ABSTRACT:
A farebox for receiving currency includes a housing having a deposit section, a cashbox for holding the currency, and a recess in the housing for removably receiving the cashbox. A blocking mechanism defined by the cashbox closes an entrance to the cashbox to prevent access to the currency contained therein. A lock holds the blocking mechanism in a blocking position and a lock operating mechanism unlocks the lock to enable movement of the blocking mechanism from the blocking position when the cashbox is positioned within the recess. This invention is characterized by a first digital circuit for generating a first digital code and a second digital circuit for sensing if the first code is the same as the second code stored therein. One of the circuits is mounted in the housing and the other mounted in the cashbox. An electrical contact mechanism connects the circuits when the cashbox is received within the recess. A motor is coupled to the blocking mechanism and is controlled by a control mechanism which is responsive to the second circuit sensing that the first and second codes are the same. The motor causing the blocking mechanism to be moved from the blocking position to permit access to the cashbox.
