• a first rotating member,
• wherein the first rotating member extends in the sheet holding compartment;
• wherein the first rotating member rotates about a first axis and includes at least one first projecting portion,
• wherein the at least one first projecting portion is rotatably movably mounted,
• wherein the at least one first projecting portion comprises a first finger portion,
• wherein the first rotating member includes a first spring,
• wherein the first spring is operative to bias the first finger portion toward the first sheet,
• a shaft,
• wherein the shaft extends along the first axis,
• wherein the first rotating member is in operatively fixed connection with the shaft,
• wherein a first slot extends between the first finger portion and the first rotating member,
• wherein the first finger portion is configured such that when the first finger portion is in engagement with the first sheet, the first slot is configured to accept a portion of a sheet therein,
• at least one first target element portion,
• wherein the at least one first target element portion is within the sheet holding compartment and is in operative engaged connection with the at least one first projecting portion,
• wherein the at least one first target element portion is movably positioned responsive to radial position of the at least one first projecting portion,
• wherein the at least one first target element portion is rotatably positioned responsive to rotational position of the at least one first projecting portion,
• wherein at least one first target element portion position is detectable through operation of at least one first sensor located outside the sheet holding compartment,
• a movably mounted plate,
• wherein the plate extends in the sheet holding compartment,
• wherein the plate operative to engage a second sheet that bounds the stack on a side opposed of the first sheet,
• a drive in operative engagement with the plate,
• wherein the drive is operative to selectively move the stack such that a portion of the first sheet that is in engagement with the at least one first projecting portion is selectively positioned a first distance relative to the first axis,
• at least one second rotating member,
• wherein the at least one second rotating member is in operatively fixed connection with the shaft,
• wherein the at least one second rotating member is operative to hold, move, and release sheets one at a time in aligned relation with the stack,
• wherein the at least one second rotating member includes a second finger portion,
• wherein the second finger portion bounds a second slot,
• wherein the second slot is configured such that a portion of a sheet can extend in the second slot,
• wherein the second slot is generally angularly aligned with the first slot,
• wherein the at least one second rotating member includes a gripper portion,
• wherein the gripper portion is movably mounted,
• wherein the gripper portion is movable to hold a sheet in the second slot and to release the sheet,
• at least one first cam follower in operative connection with the gripper portion,
• at least one first cam axially disposed of the at least one second rotating member,
• wherein the at least one first cam with rotation of the shaft is operative
• to cause the gripper portion to hold a sheet in the second slot in a first rotational position of the second rotating member in which the second slot is rotationally disposed from the stack,
• to cause the sheet to be held through an angle of rotation of the second rotating member, and
• to cause release of the sheet in a second rotational position that is angularly disposed from the first rotational position and is generally in alignment with the stack.

An apparatus including:

• an automated banking machine cassette,
• wherein the cassette is removably usable in a cash dispensing automated banking machine,
• wherein the cassette is configured to hold a plurality of sheets in abutting relation in a stack comprising a first stack end,
• wherein the cassette includes a rotatable assembly,
• wherein the rotatable assembly is rotatable about a first axis,
• wherein the rotatable assembly includes at least one projecting member,
• wherein each respective projecting member pivots about a respective second axis,
• wherein the respective second axis differs from the first axis,
• wherein each respective projecting member includes a first end portion and a second end portion,
• wherein each respective projecting member is associated with at least one respective spring,
• wherein each first end portion is biased by the at least one respective spring about the second axis in a radially outward direction away from the first axis,
• wherein movement of the first end portion in a radially inward direction toward the first axis responsive to engagement of the first end portion and the first stack end, causes the second end portion to move a first radial distance in a radial direction away from the first axis,
• wherein each second end portion includes a magnet that emits magnetic signals,
• wherein movement of the second end portion the first radial distance enables at least one sensor positioned outside of the cassette to sense a magnetic signal level that is indicative of the engagement.
