Abstract
An automated banking machine () includes a sheet picking mechanism (). The sheet picking mechanism includes a rotatable picking member (). With each rotation an end sheet () can be picked from a stack () of sheets. The picking member () has an outer surface section that includes a high friction portion () axially adjacent to a low friction portion (). The low friction portion comprises an arcuate projecting portion that reduces risk of damage to a leading edge area of the end sheet due to opposed picking and stripping forces.
