Abstract
In the apparatus of the invention for loading and dispensing bills, the deposited bills are isolated and directly provisionally stored and tested by means of a deposit path (A, B, C), and the testing result, particularly with respect to the amount, is displayed. Depending on the customer's command and/or test result, the bills are returned after deposit from the intermediate storage (20) to the return path (E, F) that has one embranchment location (24b) only, so that the customer can personally test eventual or supposed inaccuracies in the automatic sum and/or value determination of the deposited bills. The bills can be guided into the end storage container by means of the only embranchment location (24b). A completely undisturbed bill loading system is therefore obtained, wherein the bills can be dispensed in the original order in which they were deposited for reverification by the depositing customer. In this manner, the greatest possible feeling of security is extended to the customer making the deposit.
