How ATM read money

ATM process

The full name of the ATM is an automated teller machine. The first ATM was opened in New York City in 1939 and it got lots of its names like an automated teller, banking machine, cash point, and a money machine. Now it is called an automated teller machine or ATM. So like the bank teller humans, it replaces the ATM, which identifies you, knows your limits, and provides access to financial transactions.

In today’s world, ATM faces many challenges.

  1. Make sure that you and your card are legit.
  2. Find your account information.
  3. Accurately complete the transactions.
  4. Do it all while protecting an on-board vault that stores thousands.

How does an ATM work?

The machine starts by checking your credentials. The black strip looks solid, where you insert your card, with the 2 readers that see what you don’t. Millions of tiny magnets with positive or negative charges process a binary code. The first reader in the machine looks for a special code that conforms to the card is real, entered by you. The second reader grabs your account number and password to check against what you have just inputted in or keyed in.

ATM in networking

Once the password is confirmed by the automated teller machine, then it connects with your bank’s network. It gives the machine its marching orders and remotely controls access to the on-board vault. The trays in the vault hold different denominations with up to a thousand bills in each. The one tray in the ATM is left empty for deposits.

Cash machine & deposits

When you drop in a check or money with an envelope, it goes into a bin and is manually sorted later. Some of the machines take deposits without an envelope. It’s able to hand count bills, as this also allows the machine to refill itself. For withdrawals money in the automated teller machine, the vacuum-driven suction cups grab one bill at a time and feed it out through a roller system. By delivering bills one by one from the vaults keeps you from getting overpaid.

Inside ATM

Each bill freezes through rollers. Sensors calculate the width of the paper about the thickness of a coat of the paint. If the paper is thicker, the machine figures that two or more bills are stuck together. Any thinner the bill worn or fake. The sensors catcher these errors and the bills get sent to a reject bin. That is likely what’s happening when you hear a pause in the machine counting.
