A method and system for recycling money items from a mixed denomination money item storage chamber to create a mixed money item magazine for dispensing money items.

Money item dispensing

A method and system for auditing money items within a secure housing, the monety items being collected from a multi-denomination money item storage unit and validated while being transported by a conveyor that deposits them back into the multi-denomination storage unit after they have been identified. The same process is done with the money items present in the at least one hopper.

A handling device for money items such as coins and tokens has a receiving station () at which coins are fed onto a conveyor () that feeds them one by one to a processing station (). The conveyor is made up of conveyor link members () having a money item receiving surface (), and first and second lugs () upstanding from the surface (), each having forward facing capture regions () configured to be driven in a longitudinal conveying direction C through the receiving station () to receive a coin or token its major discoidal surface overlying the surface () and with its peripheral edge abutting the capture regions () of the lugs (), one of the capture regions of the lugs being upstanding from the surface () at least in part by a height (h) greater than the other capture region (h), so as to capture and singulate the coins in a manner that prevents two coins from being held, such that one of them is ejected.

Money item handling device and conveyor

A banknote acceptorfor authenticating a banknote, has a sensing station S with detectorthat produces image signals corresponding to a face the banknote. A processorpre-processes the image signals and compares them with stored reference data corresponding to an acceptable banknote from memoryto determining the authenticity of the banknote and its denomination. A display devicedisplays an imagecorresponding to the banknote under test based on the image signals from the detector, to allow the user to perform a visual check that the banknote detected at the sensing station corresponds to the banknote under test presented by the user. Also, the detected denomination of the banknote is displayed on device. The user can accept or reject the banknote using buttonsand, and retrieve images of previously accepted banknotes with button
