Abstract

The invention relates to a device for handling currency notes that includes an input and output unit, a sensor unit to ascertain the denomination of the currency notes deposited, a collective receiving bin to accept currency notes of all denominations and at least two recycling receiving bins to which currency notes can be taken with the aid of a transport unit and from which they can be removed again. A control unit is provided in addition in which data are stored for each recycling receiving bin about which denominations can be accepted in said bin. After the currency note is deposited, the control unit assigns to the currency note a target storage in which said currency note is accepted. To issue a predetermined amount, the control unit ascertains which currency notes should be taken from which recycling receiving bin.
