Abstract

An automated banking machine () includes a cash dispenser (). A machine user interface () includes a card reader (), receipt printer opening (), and cash dispensing opening (). A cash acceptor mechanism () includes a chute () which enables a user to input a stack of currency notes () into the machine through a deposit opening (). Notes are separated from an inputted stack via a note picker device () and a note stripper device (). Upon sensing multiple notes have been picked, picker device movement is reversed to function with the stripper device in returning notes toward the stack. The stripper device is driven to move a note engaged therewith at a faster rate or for a longer time period relative to a note engaged with the picker device to reorient returning notes to facilitate a subsequent note separation attempt.
