Correlation of suspect currency note received by ATM to the note depositor

The apparatus enables identifying data relating to a suspect currency note received by an ATM to be correlated with identifying data relating to the depositor of the suspect note. A note validator can assess the validity of received notes. Data can be generated that is usable to identify each suspect note and identify the person from whom the suspect note was received. The data usable to identify a suspect note can correspond to its serial number. The data usable to identify the person can correspond to an account number and/or a biometric input. The suspect note/depositor identifying data can be stored in correlated relation in a data store enabling each suspect note to be linked to a person. Thus, the validity of a received note can be determined, a suspect note can be identified, and correlating data usable to identify the suspect note depositor can be stored.
