Abstract
A device, such as an automated teller machine, can include a shutterable aperture configured to receive deposit materials, such as cash and checks. The device can include a slotted rotatable drum located behind the shutterable aperture. During a transaction, when the aperture is unshuttered, the drum can be rotationally positioned to align the slot with the shutterable aperture, so that deposit materials pass through the aperture, then pass through the slot in the drum. Before and/or after a transaction, when the aperture is shuttered, the drum can be rotated in the same direction through several complete rotations, such as five or ten rotations. Used in this manner, the drum can detect and/or ensnare potential traps formed with hard and/or soft materials. If a trap prevents the drum from rotating, circuitry in the device can trigger an alert and take the device out of service.
