ABSTRACT:
A rotating bill acceptor mounted inside a currency accepting machine is disclosed herein. The bill acceptor includes a bill validator which accepts (or rejects) cash inserted by users of the machine and a secure cash box which stores the bills out of the machine users' reach. The entire bill acceptor is pivotally mounted on a bracket in the machine interior. During normal operation, the bill acceptor is positioned such that its bill validator portion extends through an opening in a locked door on the machine's housing. Thus, the bill validator is available to accept cash while the cash box is protected within the machine interior. When it becomes necessary to remove the cash collected by the bill acceptor, a collection worker unlocks the door on the machine's housing, thereby accessing a mechanism which allows the bill acceptor to rotate out of its normal position and into a position in which the cash box is accessible through the unlocked door. The collection worker may then replace the full cash box with an empty cash box.
