An electronic lockbox uses a rotary actuator with multiple positions to achieve multiple locking states. Multiple positions of the actuator are detected, using optical sensors. The locking mechanism includes an outer sleeve and an inner cylindrical barrel that are coupled with torsion springs. The lockbox has a shackle and a key bin that are retained by the inner barrel when in the locked state, and the barrel can be rotated to either release the shackle or to release the key bin that typically holds a building's key.

A valuable storage box includes a hollow housing embedded within a wall having a plurality of sidewalls and an open face in communication with an interior storage chamber. A cover plate securable over the open face includes at least one faux electrical component thereon, such as a simulated light switch or electrical receptacle. Accordingly, when valuables are placed within the storage chamber and the cover plate is fastened, the storage box deceptively resembles an operable wall-mounted electrical plate.

The present disclosure relates to a money handling apparatus including: a money storage unit configured to store money; a locking unit configured to limit access to the money storage unit; and a control unit configured to give unlock permission to unlock the locking unit to at least one of a plurality of qualified persons who are qualified to unlock the locking unit, and to perform a process involving change of the qualified person.

The present disclosure relates an electronic locking system. In certain embodiments, the electronic locking system includes a passive electronic lock, active electronic key and passive electronic key. The passive electronic key stores a passive digital key, and the active electronic key stores an active digital key. Each of passive and active electronic keys includes a communication channel and an electronic key power supply port. The active electronic key includes electrical power source providing electrical power supply to active electronic key, passive electronic lock and passive electronic key through passive electronic lock to operate passive electronic lock. When both active and passive electronic keys are inserted into respective electronic keyholes of passive electronic lock, both active and passive digital keys are transmitted to passive electronic lock, passive electronic lock can be locked and unlocked only when both active and passive digital keys received match prestored active and passive digital keys respectively.

A banknote handling system includes an unlocking system. The unlocking system includes a camera, a first mechanical arm to which one or a plurality of keys are affixed, and a controller that determines a position of a keyhole based on an image from the camera, and controls the first arm to insert one of the one or the plurality of keys into the keyhole and turn the inserted key for unlocking. In many examples, the unlocking system is configured to unlock a banknote cashbox.
