Abstract:
1. A device for handling currency notes, comprising: wherein the device has a deposit and dispensing unit for the deposit and disbursal of currency notes, a controller, at least one currency box for storing currency notes, a reject box for receiving currency notes to be retained, and a transport unit for transporting the currency checks between the deposit and dispensing unit, the currency box and the reject box, wherein a stock counter indicating the current stock of currency notes in the currency box is provided; wherein when a currency note is removed from the currency box, the controller reduces the value of the stock counter by the value of one, and when a currency note is brought to the currency box said controller increments the value of the stock counter by the value of one; wherein when an incorrect withdrawal occurs after removing at least one currency note from the currency box, the controller activates the transport unit in such a manner that said transport unit transports the currency note, or currency notes, in the incorrect withdrawal into the reject box, and wherein a reject counter is provided, clearly assigned and specific to the currency box, that indicates the total number of currency notes removed from this currency box and taken to the reject box, and wherein the controller increments the value of this reject counter by the number of currency notes transported to the reject box by reason of the incorrect withdrawal, wherein, when a currency note jam occurs during transportation of at least one deposited currency note from the deposit and dispensing unit towards the currency box, the controller initially increments the stock counter of the currency box by the number of currency notes in the currency note jam in a first step, and in that the controller then, in a second step, reduces the value of the stock counter of the currency box by the number of currency notes from the jam and increments the value of the reject counter for the currency box by the number of currency notes in the currency note jam.
