Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for storage and dispensing of bank notes, preferably having a device connected in series to verify genuineness of bank notes inserted. To provide the apparatus which is characterized by a simple and therefore economical performance construction with the required security of pay-out, a compartment module having components lying next to each other, separated from each other by partitions and opened at their end sides is provided which is guided moveably by a controlled drive. To store the bank notes, a slider travelable to and fro by a controlled drive is guided in the housing in the transverse middle plane of the bank note supplied in each case, this slider pushing the bank notes while folding them in the middle in a loop-like manner into a compartment of the compartment module traveling into the middle plane.
