Abstract

An automated transaction machine can include at least one currency cassette, a currency recycler, a user interface, a transceiver, a shell, a door, a slot, and a cart. The currency recycler can extract banknotes held by the currency cassette. The user interface can receive an input from a user corresponding to a request for currency dispensing. The transceiver can transmit the input remotely for approval. The shell can have an interior at least partially enclosing the currency cassette and the door can close the interior. The cart can have a holding portion and a plurality of wheels. The currency cassette can be carried by the holding portion and rest on the wheels. Lowermost edges of the wheels can be lower than lowermost edges of the holding portion and the currency cassette when the currency cassette is in the interior.

Dependent claims

An automated transaction machine (ATM) comprising:

at least one currency cassette configured to a hold a plurality of banknotes;
a currency recycler configured to selectively extract one or more of the plurality of banknotes held by said at least one currency cassette;
a user interface configured to receive an input from a user, the input corresponding to at least part of a request for currency dispensing;
a transceiver communicating with said user interface and configured to receive the input and transmit the input remotely for approval of the request for currency dispensing;
a shell having an interior sized to at least partially enclose said at least one currency cassette and said currency recycler;
a door configured to selectively close said interior of said shell;
a slot formed in said door, wherein said currency recycler, when positioned in said interior, is aligned with said slot and is configured to direct the one or more banknotes extracted from said at least one currency cassette through said slot;
