Sealed tamper-indicating money dispensing containers for automatic

Abstract

Banking equipment money dispensers wherein a bill picker removes paper money bills one at a time from stacked bills at a dispenser station. The stack of bills is delivered with maximum security in a sealed, loaded container from a central bank loading station. Bills are dispensed at the dispenser station through an access opening by a bill picker. The locked container delivered to the dispenser station is mounted on and locked to a retainer. Unlocking the container access and entry opening closure lock permits loading with a stack of bills and dispensing bills from the stack. The closure lock has duplicate keys for locking and unlocking the lock, one maintained protectively at the bank loading station and the other held captive by the dispenser retainer. The captive key can unlock the container lock only when the container is in retained position. The locked container during delivery cannot be opened without physical damage. Container tampering at any time when locked and not at the loading or dispenser stations is shown by physical damage appearance. When the container money supply is depleted the container is locked and removed from the dispenser station and replaced by a filled container. Money supply depletion is signaled. The sealed tamper indicating container delivery system provides for delivering a supply of paper money to an automatic banking unit money dispenser under conditions of maximum security.
