Abstract: A method of depositing items of value, the method comprising 1) receiving a temper evident and coded container holding the items of value, the code relating to the content of the container; 2) verifying that the package has been received in an acceptable manner, and, if it has, 3) either incrementing an account with the value of the items of value in the container by reference to the code and without opening the container, or, if the account has previously been incremented, leaving the account unchanged.

Abstract: A document storage container assembly (100) comprises a storage container (102), a first tray (330) mounted to the container so as to receive documents to be stacked, the bottom of said tray including an elongate aperture (331) opening into the storage container, and a pusher member (103) mounted on and laterally extending from at least one elongate supporting member (104, 204) which is coupled to an operating mechanism (150, 250) located within the storage container; wherein the operating mechanism is adapted to first move the pusher member through the aperture from a retracted position to an extended position above the first tray and then to move the pusher member from the extended position laterally over the first tray , before moving the pushing member from the extended position to the retracted position orthogonally to the first tray so as to push any documents on the said first tray into the container through the aperture .
