In one implementation, a method of visualizing a deposit at an automated teller machine includes receiving a command to deposit at least one depository element; determining an amount associated with the command; displaying, on a transparent surface of the automated teller machine configured to allow a user of the automated teller machine to view the at least one depository element, a visual representation of the determined amount; and receiving, concurrent with or after displaying, a verification of the amount. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: receiving a currency deposit at an automated teller machine; determining an amount of the currency deposit; and displaying, on a transparent surface of the automated teller machine, a visual representation of the determined amount of the currency deposit, wherein the currency deposit is visible through the transparent surface as the visual representation of the determined amount of the currency deposit is displayed on the transparent surface. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the currency deposit is received from a user of the automated teller machine. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein determining the amount comprises receiving the amount as input from a user of the automated teller machine. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein the input comprises a number corresponding to the amount received, from the user, at an input device of the automated teller machine. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein displaying the visual representation comprises sending a command to a projector of the automated teller machine configured to project the visual representation on a front side or a back side of the transparent surface. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein displaying the visual representation comprises sending a command to at least one of a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a light-emitting diode (LED) array embedded in the transparent surface to display the visual representation. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the visual representation comprises text indicating the amount. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the visual representation comprises graphics of currency corresponding to the amount. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the visual representation overlaps, at least in part, at least one depository element of the currency deposit. ### Claim 10 A method comprising: receiving, at an automated teller machine, a command to dispense currency; determining an amount of currency to dispense based on the command; and displaying, on a transparent surface of the automated teller machine, a visual representation of the determined amount of currency, wherein the currency to be dispensed is visible through the transparent surface as the visual representation of the determined amount of currency is displayed on the transparent surface. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein displaying the visual representation comprises sending a command to a projector of the automated teller machine configured to project the visual representation on a front side or a back side of the transparent surface. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein displaying the visual representation comprises sending a command to at least one of a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a light: emitting diode (LED) array embedded in the transparent surface to display the visual representation. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising receiving, concurrent with or after displaying, a verification of the amount. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the verification is received as input from a user of the automated teller machine at the transparent surface. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the visual representation comprises at least one of text indicating the amount or graphics of currency corresponding to the amount. ### Claim 16 A system, comprising: at least one of a contactless reader or a card reader; at least one user input device; at least one slot configured to accept or dispense currency; at least one transparent surface near the at least one slot, wherein the currency is visible through the transparent surface; at least one device configured to display images on the at least one transparent surface; at least one memory storing instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising: receiving, from the at least one of the card reader or the contactless reader, an identifier of a user; and authenticating the user based on the identifier. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The system of claim 16, further comprising: a projector configured to project a visual representation on a front side or a back side of the transparent surface. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The system of claim 16, wherein the at least one device configured to display images on the at least one transparent surface is a liquid crystal display. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The system of claim 16, wherein the at least one device configured to display images on the at least one transparent surface is a light-emitting diode (LED) array.
