Abstract

A cassette cash box for a currency validator prevents unauthorized removal of cash therefrom and evidences any attempt at such removal. The cash box is totally enclosed but for a front panel which has a window through which a punch can move. A continuous sleeve is maintained within the cash box, having a window corresponding to the window in the box itself. When the cash box is to be removed and replaced with a new one, a torsion spring within a barrel causes the continuous sleeve to rotate and lock in a position such that the sleeve window is at the rear of the cash box and a continuous sheet of material covers the cash at the window in the front panel of the box. The sleeve is constructed of a metallic or plastic film which readily evidences tampering or any attempts to make access to the currency within the box.
