An automated transaction machine includes a plurality of cassettes of at least two different configurations. A first cassette may include multiple cavities with an internal transport, while a second cassette includes a single cavity. A first cassette may include lid access from both a top and bottom, while a second cassette only includes lid access from a top.

A money handling apparatus (banknote handling apparatus 1) includes: a transporter 4 which includes a first route for the money that passes through a recognition unit 24 and a second route for the money that does not pass through the recognition unit 24, and wherein the transporter is operable to transport the money from a first storage to a second storage along either the first route or the second route; and a controller (controller 15) which, in a process of storing the money fed from the first storage into the second storage, selects either the first route or the second route for the money in accordance with a specific condition.

A sterilizing media cassette is described for docking with a self-service terminal or a docking terminal. The sterilizing media cassette has a body having a lower portion and four sides. The body is adapted to hold a stack of media items such as banknotes on support members positioned above the lower portion of the body. A lid is provided that couples to the body. The lid forms an enclosed inner space when coupled to the body. An ozone gas source and/or a heat source is mounted on an inner surface of the body or the inner surface of the lid. A controller activates the ozone gas source and/or a heat source to sterilize the stack of media items. This may be done for a predetermined fixed period of time after the sterilizing media cassette is docked with a self-service terminal or a docking terminal.

A multi-currency allocation assembly line includes a machine core module, a plastic packaging module, a sorting assembly line, and a manipulator. The machine core module is used for storing banknotes, and outputting banknotes into a banknote receiving funnel according to a system instruction. Among the machine cores in an array, the machine cores respectively store different banknotes, and the banknotes output by the different machine cores are then respectively conveyed, by means of the manipulator, to the plastic packaging module for plastic packaging and are then conveyed to the sorting assembly line, so as to complete banknote allocation, packaging and sorting in one step, thereby greatly increasing the banknote allocation efficiency and minimizing manual errors during manual operation.

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.
