Abstract
A cash vault (1) has vault control unit (7) to be operated alternately by two tellers (4a, 4b), with only a single banknote disbursement (11) and input unit (39). The disbursement opening of banknote disbursement unit (11) is closeable by a two-part cover (13a, 13b) with only that opening part which is adjacent to the pertinent teller (4a, 4b) being cleared at the time for currency disbursement. In this way, allocation of the amount of money made available to one of the two bank employees takes place without problems. The second bank employee cannot take the banknote bundle made available to the first bank employee even inadvertently. For path selection of banknotes from banknote input unit (39) to a banknote repository (35) or to banknote disbursement unit (11) or from the banknote repository to the banknote disbursement unit (11), a bar-shaped path selection element rotatable about its longitudinal axis is used. The path selection element is traversed by at least one longitudinal slot.
