Abstract
A cartridge for holding flexible bills in first and second stacks, comprises a cuboid housing having first and second openings on oppositely located walls thereof, a mechanism for opening and closing the first and second openings, and pressure plates disposed within the housing which press the first and second stacks against the first and second openings, respectively. The pressure plates are parallel to each other and are movable independently of each other along a common axis. At least one of the pressure plates is movable from its associated opening to the immediate proximity of the other pressure plate, thereby making maximum use of the interior space of the cartridge.
