Due to its compactness, the banknote receiving device J is used, for example, in coin-operated amusement machines. When the amusement machines are ready for operation, the device 1 is also powered by the amusement machine power supply unit. The banknote fed from the 2-bank tester is accepted, checked for authenticity and value. Upon receipt of the received banknote, the transport device on the banknote testing device side feeds it into the banknote dispensing opening 9 of the transport system 5. The transport system 5 brings the banknote to the stacking bottom area 13. Next, the actuator 19 is activated by lowering the pressure roller 11 against the stacking bank. By means of an actuator of the scissor lifting system 17, the banknote is pressed into the stacking cash register 12 of the banknotes. The actuator of the lifting system will return to its starting position in the next.

If the received and accepted banknote is handed over to the transport system 5, the banknote is transported to the inlet / outlet port 20. Upon reaching the inlet / outlet port 20, a photocell existing on the transport path is activated and connected to the stacking system control unit 6 and interrupted. The value of the banknote contained in the transport system 5 is transmitted to the turret container control unit 7. Depending on the value of the current banknote, the corresponding reeling magazine 23 is rotated by the servo drive 31 of the front disc 22 by assigning the banknote inlet / outlet hole 29 of the respective take-up magazine 23 to the inlet / outlet hole 20 of the transport system 5. which engages with the locking pulley 33 from the snap notch 32. Latch 34 is associated with a photocell which is coupled to the actuator control unit. Upon reaching a predetermined latching position, the banknote stacking unit control unit 4 activates the take-up magazine control unit 23. The take-up magazine control unit 23 thus activates the unwinding spool 24 of the transport system and the banknote collecting spool 25. Further, the transport system 5 guides the banknote to the banknote inlet / outlet opening 29 by activating the take-up magazine photocell 23. The take-up magazine control unit 23 activates the conveyor belt unwinding spool 24 and the banknote collecting coil 25, not shown. The banknote is now wound on a collecting spool of 25 banknotes.
