Abstract

Units of currency are assembled and packed on a transport medium which is secured within a housing and which is incrementally unpacked under security control to dispense the desired amount of currency. The units of currency are removably attached to the transport medium by isolated, discontinuous adhesive regions on the transport medium that attach the currency thereto in substantially coplanar array with the forward edge unattached to facilitate selective unpacking by non-coplanar manipulation of the transport medium that separates the forward edge of the currency from the transport medium.
