ABSTRACT:
A paper currency acceptor is provided having an antifraud device comprising a linear actuator having an armature selectively moveable between two positions along its longitudinal axis, the actuator being mounted so that the longitudinal axis of the armature is oriented perpendicularly to the planar surface of the currency passageway. An elongated stop comb is mounted directly to the end of the armature nearest the passageway, the stop comb having a plurality of elongated parallel tines extending therefrom perpendicularly toward the planar surface of the passageway. The tines of the comb are arranged in at least one row along the longitudinal axis of the comb, and the longitudinal axis of the comb is oriented transversely to the longitudinal axis of the passageway. The planar members defining the passageway each have an aperture aligned with the longitudinal axis of each tine. When the actuator position is selected extending the armature, the tines of the comb are pushed through the planar member apertures creating an obstruction in the passageway upstream of a deposited bill so that if a leash is attached to the bill, the bill cannot be retrieved from the passageway by pulling the leash.
