    Secure transfer of banknotes
    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention generally relates to a system and method for the safe transfer of banknotes and more particularly to systems and methods that use an ink box to damage banknotes if the security is violated.

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    Banknote transfer is generally carried out using security bags (or envelopes) that contain a tamper-resistant seal. This allows the shipper to seal a specific number or type of banknotes in each bag and the receiver to verify that they arrive as they are shipped.
    Typically, several smaller bags can be sealed in a larger bag to insure that a group of bags arrives untouched. The recipient can then easily use the banknotes without having to re-sort and / or count them again. In general, such bags are made from materials that protect the banknotes and prevent liquids from reaching them.
    Banknotes are also susceptible to theft during transport (referred to as “cash in transit” (CIT), cash on the way), for example armored cars that transport banknotes are attacked and their contents have been stolen. To prevent such attacks, theft-repellent systems, such as ink boxes, also known as CIT boxes, have been developed to discourage cash-in-transit theft. One commonly used method uses ink boxes that release indelible ink on the banknotes in the box when the box is sabotaged. Typically, a CIT system can contain multiple trays, each serving as an ink box. The drawers are in the CIT system
    positioned and the system is locked and armored. If an attempt is made to gain unauthorized access to the banknotes, the ink application system is triggered and the contents of the boxes are damaged.
    To discourage theft, it is necessary to damage almost 100% of the banknotes over at least 10% of their surface, so that the banknotes become useless and it makes no sense to hijack such a transport. However, the use of one or more layers of standard polyethylene tamper-evident security bags to group the banknotes into the boxes obstructs the ink application process.
    One way to improve the ink application ability is to use security bags made from a mesh material to allow the ink to reach the banknotes through the holes of the mesh material. One problem with the use of a mesh material bag is that the mesh material is not suitable for printing (for example, a bar code or a warning message) and for forming a tamper-resistant seal. Therefore, one side of the security bag is made from standard bag material such as polyethylene and the other side is made from the mesh material. However, the non-meshed side serves as a barrier and prevents the ink from spreading and damaging nearly 100% of the banknotes.
    Summary of the invention
    An aspect of an embodiment of the invention relates to a method of transferring banknotes into an ink box system using security bags. The banknotes are initially placed in security bags with tamper-resistant seals. The security bags have two faces, a first face made of standard bag material (e.g. polyethylene) and a second face made of a mesh material that allows liquids to enter the bag and reach the banknotes. The security bags are designed to allow the placing of up to a specific number of banknotes in each bag. Optionally, the width of the security bag is designed so that an extra portion remains and the extra portion can be folded over, the first face thereof meeting the first face of the rest of the security bag.
    In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the first face has perforations at various locations along the face of the bag, particularly in the area of the fold.
    In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, each of the security bags is placed with the folded portion at the bottom, thereby forming an ink collecting base. Multiple security bags are placed side by side in an ink box to insure damage to all banknotes in the event of a security breach. In some embodiments of the invention, all security bags are placed with the first face facing a second face of the adjacent pocket. Alternatively, the security bags can be placed with the first face facing a first face of an adjacent pocket and the second face facing a second face of an adjacent pocket.
    In some embodiments of the invention, a larger security bag, referred to as an over-pack security bag, is used to group multiple security bags together to ensure that the entire group is not sabotaged. The over-pack bag is placed in the ink box with the security bags positioned inside it as if they were positioned directly within the ink box. The over-pack bag is positioned with the mesh material positioned up, facing the ink releasing system of the ink box.
    In some embodiments of the invention, multiple over-pack security bags can be used to group some of the security bags into one group and some into another group.
    Thus, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a method of secure transfer of banknotes is provided, including: loading banknotes into one or more security bags with a tamper-resistant seal, wherein the security bags have a first face including the seal and made from standard bag material, and a second face made from a mesh material that allows liquid to enter the bag, the width of the bags being wider than the width of the bank notes, so that when the bank notes are near one side of the bag, an extra portion remains, "folding over the extra portion of the security bag so that the first face of the bag faces the first face of the extra portion to form an ink collecting base," the first face has perforations, at least in the area of the ink collecting base, positioning of n the security bags in an ink box containing an ink delivery system that ejects ink from its top to its bottom if the ink box's security is violated! the ink collecting base being placed at the bottom of the box and the security bags extending up to the top of the box! closing the box, and reinforcing the ink application system of the box.
    According to a preferred method according to the invention, the aforementioned additional portion is between 1/6 and 1/3 of the width of the security bag.
    Yet another preferred method according to the invention is such that at least one row of perforations in the area of the ink collecting base are on the additional portion.
    In some embodiments of the invention, the method further comprises: positioning the security bags in a larger over-pack security bag instead of directly in the ink box and placing the over-pack security bag in the ink box; wherein the side of the over-pack security bag facing up is made from mesh material, and the side facing the bottom of the box is made from standard bag material.
    Optionally, the side that faces the bottom of the box contains perforations such as the smaller security pockets. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the security bags are aligned in the ink box so as to be positioned so that the first face of one bag faces the second face of the adjacent bag. Alternatively, the security bags in the ink box are aligned so as to be positioned so that the first face of one pouch to the first face of the pouch next to it, and the second pocket of the pouch faces the second face of the pouch next to it. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the perforations in the first face of the security bag form a matrix of perforations. Alternatively, the perforations on the first face of the security bag are randomly spread.
    The invention also relates to a device for the safe transfer of banknotes, which comprises a security bag, the security bag having a first surface made of standard bag material and having a tamper-resistant seal on the first surface, and a second surface made of a mesh material that allows liquid to enter the bag, the pocket containing a plurality of banknotes in a stack, the bag being wider than the width of the banknotes inserted therein so that an additional portion of the bag is determined, wherein the extra portion is folded over the rest of the bag around a fold so that the first face of the extra portion faces the first face of the rest of the bag, thereby forming an ink-collecting base, the first face is at least perforated in the area of the ink collecting base, wherein the security bag is arranged in a closed ink box includes a reinforced ink delivery system that ejects ink from its top to its bottom when the ink box security is breached, the bag being arranged in the ink box such that the ink collecting base is at the bottom of the ink box and the rest of the bag extends upwards to the top of the box.

    Detailed description
    Figure 1 is a schematic illustration of a security bag 100 with banknotes 120 placed therein, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, security bags 100 meet specific limitations as described below, and will be placed according to specific rules to achieve a desired level of protection for the banknotes during the transfer. Optionally, the method applies to any money item that loses its value by being damaged with an indelible ink, so that it can be replaced later without causing a serious loss to the owner. In the case of banknotes, the banknotes can be considered unusable, even if they are not withdrawn, since the method ensures damage to almost 100% of the banknotes. Similarly, the government can replace banknotes that have been shipped using the method described herein. The security bag 100 includes a tamper-resistant seal 130 so that the recipient of such a bag is assured that the contents were not tampered with during transportation. Optionally, the security bag 100 includes a first face 110 of a standard bag material such as polyethylene, paper or other suitable material to make it possible to form a tamper-resistant seal 130, and, optionally, to print a bar code or other details on the security bag 100 .
    In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the second face 140 of the security bag 100 is made of a mesh material so that ink can pass through the mesh side of the security bag 100 and damage the contents inside. In some embodiments of the invention, the first face contains perforations 150, for example, to allow ink to enter the security bag 100 from specific locations on the first face. Optionally, the perforations 150 form a matrix with a preselected distance (x, y) between the perforations 150 along the length (x) and width (y) of the security bag. Alternatively, the perforations 150 can be spread in a random manner. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the perforations 150 have a diameter of between 1 mm and 10 mm. Alternatively, the perforations may be larger or smaller.
    In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the length of the security bag 100 is designed to make it possible to store up to a specific number of banknotes 120 (e.g., 50 or 100 banknotes), thereby allowing the tamper-resistant seal 130 to be sealed, and without leaving a substantial overhang at the bottom of the bag. Optionally, in contrast, the width of the security bag 100 is designed to leave an additional portion with at least one row of perforations 150 to be folded over to the banknotes (the first face 110 to the first face 110 around an ink collecting base to shape). Optionally, the overhang portion is between 1/6 to 1/3 of the width of the security bag 100. Alternatively, the overhang portion may be larger or smaller.
    Figure 2 is a schematic illustration of a cross-sectional view of security bags 100 placed in an ink box 210, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the ink box 210 is designed to have a width that corresponds approximately to the length of the security bag 100, which, as explained above, is designed to be related to the length of banknotes 120.
    In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a plurality of security pockets 100 are arranged in a row with the first face 110 of one security pocket facing the second face 140 of the subsequent pocket. Optionally, the security bags 100 can be loosely placed side by side with the folded portion (marked as fold 240) that forms a broad collecting base extending from the side of the security bags 100. Alternatively, the security bags 100 can be pressed tightly together, the folded portion forming a narrow collecting base or even a collecting base with the fold almost parallel to the bag. In some embodiments of the invention, the ink box 210 may have slits on the bottom of the ink box 210 to guide the positioning of the security bags 100.
    Optionally, if the security of the ink box 210 is violated, for example by being pried open without using a key, then ink drops 230 are lowered or ejected from the top of the box to the bottom. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a layer of ink 220 is formed at the bottom of the box. Optionally, the ink drops 230 enter the security bag 100 on the second face 140 made of the mesh material while being lowered. Additionally, some ink drops 230 enter the first face 110 through the matrix of perforations 150. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the ink collecting base formed by the fold 240 collects ink that falls from the top of the ink box 210, causing it is caused to enter the security bag 100 through the at least one row of perforations in the fold, as mentioned above. Optionally, ink from layer of ink formed on the bottom of the ink box 210 also seeps in from the second face 140 through the mesh material. Optionally, as a result of the aforementioned positioning, banknotes 120 are damaged at least at the bottom of all banknotes 120, at the top of some of the banknotes 120 and in particular the two banknotes on both sides of the stack of banknotes in the security bag 100. It should be noted that the ink is absorbed by the banknotes 120 because of the capillary attraction, which causes the ink to seep up from the bottom and damages at least between half an inch to an inch up the entire bottom of the banknotes 120. It should also be noted that random positioning, for example with security bags on top of each other, would leave part of the banknotes unmarked.
    Figure 3 is a schematic illustration of a perspective view of the first face 110 of a folded security bag 110 for placing in an ink box 210 according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, and Figure 4 is a schematic illustration of a perspective view of the second face of a folded security bag 110 to be placed in the ink box 210 according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. Optionally, multiple security bags 100 are placed side by side in the ink box 210, as shown in Figure 2 and described above.
    Figure 5 is a schematic illustration of an over-pack bag 510 with a plurality of security bags 100 disposed therein, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. Optionally, the over-pack bag 510 is a larger tamper-proof security bag but otherwise identical to the security bag 100. In some embodiments of the invention, multiple security bags 100 are placed side by side in the larger over-pack bag 510, and placed in the ink box 210 according to the method described above, so that the entire group of security bags 100 is protected by a tamper-resistant seal 550 of the over-pack bag 510, in favor of the receiver. Optionally, when the over-pack bag 510 is placed, the first face 530 with the standard bag material is positioned down and the second face 540 with the mesh material is positioned up in the ink box 210 so that the ink drops 230 are free to flow down over the multiple security bags 100, as explained above.
    It should be noted that random placement of the security bags 100 directly in the ink box 210 or in the overpack bag 510 will result in arbitrary ink application to banknotes 120 and will not provide the required results, which essentially damage all banknotes 120.
    Figure 6 is a flow chart 600 of a method of arranging security bags 100 with banknotes 120 therein, in an ink box 210, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a user wishing to transfer banknotes or other money bills loads (610) the banknotes into a collection of security bags 100. Optionally, each bag can be loaded with a specific number or type of banknotes, for example, one bag is loaded with 50 banknotes of 100 Euros and one bag with 75 banknotes of 50 Euros. Optionally, each security bag 100 can be addressed to a different person or other check-out safe at the recipient's location. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the number of banknotes loaded into a specific security bag 100 is limited by its size so that it can be placed with an additional portion folded over.
    In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the additional portion of each bag is folded over (620) (the first face 110 to the first face 110) to form an ink collecting base at the bottom of the bag when placed in the ink box 210 Optionally, the ink collecting base has perforations 150 in it so that the ink will seep into the bag.
    In some embodiments of the invention, a larger over-pack security bag 510 is used (630) to group multiple security bags 100 together when placed in the ink box 210. Optionally, security bags 100 are positioned side by side (650) as described above within an over-pack security bag 510. Alternatively, the security bags can be positioned side by side directly in the ink box 210 (640) without being grouped together in a larger bag.
    If the over-pack security bag 510 is used, the second face 540 of the over-pack security bag 510 is positioned with the mesh material up so that the ink drops 230 will be free to enter the over-pack security bag 510. Optionally, the first face 530 of the security bag 510, with the standard material, also has perforation holes to allow ink 220 to enter the security bag from the floor of the ink box 210.
    In some embodiments of the invention, the ink box 210 is designed so that it can only be opened from above and only when positioned upright so that it cannot be positioned to interfere with the ink application process. Optionally, the top can include a lock releasing mechanism to allow opening of the box from the side only if the top is facing up. Alternatively or additionally, the ink application process may be based on high-speed ejection of the ink to minimize gravity dependence.
    Figure 7 is an alternative arrangement of security bags within an ink box according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
    Optionally, security bags 100 can be arranged with the second face 140 (mesh material) facing a second face 140, and a first face 110 (standard material) facing a first face 110, as opposed to having a first face 110 facing a second plane 140, as explained and illustrated above in Figure 2 and Figure 5.
    It is to be understood that the methods and apparatus described above can be varied in many ways, including omitting or adding steps, changing the order of steps and the type of devices used. It must be understood that different characteristics can be combined in different ways. In particular, not all of the features shown above in a specific embodiment are required in each embodiment of the invention. Further combinations of the above properties are also considered to be within the scope of some embodiments of the invention.
    It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to what is particularly shown and described above. Instead, the scope of the present invention is defined only by the claims that follow.
