Abstract

A money deposit and/or dispensing device has a plurality of bank note reception compartments or cases mounted on a movable support rotatably mounted in a safe type housing. The housing has an opening for allowing access to one of the compartments located in front of the opening. A closure member such as a sliding door is associated with the opening and adapted to be brought into an opening position under control of a central control unit. The control unit enables the opening position of the closure member only after predetermined conditions are fulfilled, particularly after a predetermined timing delay after introduction of an appropriate instruction by the user through a keyboard has lapsed. The compartments may be selectively moved in front of the opening so that only the selected compartment is accessible through the opening.
