the contents are checked against the record in the memory (130).
