Abstract
A banknote deposit-withdrawal system () for assisting in a financial transaction includes an opening () to receive banknotes in an orientation where the short edge of the banknotes is the leading-edge. A transportation mechanism () transports received banknotes to a separation area in the short edge leading-edge orientation. A separator mechanism () separates banknotes from bulk in the separation area and transports banknotes serially to a sensing unit () in a long edge leading-edge orientation. The sensing unit validates the authenticity of inserted banknotes in the long edge leading-edge orientation. After authentication, if rejected, banknotes are returned to the user in short edge leading-edge orientation. After authentication banknotes deemed genuine are sent to storage units () in the long edge leading-edge orientation. The opening () is operated in a single banknote insertion mode, a bulk banknote insertion mode, a rejection of unacceptable banknote mode, and a banknote dispense mode.
