Method of operating banking system responsive to data bearing records

A method comprising:

• (a) operating an automated banking machine to individually evaluate each of a plurality of currency notes received in a note access area of the machine from a user of the machine,
• wherein the machine is associated with at least one computer
• wherein the at least one computer is operable to determine whether an evaluated note is one of
• an acceptable note, which is reusable by the machine in a future currency note dispensing operation,
• a suspect note, which is unacceptable for deposit in the machine, and
• a counterfeit note;
• (b) operating the machine to cause all notes evaluated in (a) to be stored together in an evaluated note holding device;
• (c) operating the machine to cause all notes stored in (b) to be removed from the evaluated note holding device;
• and
• (d) operating the machine to
• (di) cause all of the acceptable notes removed in (c) to be stored in at least one currency note recycling device in the machine,
• wherein the at least one currency note recycling device is spaced from the evaluated note holding area,
• wherein the machine is operable to cause acceptable notes to be removed from the at least one currency note recycling device and dispensed to a subsequent user of the machine;
• (dii) cause all of the suspect notes removed in (c) to be returned to the note access area;
• and
• (diii) cause all of the counterfeit notes removed in (c) to be stored in a counterfeit note storage area in the machine.

A method comprising:

• (a) operating a currency note recycling automated banking machine to cause at least one currency note analysis device to individually analyze each of a plurality of currency notes received from a user of the machine;
• (b) operating the machine to cause all of the notes analyzed in (a) to be stored together in a note holding area in the machine regardless of their acceptability;
• (c) operating the machine to remove from the note holding area, all of the notes stored therein in (b);
• and
• (d) operating the machine to selectively divert respective notes removed in (c) based at least in part on the analysis in (a) of the respective note, wherein the diverting causes all acceptable notes to be separated from all unacceptable notes,
• wherein the machine is operable to store all of the acceptable notes in at least one currency note recycling device in the machine,
• wherein the machine is operable to cause stored acceptable notes to be dispensed to a subsequent user of the machine,
• wherein the at least one currency note recycling device is spaced from the note holding area,
• wherein the machine is operable to cause at least some unacceptable notes to be returned to the user.

At least one article including computer executable instructions operative to cause at least one computer associated with an automated banking machine to carry out a method comprising:

• (a) operating the automated banking machine to cause at least one sheet evaluation device of the machine to evaluate deposit acceptability for each of a plurality of sheets individually received from a stack of sheets provided to a sheet access area of the machine by an authorized user of the machine,
• wherein the machine is operable responsive at least in part to the at least one sheet evaluation device, to determine whether an evaluated sheet is one of
• acceptable for deposit,
• unacceptable for deposit but returnable to the user, and
• unacceptable for deposit but nonreturnable to the user;
• (b) operating the machine to individually store the sheets evaluated in (a) in a first sheet storage device of the machine, causing all of the plurality of sheets to be stored together in the first sheet storage device regardless of their deposit acceptability;
• (c) operating the machine to individually remove from the first sheet storage device, all of the sheets stored therein in (b);
• and
• (d) operating the machine to selectively divert sheets removed in (c), wherein the diverting at least causes
• all removed sheets determined to be acceptable for deposit, to be directed to at least one second sheet storage device of the machine, and
• all removed sheets determined to be unacceptable for deposit but nonreturnable to the user, to be directed to at least one third sheet storage device of the machine,
• wherein each of the first sheet storage device, the at least one second sheet storage device, and the at least one third sheet storage device differ from each other.

A method comprising:

• (a) operating an automated banking machine to cause at least one currency note analysis device to individually analyze each of a plurality of currency notes received from a user of the machine;
• (b) operating the machine to cause all of the notes analyzed in (a) to be stored together in a note holding area of the machine regardless of their acceptability;
• (c) operating the machine to remove from the note holding area, all of the notes stored therein in (b);
• and
• (d) operating the machine to selectively divert respective notes removed in (c) based at least in part on the analysis in (a) of the respective note,
• wherein the diverting causes all acceptable notes to be separated from all unacceptable notes,
• wherein the machine is operable to store separated acceptable notes in at least one acceptable note holding area of the machine,
• wherein the diverting causes all counterfeit notes to be separated from all other notes,
• wherein the machine is operable to store separated counterfeit notes in at least one counterfeit note holding area of the machine,
• wherein each of the note holding area, the at least one acceptable note holding area, and the at least one counterfeit note holding area differ from each other.
