An ATM currency cassette with a currency overload prevention arrangement. The
cassette includes a currency stack push plate having a flexible arm. The arm becomes
flexed by currency pressing against it due to an overloaded condition. The cassette
lid includes a rib. The rib engages the flexed arm during closing of the lid to
prevent full closure of the lid. With the lid prevented from closure, the currency
loader can become aware of the overloaded situation and remove excess currency
from the cassette.
