Abstract: A banknote deposit-withdrawal system (300) for assisting in a financial transaction includes an opening (415) to receive banknotes in an orientation where the short edge of the banknotes is the leading-edge. A transportation mechanism (303) transports received banknotes to a separation area in the short edge leading-edge orientation. A separator mechanism (22014) separates banknotes from bulk in the separation area and transports banknotes serially to a sensing unit (1402) in a long edge leading-edge orientation. The sensing unit validates the authenticity of inserted banknotes in the long edge leading-edge orientation. After authentication, if rejected, banknotes are returned to the user in short edge leading-edge orientation. After authentication banknotes deemed genuine are sent to storage units (1406) in the long edge leading-edge orientation.

Abstract: A banknote stacker comprising at least one first scissors linkage acting to extend a pusher into a cashbox, and at least one second scissors linkage acting transversely to said first to extend a lateral portion of said pusher to flatten a note in the cashbox.

Abstract: A coin dispenser includes coin storage tubes (4) each with a dispensing mechanism (10) located directly below each tubes (4). The dispensing mechanism (10) includes a motor (14), a planetary, planocentric or other compact reduction gear and a dispensing link arm (30) pivoted towards one side of the tube (4) and reciprocated by a drive pin (28) located in a slot (33). This arrangement allows a high packing density of tubes (4) and flexibility in their positioning. The tubes are arranged in an arc around a dispensing aperture (5). Multiple such dispensers may be stacked so that coins from an upper dispenser fall through the dispensing aperture in the lower dispenser.
