The invention relates to a combination of an apparatus for the transfer of fungible goods or services, for example, cashless payment for merchandise or services, with a transfer device having marked thereon a plurality of cancellable value units in the form of at least first and second types of optical markings different from one another, and arranged in a predetermined cyclical sequence on at least one track of the transfer device, without the occurrence of any gaps, but with a transition region formed between adjacent markings. The apparatus includes a reading device, inclusive of a light source, and at least first and second light sensors associated with the first and second types of optical markings, respectively. The reading device is arranged for reading and generating signals from the markings, and from the transition regions, and an activatable erasing device erases the markings in dependence of the number of value units to be cancelled. A transport device effects a relative movement between the transfer device, and respectively, the reading and erasing devices along the track, and a control device controls the movement of the transport and erasing devices, disables the transport device, and activates the erasing device, when the erasing device is near one of the transition regions.

The combination of an apparatus for the transfer of fungible goods or services, for example, cashless payment for merchandise or services with transfer means having marked thereon a plurality of cancellable value units in the form of at least first and second types of optical markings different from one another, said markings being arranged in a predetermined cyclical sequence on at least one track of said transfer means, so as to preclude the occurrence of any gap between adjacent markings, each individual marking modifying light impinging thereon in a characteristic manner, a transition region being formed between said adjacent markings, said apparatus comprising: reading means, including a light source, and at least first and second light sensors associated with said first and second types of optical markings, respectively, said reading means being arranged for reading and generating signals from said markings, and from said transition regions, activatable erasing means for erasing said markings in dependence of the number of value units to be cancelled, transport means for effecting a relative movement between said transfer means, and respectively, said reading means and said erasing means, along said track, said reading means and said erasing means being movable near to said transition regions, and control means for controlling the movement of said transport means, and of said erasing means, for evaluating the signals from said reading means, and for disabling said transport means and activating said erasing means upon said erasing means being near one of said transition regions, so as to erase said one transition region.
