Which device accepts paper money?

• A. bank note acceptor (BNA)
• B. cashbox
• C. bet
• D. bingo machine

Answer: (A)

A bank note acceptor is the device designed to take paper money, verify its authenticity and denomination, and credit the player’s balance or the machine. It’s built specifically to process banknotes and turn them into usable credits. A cashbox, by contrast, only stores money after it has been accepted; it doesn’t validate or accept notes. A bet is just the act of wagering, not a hardware device. A bingo machine is the game itself, which may handle money in various ways, but the component that accepts paper money is the bank note acceptor.
