<p>A method and apparatus for a lockable, removable cassette (100) for attachment to a bill validator (200) is disclosed. A lever (2) is turned to a predetermined position which unlocks the cassette (100) from the bill validator (200), and locks a pusher plate (36) to prevent unauthorized bill removal. The lever (2) is prevented from being turned clockwise and from further rotation past the predetermined position. When a hinged door (40) of the secured cassette (100) is opened by authorized personnel with a separate key, the lever (2) is released from its locked position arming the cassette (100). The emptied cassette (100) can now be returned to the service person who can now reconnect it to a bill validator (200) by further rotating the lever (2), which locks the cassette (100) in place and unlocks the pusher plate (36) to prepare the cassette (100) to receive bills accepted by the validator (200).</p> |
