Abstract
An ATM () includes a housing () including a generally L-shaped chest portion () and an upper housing portion (). The ATM includes a fascia () which extends on the outside of a wall () and includes a user interface (). Responsive to inputs of a user through the user interface the machine is operative to accept a stack of sheets () which are evaluated through operation of a sheet validator device () and which enables acceptable sheets to be stored within the chest portion. Unacceptable sheets are routed to a storage area (). Provisions are made for reducing the risk of attack on the ATM by criminals and to facilitate servicing by authorized personnel.
