Abstract
A dispensing unit for paper currency includes a box-shaped currency container (14) with a circuit that stores an identification code and with a frame-like receptacle module (12) into which the currency container (14) can be inserted, and a contact arrangement (146) of the currency container (14) can be connected by a mating contact arrangement (148) mounted on the receptacle module (12) to a polling and control circuit that controls the opening or locking of the currency container (14). In order to permit polling of the circuit in the currency container (14) during the insertion movement, the mating contact arrangement (148) is adjustable in the direction of insertion (A) of the currency container (14). An adjustable locking element (166) which is mounted on receptacle module (12) or on the currency container (14) and can be controlled by the control system, engages a catch element (196) on the other part such that in the engaged position of the locking element (166) and the catch element (196), the currency container (14) is some distance away from a draw-off and single feed mechanism (22, 26) of the receptacle module such that opening of its closure (42) is possible.
