Abstract: The invention relates to a banknote system for inputting and outputting banknotes and a method for controlling the banknote system. Specified is a banknote system for inputting and outputting banknotes and a method for controlling a banknote system, by means of which a multiplicity of nominal values can be processed and which is characterized by a space-saving construction. In particular, a space-saving storage of banknotes having different nominal values is provided in a simple manner by storing banknotes having at least two different nominal values in one storage unit. The value of a banknote is determined with the aid of a detection unit for determining the nominal value, such that the nominal value of the stored banknote is known. The determined nominal value of a banknote is preferably saved in a control unit, such that the sequence of the stored banknotes in terms of their nominal value is known for each storage unit.

Abstract: A cash dispenser for dispensing bank notes includes a container for the secure storage, transport, and dispensing of bank notes. The cash dispenser includes a housing having a control panel and an output compartment for dispensing bank notes. The housing defines an opening for receiving a container removably positionable in the opening. The container defines a pass-through slot in a wall thereof for transferring bank notes between the container and the housing. Functional units disposed in the container include a bank note storage unit having a withdrawal device, a first bank note conveyor arranged between the bank note storage unit and the pass-through slot and a drive unit for driving the withdrawal device and the first bank note conveyor. A control unit disposed inside the container controls the functional units therein. A security mechanism invalidates banks notes stored in the container upon unauthorized manipulation of the container.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cash dispenser that comprises a housing with a receiving chamber for at least one storage unit (62) for bank notes, a withdrawal device (70) that is allocated to the storage unit (62) and serves for withdrawing individual bank notes from the storage unit (62) and a transport device (72) for bank notes. Said transport device is used for transporting the bank notes between the storage unit (62) and a control panel of the cash dispenser. The inventive cash dispenser also comprises a current supply unit and a control device (94) for controlling the functions of the cash dispenser.
