CURRENCYHANDLING
New or Uncirculated Note Defects
• All the conditions listed for used notes.
• Excessive bowing due to conditions of
packing and storing.
• New or uncirculated currency must be
“burst” and fully separated prior to
loading into cassettes.
Preparing Notes
Use the following procedures to prepare
notes before inserting them into a
notecCassette.
Preparing Used Notes
• Remove the band around each bundle
of notes.
• Remove foreign objects (e.g. pins, pa-
per clips, crumbs, etc.).
• Remove torn or very worn notes.
• Straighten any folded notes.
Preparing New or Uncirculated
Notes
• Remove the band around each bundle
of notes. Separate the notes from each
other by:
• Striking the bundle hard against the
edge of a table or similar object.
• Flipping through each bundle of notes
in both directions at each end.
• Using a note counter.
Note Condition
If possible, store currency at room tempera-
ture for at least eight hours before dispens-
ing from the cassettes.
The number of rejects can be directly influ-
enced by the technique used to load the cas-
settes and the quality of the currency. Notes
loaded into the cassettes must be in “fit”
condition if a high level of performance (low
reject and failure rate) is expected from the
unit. “Fit” notes do not possess any of the
defects listed here:
Used Note Defects
• Adhesive or “sticky” substances on
the surface of the paper.
• Tears extending more than 1/2” from
the edge of the currency.
• Tears, holes, or missing sections in the
body of the currency.
• Tape on the surface of the currency
used for repairing, patching or any other
purpose.
• Staples, pins, or any other foreign body
attached to the notes.
• Corner folds of a size greater than 1/2”
on either axis.
• Two or more notes joined by any
means.
• Excessively crumpled or crinkled.
**CAUTION**
DO NOT RECYCLE REJECTED
NOTES INTO A CASSETTE!
Doing so could cause more rejects
and/or currency jams.
