Abstract
A system for handling banknotes within a geographically limited area, including a plurality of banknote handling machines positioned over the geographically limited area for depositing and withdrawing banknotes. The machines are adapted to separately bundle and cassette-package banknotes of accepted quality, non-accepted quality, and any false banknotes that may have been discovered. A shared information center communicates with the machines to exchange factual data relating to the presence of stored banknotes and cassette-packaged banknotes of the various types, and a plurality of transport vehicles transport the cassette-packaged banknotes to and from the machines in response to orders from the information center issued on the basis of information sent from the machines to the information center.
