Abstract

An apparatus for dispensing a specified quantity of bills of a single denomination has a feed mechanism for feeding bills into a first guide path, and a transport mechanism for receiving bills within a second guide path. The first and second guide paths are arranged so that reversal of the transport mechanism causes a single bill to be dispensed from the apparatus via a gap between the two guide paths. If a misfeed is detected, the transport mechanism is maintained in forward operation to collect misfed bills within an internal rejected bill receptacle.
