Abstract
The respective proportions of currency items of different denominations in a multi-denominational store are adjusted in accordance with future change requirements for the different denominations. This is achieved by inhibiting the sending of a particular denomination to the store if the number of currency items of that denomination currently contained in the store exceeds a threshold, leaving more room for currency items of other denominations. There is also disclosed a multi-denominational banknote store which stores banknotes individually in radial regions of a drum, and which can rotate to bring each region into registry with an input/output conveyor.
