| Comments |
Philips Financial Terminal Systems was a Dutch subsidiary involved in the development and testing of automated cash-handling equipment during the late twentieth century. Training notes of this type — denominated abstractly and marked "Specimen" — were produced for use in ATM and banknote-processing machine calibration, giving technicians and bank engineers standardized test media without putting real currency at risk during trials.
