Abstract
An apparatus for loading currency notes into and picking notes from a currency cassette (14) includes a movable support member (56) on which the cassette (14) is mounted and which is movable together with the cassette (14) between an operative position in which loading or picking takes place and a non-operative position. Lower and upper stack retaining pawls (180, 182) are pivotably movable between operative positions in which they engage lower and upper front edges of a stack of notes (44) held in the cassette (14) and non-operative positions. When the apparatus changes from a picking to a loading mode, the support member (56) is moved to its non-operative position and the pawls (180, 182) are moved to their operative positions, after which the support member (56) is moved back to its operative position, the stack (44) being urged against the pawls (180, 182) so as to form a space (208) in front of the stack (44) for accommodating notes to be loaded into the cassette (14).
