Abstract

See full text

A currency handling apparatus wherein an input bin is provided for accepting a stack of bills from which bottom bills are to be successively fed in single file in a given feed direction along a bill transport path. The apparatus is provided with a feed arrangement comprising a bill supporting surface for supporting a stack of bills and a stripping wheel. The stripping wheel projects through the bill supporting surface so as to contact the stack of bills. The stripping wheel has a circumference and a high-friction surface and/or a raised surface along only a portion of its circumference such that during rotation of said stripping wheel said high-friction portion and/or raised portion intermittently engages the lowermost bill of the stack of bills. The stripping wheel is always stopped with the high-friction portion and/or the raised portion of its circumference below the bill supporting surface.
