Abstract
An ATM can accept a bulk stack of currency notes for deposit from a customer. The ATM includes a stack transporter () that can rotate an accepted stack while relocating it to a predetermined location inside of the machine. The stack transporter includes a rotatable housing () in which a stack holder () is movable. The stack holder can receive a currency stack () deposited in a fascia opening () by a customer. The stack holder is retracted to move the stack away from the opening and into the housing to completely move the stack into the machine. The housing, having the bulk stack therein, is then rotated to move the stack away from the opening and toward a stack processing area in the machine. The stack holder is then extended to expose a stack end out of the housing for stack processing.
