An apparatus and method for classifying value documents includes least two sensor devices arranged to capture waves reflected on a front side and on a back side of a value document and to generate corresponding sensor data or to capture properties of the value document in at least two different regions of the value document by means of different measuring principles and to generate corresponding sensor data. At least one evaluation device is arranged to classify the value document with the aid of the sensor data generated by the at least two sensor devices, which sensor data relate to the waves reflected on the front side and back side of the value document or to the properties of the value document captured in the at least two different regions of the value document by means of different measuring principles.

A money handling apparatus (for example, a banknote handling apparatus) includes a destination selector configured to select a storage unit where at least one of a counterfeit money and suspect money among the money transported by the transporting unit is to be transported, from the plurality of storage units (for example, each banknote storage unit, each storage/feeding unit, collecting unit, banknote ejecting unit, and the like) and a controller configured to control the transporting unit to transport at least one of the counterfeit money and suspect money to the storage unit selected by the destination selector among the plurality of storage units.

An apparatus for handling notes of value can comprise a dispensing compartment for withdrawing the notes of value. The dispensing compartment is bounded on a first side by a depositing element and on a second side by a delimiting element. Furthermore, the apparatus comprises at least one first sensor unit for detecting an initialization position of the depositing element. The first sensor unit is designed to generate a first sensor signal and to transmit said first sensor signal to a control unit. The control unit is designed to take the first sensor signal as a basis for actuating a first drive unit such that the depositing element is moved a predetermined distance away from the delimiting element from the initialization position to a first supply position for supplying the notes of value.

A paper sheet processing device includes: an accommodating part that accommodates a paper sheet; and a sliding stage part that is provided within the accommodating part and supports the paper sheet accommodated within the accommodating part, the sliding stage part sliding with respect to the accommodating part to cause a portion of the sliding stage part to protrude to outside of the accommodating part, and the sliding stage part sliding with respect to the accommodating part to push the paper sheet to the outside of the accommodating part and cause a leading end of the paper sheet to protrude to the outside of the accommodating part.

Disclosed herein are financial article handling devices comprising an external aperture connected to a rotary table. The rotary table can contain two or more financial article handling units disposed on the rotary table, each of which can be configured to form an interface with the external aperture. The financial article handling devices can receive an indication from a first financial article handling unit that the first financial article handling unit is no longer functional, disconnect the first financial article handling unit from the external aperture, and articulate the rotary table such that a second financial article handling unit is in communication with the external aperture.

A medium stacking sheet is installed on a rotation shaft of a medium separating and stacking apparatus for stacking or dispensing a medium. The medium stacking sheet includes a body fixed to the rotation shaft and having a plurality of rotation holes which are spaced apart from each other in a rotation direction of the rotation shaft, and a plurality of vanes each including a vane pin rotatably installed in a corresponding rotation hole and a vane piece coupled to the vane pin to stack the medium.

Provided are a transmission mechanism, a sheet-type medium processing device, and an automatic teller machine. The transmission mechanism includes a first frame (100), a second frame (200), and a transmission assembly; the transmission assembly includes a mounting frame (310), a first transmission member (330), a second transmission member (340), and an elastic member (320). The mounting frame (310) is movably disposed on the first frame (100), the first transmission member (330) is disposed on the mounting frame(310), the second transmission member (340) is disposed on the second frame (200), the elastic member (320) is connected between the mounting frame (310) and the first frame (100), and the elastic member (320) is configured to enable the mounting frame (310) to drive the first transmission member (330) to move in a set direction, so that the first transmission member (330) is mated with the second transmission member (340).

A banknote handling system includes a controller that performs a matching process of matching of a second code of a banknote to be subjected to matching read by a recognition circuit with a first code stored in a memory, and the controller determines that the first code matches with the second code if all symbols of specific digits of the first code match with those of the second code and if the number of digits for which symbols mismatch other than the specific digits is a predetermined number or less, and determines that the first code mismatches with the second code if symbols of the specific digits of the first code mismatch with those of the second code or if the number of digits for which symbols mismatch other than the specific digits exceed the predetermined number.

A bill storage unit of an automated teller machine according to an embodiment includes: a lower cassette and an upper cassette which have bills stored therein and are vertically stacked; an external control board disposed outside the lower cassette and the upper cassette to perform power supply and communication signal transmission to the lower cassette and the upper cassette; first and second internal control boards electrically connected to the external control board and disposed inside the lower cassette and the upper cassette to perform power supply and communication signal transmission to each of components inside the lower cassette and components inside the upper cassette; a plurality of connectors interconnected to electrically connect the external control board and the first and second internal control boards; and a position alignment means configured to, when the upper cassette is being stacked on the lower cassette, guide the plurality of connectors to be interconnected at correct positions.

A modular service station providing customizable casino services comprise a base module providing base functionality and/or one or more secondary modules which are associated with the base module and implement secondary functionality to the base functionality.
