ABSTRACT:
An anti-theft device for Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) provides for the blurring or defacing of banknotes which are stored within ATM banknote cassettes/containers within the ATM upon a breach of security of the ATM, the breach of security being either a break-in attempt or the attempted removal of the entire ATM from its location. An indelible dye or ink, stored under pressure within a tank internal to the ATM unit, is caused to be released into a distribution manifold, which is integral with the banknote cassette and in communication with the interior thereof, upon receipt of an actuating signal. The actuating signal is preferably developed by an electrical device which triggers the release of the ink into the cassette. In one embodiment, connection and disconnection of the distribution manifold to the tank occurs automatically without user interface when cassettes are changed.
