Abstract
The invention relates to cassettes adapted to contain stacks of banknotes particularly for use with banknote handling apparatus. An object of the invention is to provide a cassette which has identification means to enable the apparatus to recognize a particular denomination of banknotes contained in the cassette. In the drawing (FIG. 1) the cassette has a device 9 on the side of the casing panel 3 to identify the denomination of the banknotes contained in the cassette. The device 9 is encoded to enable an associated sensing means mounted on the handling machine to interpret the encoded information. The encoding device may be for example, magnetic or mechanical, or it may be electromechanical. The specification describes a number of different examples of coding devices including binary devices using magnets, LED devices etc.
