Abstract: A currency cassette (10) includes pusher means (26) arranged to urge a stack of currency notes towards an exit end of the cassette (10) from which notes are extracted when the cassette (10) is mounted in an associated cash dispensing means. A carrier member (68) carries a permanent magnet adapted to cooperate with a reed switch included in the cash dispensing means. The carrier member (68) is removably mounted in the pusher means (26) in a first position or a second position such that, in operation, the magnet operates the reed switch when the pusher means (26) reaches a first position or a second position relative to the exit end of the cassette (10), depending on the position in which the carrier member is mounted on the pusher means (26). Operation of the switch serves to provide a warning that the number of notes remaining in the cassette (10) has reached a predetermined first level or second level.
