Abstract: A receptacle is mounted on the front plate of a cash register to hold and receive paper money bills. A slidable arm extends through a slot in the vertical wall of the receptacle and cash register to contact a bill placed on the bottom shelf of the receptacle. After a transaction is completed, the "sale" button on the register is pressed to actuate a motor driven cam and linkage which draw the arm and bill through the slot to deposit the bill in the cash register. The receptacle may include a tray for holding various items such as pens and pencils. Display of the bill submitted by a customer during a transaction avoids errors and disputes concerning the denomination of the bill.
