Abstract
An automatic teller machine has not only a main store comprising a number of cassettes ( and ) holding stacks of banknotes but also faster operating auxiliary stores ( and ) which hold limited numbers of the most popular denominations of banknote. A request for cash is met, if possible, from the auxiliary stores ( and ). This enables the machine to provide a service at a faster rate than the rate of dispensing from of the main store. The auxiliary stores are replenished from the main store, preferably at times during which the machine is not in the process of dispensing notes to a customer.
