Abstract

A device for receiving, inspecting and storing instruments of value, comprising a lockable housing having at least one instrument receptacle (36), an inspection means for inspecting and identifying the instruments, a deposit unit (14) having a deposit pocket (18) and a return pocket (20) arranged on a wall (16) of the housing. Conveyors (28, 38) are provided for conveying instruments between the deposit unit (14) and the inspection unit and between the inspection unit and the instrument receptacle (36). The instrument receptacle (36) and a first part of the inspection unit (34) for verifying the genuineness of and identifying the instruments are arranged inside a closed vault (12). Instruments are moved between the closed vault and the deposit unit (14) by way of a two-way conveyor (28) passing through an opening (30) in the wall of the vault (12).
