Abstract: A money item handling apparatus in which a conveying apparatus includes a first track section comprising at least one first money item conveying element, a second track section comprising at least one second money item conveying element and a static support section located between the first track section and the second track section. One or more money item sensors may be embedded in the static support. Surplus money items and money items in disruption configurations may be removed from the conveying apparatus.

Abstract: A money item handling apparatus including a money item detection apparatus. The money item detection apparatus is operable in a system comprising a money item conveyor. The money item detection apparatus comprises a contact region arranged to physically interact with money items in a disruption configuration on the money item conveyor, and a trigger region physically connected to the contact region and moveable between first and second positions. A physical interaction between the contact region and a money item in a disruption configuration on the money item conveyor causes the trigger region to move from the first position to the second position to halt the money item conveyor.

Abstract: Described herein is a method comprising performing optical character recognition on at least one region of a display screen to determine at least one displayed character; identifying, from the determined at least one displayed character, a monetary value to be dispensed; and in response to identifying the monetary value to be dispensed, causing to be dispensed at least one money item corresponding to the identified monetary value. Further described is a method comprising determining, using at least one money item denominating apparatus, a monetary value of at least one received money item; in response to determining the monetary value, automatically providing at least one simulated user input to the interactive user interface indicative of the determined monetary value.

Abstract: A banknote acceptor 1 for authenticating a banknote 2, has a sensing station S with detector 18 that produces image signals corresponding to a face the banknote. A processor 24 pre-processes the image signals and compares them with stored reference data corresponding to an acceptable banknote from memory 25 to determining the authenticity of the banknote and its denomination. A display device 29 displays an image 31 corresponding to the banknote under test based on the image signals from the detector 18, to allow the user to perform a visual check that the banknote detected at the sensing station corresponds to the banknote under test presented by the user. Also, the detected denomination of the banknote is displayed on device 32. The user can accept or reject the banknote using buttons 33 and 34, and retrieve images of previously accepted banknotes with button 35.

Abstract: An apparatus for conveying money items, which is configured to singulate money items during conveyance, sense characteristics of money items during conveyance and eject money items from a conveyor.
