Abstract: A method and system for recycling money items from a mixed denomination money item storage chamber to create a mixed money item magazine for dispensing money items.

Abstract: A method and system for auditing money items within a secure housing, the monety items being collected from a multi-denomination money item storage unit and validated while being transported by a conveyor that deposits them back into the multi-denomination storage unit after they have been identified. The same process is done with the money items present in the at least one hopper.

Abstract: A handling device for money items such as coins and tokens has a receiving station (6) at which coins are fed onto a conveyor (4) that feeds them one by one to a processing station (9). The conveyor is made up of conveyor link members (17, 18) having a money item receiving surface (21), and first and second lugs (30, 31) upstanding from the surface (21), each having forward facing capture regions (33, 35) configured to be driven in a longitudinal conveying direction C through the receiving station (6) to receive a coin or token its major discoidal surface overlying the surface (21) and with its peripheral edge abutting the capture regions (33,35) of the lugs (30,31), one of the capture regions of the lugs being upstanding from the surface (21) at least in part by a height (h2) greater than the other capture region (h3), so as to capture and singulate the coins in a manner that prevents two coins from being held, such that one of them is ejected.

Abstract: An acceptor for money items such as coins or banknotes produces a money item parameter signal (x1) depending on a sensed characteristic of the money item. A store (12) provides window data corresponding to normal acceptance ranges of values of the parameter signal for a money item of a particular denomination (NAW), as well as restricted acceptance windows (RAW). A processor (11) determines when an occurrence of the parameter signal (x1) may represent a fraudulent money item and then for subsequent sensed money items compares the value of the parameter signals (x1) with the restricted acceptance range (RAW). The RAW range is used until n succAn acceptor for money items such as coins or banknotes produces a money item parameter signal (x1) depending on a sensed characteristic of the money item.

Abstract: An acceptor for money items such as coins or banknotes produces a money item parameter signal x1 as a function of a sensed characteristic of a money item. A store (12) provides data which defines a window corresponding to a normal acceptance range of values of the parameter signal for a money item of a particular denomination (NAW), the range including relatively high and low acceptance probability regions (RAW, USM) which correspond to a relatively high or low probability or an occurrence of a sensed money item of a particular denomination. The processor 11 determines when an occurrence of the parameter signal x1 falls within the low probability region (USM) and then for the next sensed money item compares the value of the parameter signal (x1) with window data corresponding to a restricted acceptance range (RAW) so as only to accept the second money item if the corresponding value of the parameter signal x1 falls within the restricted acceptance range.
