This would be a great kickstarter project. You may want to modify it though so the station just prints a check or some other instrument other than cash or you will end up with a lot of broken Mechanical Turk Stations.

Yea, broken machines or people getting mugged right after cashing out are both concerns. But the people who would benefit most from something like this would be least likely to have a bank account.
Tons of businesses cash checks without a bank account. Another concern is kiosk hacking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSu8z3vrfcY
The kiosks actually coming up missing would be a bigger concern than hacking.
