Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of handling valuable items, such as banknotes and the like, in which there is used a valuable item storage unit (10) which is adapted for receiving and dispensing valuable items/banknotes, wherein the unit (10) preferably includes an alarm device (12) and a destructive device/staining device/marking device (13). The unit (10) is moved between at least two different user stations in which its ability to receive and/or dispense valuable items/banknotes is utilized. When necessary, several such units (10) may be disposed as a common unit pack (1000) which is used in a pendular fashion in accordance with the concept of the invention. Two user stations that can be combined by way of example are shop cash-points (3000) and automatic telling machines (4000) wherein the banknotes are protected continuously and the need for security transportation can be reduced.
