An apparatus for storing value documents, in particular bank notes, comprising:
- a stacker wheel which is arranged to receive and successively dispense value documents;
- a transport device which is arranged to receive the value documents dispensed one after another by the stacker wheel and to transport the value documents in such a way that the value documents come to lie on top of each other in a shingled manner;
- a storage device configured to store the value documents lying on top of each other in the shingled manner;
- and
- a control device, which is arranged to control the transport device and/or the stacker wheel in such a way that the degree of overlap of the value documents coming to lie on top of each another in the shingled manner is adjusted.
A method for storing value documents, the method comprising:
- receiving value documents with a stacker wheel;
- dispensing the value documents received by the stacker wheel one after the other to a transport device;
- transporting the value documents dispensed one after the other by the stacker wheel to the transport device by means of the transport device in such a way that the value documents come to lie on top of each other in a shingled manner;
- disposing the value documents lying on top of each other in a shingled manner between at least a first storage foil and a storage spool of a storage device;
- controlling with a control device the transport device and/or the stacker wheel in such a way that the degree of overlap of the value documents coming to lie on top of each another in the shingled manner is adjusted;
