Moreover, the banknote collection cassette 41 has a door (not shown) provided with a lock, and the door lock cannot be opened unless the person has a specific authority with a key. Moreover, in the banknote collection cassette 41, banknotes are stacked in a stacked state on the stage 41a. Here, the stage 41a is movable in the vertical direction in FIG. 2, and the position of the stage 41a is lowered every time bills are stacked on the stage 41a.

  A shutter (not shown) is also provided on the upper surface of the coin collection cassette 42. When the coin storage unit 40 is set in the housing 11 with the coin collecting cassette 42 stored in the money storage unit 40, the shutter is opened. For this reason, when the coin delivery process is performed, the shutter is opened, and the coins can be sent from the withdrawal temporary storage unit 37 to the coin collection cassette 42 via the storage chute 39. On the other hand, when the money storage unit 40 is pulled out from the housing 11, the shutter is closed. The coin collecting cassette 42 has a door (not shown) provided with a lock, and the door lock can be opened only by a person having a specific authority with a key.

  Here, as described above, the banknote processing device 20 and the coin processing device 30 have management authority on the store side. For this reason, the various processing with respect to the banknote and coin in the storage and delivery part 27 in the banknote processing apparatus 20 and the storage and delivery part 34 in the coin processing apparatus 30, and access to the deposit / withdrawal information and cash amount data of this banknote and coin are Only an operator with authority on the store side can perform it. On the other hand, since the money storage part 40 has the management authority in the collection | recovery trader side, collection | recovery of the banknote and coin in the money storage part 40 can be performed only by the collection specific person of a collection | recovery trader.

  Next, various other mechanisms provided in the money handling machine 10 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, on the upper surface of the housing 11 of the money handling machine 10, an operation unit 45 for an operator to give various commands to a control unit 15 (described later) of the money handling machine 10, and money A display unit 44 for displaying the processing contents of money in the processing machine 10 is provided. Here, the operation unit 45 includes, for example, a numeric keypad, a confirmation key, a start key, a cancel key, and a reset key. When the operator presses each key, various operations are performed on the control unit 15 of the money handling machine 10. The command can be performed. The display unit 44 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD).

  Further, on the front surface of the housing 11, a printer 43 that prints money processing contents and the like in the money handling machine 10 and a card reader 46 for confirming the operation authority of the operator are provided. The card reader 46 reads ID information of an ID card carried by the operator.

  Next, the control part 15 which controls each structural member in the money processor 10 is demonstrated using FIG. The control unit 15 is installed in the housing 11 of the money handling machine 10.

  As shown in FIG. 4, each component of the banknote processing apparatus 20 (for example, a transport unit 25, an identification unit 26, a storage and feeding unit 27, a banknote stage 28, a banknote storage unit 29, a deposit temporary storage unit is included in the control unit 15. 50), each component of the coin processing device 30 (for example, the coin feeding unit 33, the transport unit 35, the identification unit 35a, the sorting unit 36, the storage feeding unit 34, the deposit temporary storage unit 52, the withdrawal temporary storage unit 37, etc. ), Money storage unit 40, printer 43, display unit 44, operation unit 45, card reader 46, storage unit 47, communication interface unit 48, and the like.

  The control unit 15 is configured to receive a banknote identification result by the identification unit 26 of the banknote processing apparatus 20 and a coin identification result by the identification unit 35 a of the coin processing apparatus 30. In addition, information such as an input from the operation unit 45 or an operator's ID information read from the card by the card reader 46 is sent to the control unit 15.

  Further, when the money handling machine 10 is operated, the control unit 15 confirms the authority of the operator based on the ID information of the operator input from the operation unit 45 or the card reader 46. ing. Moreover, the control part 15 controls each structural member of the banknote processing apparatus 20 and the coin processing apparatus 30, or controls the display part 44, the printer 43, etc. FIG.

  The control unit 15 transmits / receives signals to / from an external device such as a host terminal via the communication interface unit 48.

  The storage unit 47 stores information such as the total number of bills and coins stored in each storage and feeding unit 27 of the banknote processing device 20 and each storage and feeding unit 34 of the coin processing device 30 (ie, the total amount). (High stock information) is stored. In addition, the storage unit 47 stores information related to the processing contents of the banknotes in the banknote processing device 20 and the processing contents of the coins in the coin processing device 30 as a processing history. Further, in the present embodiment, the storage unit 47 stores the remaining total amount that is the total amount of money stored in each storage and feeding unit 27 and 34 and the amount of money to be left in each storage and feeding unit 27 and 34. Information relating to the number of remaining money for each denomination, which is the number of money for each denomination, is stored. The remaining total amount, which is the total amount of money stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34, and the number of denominations of money to be left in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34, stored in the storage unit 47 Information related to the number of remaining money for each denomination will be described with reference to FIG.

  As described above, the total amount of money to be withdrawn from the money handling machine 10 in the morning as a change reserve by each delivery driver and the configuration of the number of denominations are determined in advance. Specifically, for each delivery driver, for example, seven thousand-yen bills, three 500-yen coins, twelve 100-yen coins, three 50-yen coins, thirteen-yen coins 13, five-yen coins 3 as a change reserve A total of 10,000 yen coins composed of one piece and five 1 yen coins are withdrawn from the money handling machine 10. Here, in the business office where the money handling machine 10 is installed, when, for example, 10 delivery drivers withdraw money as change reserves from the money handling machine 10 every morning, each delivery driver removes the money handling machine 10 from the money handling machine 10. Before the money is withdrawn, a total of 100,000 yen of money must be left in the storage and feeding sections 27 and 34. Further, it is necessary to leave 70 thousand-yen bills in the storage and feeding unit 27 in which the thousand-yen bills are stored in the banknote processing device 20, and 30 in each storing and feeding unit 34 in the coin processing device 30. It is necessary to leave 500 Yen coins, 120 100 Yen coins, 30 50 Yen coins, 130 10 Yen coins, 30 5 Yen coins, and 50 1 Yen coins. In the table shown in FIG. 5, the remaining total amount (that is, 100,000 yen) that is the total amount of money stored in each of the storage and feeding sections 27 and 34 and the storage and feeding sections 27 and 34 are left. Information relating to the number of remaining money for each denomination, which is the number of money to be denominated, is shown, and such information is stored in the storage unit 47. Further, the “remaining amount per denomination” in the table shown in FIG. 5 means a value obtained by multiplying the denomination amount in the leftmost column of the same column by the remaining number per denomination corresponding to this denomination. In addition, the “cumulative remaining amount” refers to the total value of the remaining amounts for each denomination corresponding to the denomination in the leftmost column of the same column and all other denominations whose amount is smaller than this denomination. That is, for example, the accumulated remaining amount relating to the 10 yen coin is 1 yen × 50 sheets + 5 yen × 30 sheets + 10 yen × 130 sheets = 1500 yen.

  Further, the remaining total amount that is the total amount of money stored in each storage and feeding unit 27 and 34 stored in the storage unit 47 and the denomination of money to be left in each storage and feeding unit 27 and 34 The remaining number of denominations for each denomination can be changed by the operation unit 45 by the operator. For example, when the number of delivery drivers who withdraw money as change reserve or deposit money as sales from the money handling machine 10 changes, the sales office where the money handling machine 10 is installed. By changing the number of delivery drivers using the operation unit 45, the remaining total amount that is the total amount of money stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 stored in the storage unit 47, The number of remaining money per denomination, which is the number of denominations of money to be left in the storage and feeding sections 27 and 34, is also changed.

  Next, the operation of the money handling machine 10 having such a configuration will be described. In the present embodiment, the money handling machine 10 can perform banknote and coin deposit processing, withdrawal processing, replenishment processing, collection processing, delivery processing, and the like. In addition, operation | movement of the money processor 10 as shown below is performed when the control part 15 controls each structural member of the banknote processing apparatus 20 and the coin processing apparatus 30. FIG.

  First, banknote and coin deposit processing will be briefly described. When depositing banknotes or coins in the money handling machine 10, when an operator inserts banknotes into the banknote insertion slot 21 of the banknote processing apparatus 20 or coins into the coin insertion slot 31 of the coin processing apparatus 30, The bills and coins thrown into the housing 11 are identified by the identifying units 26 and 35a and then stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 for each denomination. More specifically, banknotes and coins thrown into the inside of the housing 11 are temporarily stored in the respective deposit temporary storage units 50 and 52 after being identified by the identification units 26 and 35a. Thereafter, when the operator inputs a deposit confirmation command through the operation unit 45, banknotes and coins are sent from the respective deposit temporary holding units 50 and 52 to the respective storage and feeding units 27 and 34. On the other hand, after the banknotes and coins are temporarily held in the respective deposit temporary holding units 50 and 52, when the operator inputs a return instruction instead of the payment confirmation by the operation unit 45, the respective temporary deposit holding units 50 and 52 Bills and coins are sent to the bill return port 23 and the coin return port 38.

  Next, banknote and coin withdrawal processing will be briefly described. When the banknotes and coins are dispensed in the money handling machine 10, when the operator inputs the number of banknotes or coins to be dispensed, the total amount of money, etc., by the operation unit 45, The banknotes stored in the storage and feeding sections 27 are fed out from the storage and feeding sections 27 and sent to the banknote return port 23, or the coins stored in the storage and feeding sections 34 of the coin processing device 30 are stored and fed out. After being fed out from the unit 34 and held in the withdrawal temporary holding unit 37, it is sent to the coin return port 38. Thus, the operator can take out banknotes and coins to be withdrawn from the banknote return port 23 and the coin return port 38 to the outside of the housing 11.

  Next, banknote and coin replenishment processing will be briefly described. The replenishment processing of banknotes and coins includes replenishing banknotes to each storage and feeding unit 27 of the banknote processing device 20 for each denomination, or replenishing each storage and feeding unit 34 of the coin processing device 30 for each denomination. This is the process to do. When performing replenishment processing of banknotes and coins in the money handling machine 10, when an operator inserts banknotes into the banknote insertion slot 21 of the banknote processing apparatus 20 or coins into the coin insertion slot 31 of the coin processing apparatus 30, The bills and coins thrown into the housing 11 are identified by the identifying units 26 and 35a and then stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 for each denomination.

  Next, a collection process of banknotes and coins will be briefly described. When a collection processing command is sent to the control unit 15 by the collection specific person of the collection company via the operation unit 45, the control unit 15 unlocks the door of the money storage unit 40, and the banknote collection cassette 41 or the coin The collection cassette 42 can be taken out. When a collection specific person of the collection company takes out each cassette, replaces it with an empty cassette and closes the door, the number of collected banknotes and coins for each denomination, total amount, or data for each denomination The collected data is transmitted by the communication interface unit 48 to an external device (specifically, a computer or the like installed at the management center of the collection company).

  Next, banknote and coin delivery processing will be briefly described. Here, the delivery process of banknotes and coins means that banknotes stored in the storage and feeding sections 27 of the banknote processing apparatus 20 are sent to the banknote collection cassette 41 of the currency storage section 40 or each storage and feeding of the coin processing apparatus 30. This refers to a process of sending the coins stored in the section 34 to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the money storage section 40. As described above, since the management authority of the money storage unit 40 is set on the collection trader side, the management authority of banknotes and coins sent to the money storage unit 40 from each storage and feeding part 27 and each storage and feeding part 34 is set. It is changed from the management authority on the store side to the management authority on the collection company side. The amount of the storage / feeding unit 27 and the storage / feeding unit 34 decreases by the amount of money delivered, which is the amount of money and the number of denominations of banknotes and coins that have been delivered, The bank balance increases by the amount of money delivered, which is the amount of money and the number of denominations of bills and coins that have been delivered. The money delivery amount is stored in the storage unit 47 as delivery data together with the date and time, the operator ID, and the like.

  Further, in the money handling machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when depositing bills and coins, the total amount of bills and coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 is stored in the storage unit 47. When the total remaining amount is larger than the remaining total amount of money, the above-described delivery processing of banknotes and coins is continued. Such an operation will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  In the money handling machine 10 according to the present embodiment, after the banknote or coin deposit processing for sending the banknote or coin inserted into the banknote insertion slot 21 or the coin slot 31 to the storage and feeding sections 27 and 34 is completed, The control unit 15 determines whether or not the total amount of bills and coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 is larger than the remaining total amount stored in the storage unit 47 (STEP 1). Here, when the control unit 15 determines that the total amount of bills and coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 is equal to or less than the remaining total amount stored in the storage unit 47 (STEP 1). “NO”), banknotes and coins are not delivered, and the money handling machine 10 enters a standby state. On the other hand, when the control unit 15 determines that the total amount of bills and coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 is larger than the remaining total amount stored in the storage unit 47 (“YES” in STEP 1) ]), Bills and coins are delivered.

  Specifically, first, whether or not the number of 1-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is greater than the number of remaining 1-yen coins per denomination stored in the storage unit 47 (that is, 50). Is determined by the control unit 15 (STEP 2). When the control unit 15 determines that the number of 1-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is 50 or less (“NO” in STEP 2), the delivery process is not performed for 1-yen coins. On the other hand, when the control unit 15 determines that the number of 1-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is greater than 50 (“YES” in STEP 2), 50 1-yen coins are stored and fed out. The remaining one-yen coin is sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40 (STEP 3). Specifically, when the number of 1-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is 70, for example, 50 1-yen coins remain in the storage and feeding unit 34 and 20 1-yen coins. Is sent to the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40. In addition, when 50 1-yen coins are left in the storing and feeding unit 34 and all other 1-yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the currency storing unit 40, they are stored in the storing and feeding units 27 and 34. When the total amount of banknotes and coins is less than the remaining total amount stored in the storage unit 47, the total amount of banknotes and coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 is stored in the storage unit 47. The number of 1-yen coins that is the same as the total remaining amount stored in is stored in the coin feeding cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40 from the storage and feeding unit 34. That is, the number of 1-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is 70, for example, but the total amount of banknotes and coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 is 100,010 yen, for example. In this case, 60 1-yen coins are left in the storage and feeding unit 34, and 10 1-yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the currency storage unit 40. When more 1-yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40, the total amount of banknotes and coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 is stored in the storage unit 47. This is because it will be less than the total remaining amount.

  Next, the control unit determines whether or not the number of 5-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is greater than the number of remaining 5-yen coins stored in the storage unit 47 for each denomination (ie, 30). 15 (STEP 4). When the control unit 15 determines that the number of 5-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is 30 or less (“NO” in STEP 4), the delivery process is not performed for 5-yen coins. On the other hand, when the control unit 15 determines that the number of 5-yen coins stored in the storage / feeding unit 34 is greater than 30 (“YES” in STEP 4), the coins are stored in the storage / feeding units 34. Each storing and feeding unit stores a predetermined number of 5-yen coins so that the total amount of 1-yen coins and 5-yen coins is equal to or greater than the accumulated remaining amount of 5-yen coins stored in the storage unit 47 (ie, 200 yen). The other 5-yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40 (STEP 5). More specifically, when the number of 1-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is the number of remaining coins per denomination (that is, 50), 30 coins (number of remaining coins per denomination) of 5 yen coins Is stored in the storage and feeding unit 34, and other 5-yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the currency storage unit 40. On the other hand, when the number of 1-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is smaller than the number of remaining coins for each denomination, 31 or more 5-yen coins are left in the storage and feeding unit 34 and other 5-yen coins Is sent to the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40. In this case, the number of 1-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is smaller than the number of remaining coins per denomination, but the 1-yen coins and 5-yen coins stored in each storage and feeding unit 34 About a certain delivery driver when money as a change reserve is withdrawn from the money handling machine 10 because the total amount is equal to or greater than the sum of the remaining amount for each denomination of 1 yen coin and 5 yen coin One 5-yen coin can be paid out instead of five 1-yen coins, thus preventing the total amount of money as change reserve given to the delivery driver from being less than 10,000 yen can do. Further, when the predetermined number of 5-yen coins are left in the storing and feeding unit 34 and all other 5-yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the currency storing unit 40, they are stored in the storing and feeding units 27 and 34. When the total amount of banknotes and coins stored is less than the remaining total amount stored in the storage unit 47, the total amount of banknotes and coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 is stored. Collect coins of the coin storage unit 40 from the storage and delivery unit 34 in a number (including zero) of five yen coins that is the same as or slightly larger than the total remaining amount stored in the unit 47. It is sent to the cassette 42.

  Next, the control unit determines whether or not the number of 10 yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is larger than the number of remaining 10 yen coins stored in the storage unit 47 for each denomination (ie, 130). 15 (STEP 6). If the control unit 15 determines that the number of 10-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is 130 or less (“NO” in STEP 6), the 10-yen coin is not delivered. On the other hand, when the control unit 15 determines that the number of 10-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is greater than 130 (“YES” in STEP 6), the coins are stored in the storage and feeding units 34. The predetermined number of 10 yen so that the total amount of 1 yen coin, 5 yen coin, and 10 yen coin is equal to or greater than the accumulated remaining amount of 10 yen coins stored in the storage unit 47 (that is, 1,500 yen). The coins are left in each storage and feeding unit 34, and other 10 yen coins are sent to the coin collection cassette 42 of the currency storage unit 40 (STEP 7). More specifically, when the number of 1-yen coins and 5-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is the remaining number for each denomination, 130 (remaining number for each denomination) 10-yen coins are The other 10 yen coins are left in the storage and feeding unit 34 and sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the currency storage unit 40. On the other hand, when at least one of the 1-yen coins and 5-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is smaller than the number of remaining coins for each denomination, 131 or more 10-yen coins are stored and delivered. The other 10 yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40. In this case, the number of one-yen coins and five-yen coins stored in the storing and feeding unit 34 is smaller than the number of remaining coins for each denomination, but 1 stored in each storing and feeding unit 34. The total amount of yen coins, 5 yen coins, and 10 yen coins is equal to or greater than the sum of the remaining amounts for each denomination of 1 yen coins, 5 yen coins, and 10 yen coins. Further, when the predetermined number of 10-yen coins are left in the storing and feeding unit 34 and all other 10-yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the currency storing unit 40, they are stored in the storing and feeding units 27 and 34. When the total amount of banknotes and coins stored is less than the remaining total amount stored in the storage unit 47, the total amount of banknotes and coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 is stored. Collect coins in the coin storage unit 40 from the storage and delivery unit 34 with the number of 10-yen coins (including zero) that is the same as or slightly larger than the total remaining amount stored in the unit 47. It is sent to the cassette 42.

  Next, the control unit determines whether or not the number of 50 yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is greater than the number of remaining 50 yen coins per denomination stored in the storage unit 47 (ie, 30). 15 (STEP 8). When the control unit 15 determines that the number of 50-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is 30 or less (“NO” in STEP 8), the delivery process is not performed for 50-yen coins. On the other hand, when the control unit 15 determines that the number of 50-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is greater than 30 (“YES” in STEP 8), the coins are stored in the storage and feeding units 34. The predetermined amount is set so that the total amount of the 1-yen coin, 5-yen coin, 10-yen coin, and 50-yen coin is equal to or greater than the accumulated remaining amount of 50-yen coin stored in the storage unit 47 (that is, 3,000 yen). The remaining 50 yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the money storage section 40 while leaving the number of 50 yen coins in each storage and feeding section 34 (STEP 9). More specifically, when the number of 1-yen coins, 5-yen coins, and 10-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is the number of remaining coins for each denomination, 30 sheets (number of remaining coins for each denomination) The 50 yen coins are left in the storage and feeding unit 34, and the other 50 yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the currency storage unit 40. On the other hand, when at least one of the 1-yen coins, 5-yen coins and 10-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is smaller than the number of remaining coins per denomination, 31 or more 50-yen coins are The remaining 50 yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40 while remaining in the storage and feeding unit 34. In this case, the number of one-yen coins, five-yen coins, and ten-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is smaller than the number remaining for each denomination. The total amount of 1 yen coins, 5 yen coins, 10 yen coins, and 50 yen coins is equal to or greater than the total remaining amount for each denomination of 1 yen coin, 5 yen coin, 10 yen coin, and 50 yen coin It becomes. Further, when the predetermined number of 50-yen coins are left in the storing and feeding unit 34 and all other 50-yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the currency storing unit 40, they are stored in the storing and feeding units 27 and 34. When the total amount of banknotes and coins stored is less than the remaining total amount stored in the storage unit 47, the total amount of banknotes and coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 is stored. 50 coins of the number of coins (including 0) that are the same as or slightly larger than the remaining total amount stored in the unit 47 are collected from the storage and feeding unit 34 into the coin storage unit 40. It is sent to the cassette 42.

  Next, the control unit determines whether or not the number of 100 yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is larger than the number of remaining 100 yen coins stored in the storage unit 47 for each denomination (ie, 120). 15 (STEP 10). When the control unit 15 determines that the number of 100-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is 120 or less (“NO” in STEP 10), the delivery process is not performed for 100-yen coins. On the other hand, when the control unit 15 determines that the number of 100-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is greater than 120 (“YES” in STEP 10), the coins are stored in the storage and feeding units 34. The total amount of 1-yen coins, 5-yen coins, 10-yen coins, 50-yen coins, and 100-yen coins is equal to or greater than the total remaining amount of 100-yen coins stored in the storage unit 47 (ie, 15,000 yen). As described above, a predetermined number of 100 yen coins are left in each storage and feeding section 34, and other 100 yen coins are sent to the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage section 40 (STEP 11). More specifically, when the number of 1-yen coins, 5-yen coins, 10-yen coins, and 50-yen coins stored in the storing and feeding unit 34 is the number of remaining coins for each denomination, 120 (for each denomination) The remaining 100 yen coins are left in the storing and feeding unit 34, and other 100 yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the currency storing unit 40. On the other hand, when at least one of the 1-yen coins, 5-yen coins, 10-yen coins and 50-yen coins stored in the storing and feeding unit 34 is smaller than the number of remaining coins per denomination, 121 or more The 100 yen coins are left in the storage and feeding unit 34, and other 100 yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the currency storage unit 40. In this case, the number of one-yen coins, five-yen coins, ten-yen coins and 50-yen coins stored in the storing and feeding unit 34 is smaller than the number of remaining coins for each denomination. The total amount of 1-yen coin, 5-yen coin, 10-yen coin, 50-yen coin and 100-yen coin stored in section 34 is 1-yen coin, 5-yen coin, 10-yen coin, 50-yen coin and 100-yen coin It becomes more than the total value of the remaining amount for each denomination. Further, when the predetermined number of 100-yen coins are left in the storing and feeding unit 34 and all other 100-yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the currency storing unit 40, they are stored in the storing and feeding units 27 and 34. When the total amount of banknotes and coins stored is less than the remaining total amount stored in the storage unit 47, the total amount of banknotes and coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 is stored. Collecting 100 yen coins in the same amount as the total remaining amount stored in the unit 47 or slightly exceeding the total remaining amount (including 0) from the storage and feeding unit 34 to collect the coins in the currency storage unit 40 It is sent to the cassette 42.

  Next, the control unit determines whether or not the number of 500 yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is larger than the number of remaining 500 yen coins stored in the storage unit 47 for each denomination (ie, 30). 15 (STEP 12). When the control unit 15 determines that the number of 500 yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is 30 or less (“NO” in STEP 12), the delivery process is not performed for the 500 yen coins. On the other hand, when the control unit 15 determines that the number of 500 yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is greater than 30 (“YES” in STEP 12), the coins are stored in the storage and feeding units 34. The total remaining amount of 500 yen coins in which the total amount of 1 yen coin, 5 yen coin, 10 yen coin, 50 yen coin, 100 yen coin, and 500 yen coin is stored in the storage unit 47 (that is, 30,000 yen) ) A predetermined number of 500 yen coins are left in each storing and feeding unit 34 and the other 500 yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the currency storing unit 40 (STEP 13). More specifically, when the number of 1-yen coins, 5-yen coins, 10-yen coins, 50-yen coins, and 100-yen coins stored in the storing and feeding unit 34 is the remaining number for each denomination, 30 The remaining 500 yen coins (the number of remaining coins per denomination) are left in the storage and feeding section 34, and other 500 yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the money storage section 40. On the other hand, when at least one of the 1-yen coin, 5-yen coin, 10-yen coin, 50-yen coin, and 100-yen coin stored in the storing and feeding unit 34 is smaller than the remaining number per denomination, 31 or more 500 yen coins are left in the storing and feeding unit 34, and all other 500 yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the currency storing unit 40. In this case, the number of one-yen coins, five-yen coins, ten-yen coins, 50-yen coins, and 100-yen coins stored in the storing and feeding unit 34 is smaller than the number of remaining coins per denomination. The total amount of 1-yen coin, 5-yen coin, 10-yen coin, 50-yen coin, 100-yen coin and 500-yen coin stored in each storing and feeding unit 34 is 1-yen coin, 5-yen coin, 10-yen coin , 50 yen coins, 100 yen coins, and 500 yen coins, which are equal to or greater than the sum of the remaining amounts for each denomination. Further, when the predetermined number of 500-yen coins are left in the storing and feeding unit 34 and other 500-yen coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the money storing unit 40, they are stored in the storing and feeding units 27 and 34. When the total amount of banknotes and coins is less than the remaining total amount stored in the storage unit 47, the total amount of banknotes and coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 is stored in the storage unit. A coin collecting cassette of the coin storage unit 40 from the storage and feeding unit 34 is fed with a number of 500 yen coins (including zero) that is the same as or slightly exceeding the total remaining amount stored in the storage unit 47. 42 to send.

  Next, the control unit determines whether or not the number of thousand yen bills stored in the storage and feeding unit 27 is greater than the number of remaining thousand yen bills stored in the storage unit 47 for each denomination (ie, 70). 15 (STEP 14). When the control unit 15 determines that the number of thousand yen bills stored in the storage and feeding unit 27 is 70 or less (“NO” in STEP 14), the delivery process is not performed for the thousand yen bills. In this case, a delivery process for banknotes of denominations other than one thousand yen (specifically, two thousand yen bills, five thousand yen bills, and ten thousand yen bills) stored in each storing and feeding unit 27 is performed. It becomes like this. On the other hand, when the control unit 15 determines that the number of thousand-yen banknotes stored in the storage and feeding unit 27 is greater than 70 (“YES” in STEP 14), the bills are stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34. The remaining total amount (ie, 100, 100 yen, 5 yen coin, 50 yen coin, 50 yen coin, 100 yen coin, 500 yen coin, and 1000 yen bill) stored in the storage unit 47. (000 yen) or more, a predetermined number of thousand yen banknotes are left in each storage and feeding section 27, and other thousand yen banknotes and other denomination banknotes are sent to the banknote collection cassette 41 of the currency storage section 40 ( (STEP 15). More specifically, when the number of 1-yen coins, 5-yen coins, 10-yen coins, 50-yen coins, 100-yen coins, and 500-yen coins stored in the storing and feeding unit 34 is the remaining number for each denomination. Leave 70 thousand yen banknotes (the number of remaining money per denomination) in the storing and feeding unit 27 and send other thousand yen banknotes and banknotes of other denominations to the banknote collection cassette 41 of the currency storing unit 40. To do. On the other hand, at least one of the 1-yen coins, 5-yen coins, 10-yen coins, 50-yen coins, 100-yen coins, and 500-yen coins stored in the storing and feeding unit 34 is less than the number of remaining coins per denomination. In that case, 71 or more thousand yen bills are left in the storing and feeding unit 27, and other thousand yen bills and bills of other denominations are sent to the bill collecting cassette 41 of the currency storing unit 40. In this case, the number of one-yen coins, five-yen coins, ten-yen coins, 50-yen coins, 100-yen coins and 500-yen coins stored in the storing and feeding unit 34 is more than the remaining number of denominations per denomination. The total amount of 1-yen coin, 5-yen coin, 10-yen coin, 50-yen coin, 100-yen coin, 500-yen coin, and 1,000-yen banknote stored in each storing and feeding unit 27, 34 is the remaining total. More than the amount. Further, when the predetermined number of thousand yen banknotes are left in the storage and feeding section 27 and the other thousand yen banknotes and other denominations are sent to the banknote collection cassette 41 of the money storage section 40, each storage and feeding section. When the total amount of banknotes and coins stored in the storage units 27 and 34 is less than the total remaining amount stored in the storage unit 47, the banknotes stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 Thousand-yen bills and other denominations whose number of coins is the same as the total remaining amount stored in the storage unit 47 or slightly exceeding the total remaining amount (including 0) Is sent from the storage and feeding unit 34 to the banknote collection cassette 41 of the currency storage unit 40.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, when the depositing process of banknotes and coins is performed, the control unit 15 stores the total amount of banknotes and coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 in the storage unit 47. In the case where the total remaining amount is larger than the stored total amount, the number of remaining banknotes and coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 in order from the denomination of the amount is stored in the storage unit 47. It is determined whether or not this is the case (STEP 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14), and the number of bills and coins stored in the storage and feeding sections 27 and 34 is stored in the storage section 47. When the number of denominations is greater than the remaining number per denomination, banknotes and coins associated with the denominations corresponding to the storage and feeding sections 27 and 34 are delivered (STEPs 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15). In addition, when the depositing process of banknotes and coins is performed, the control unit 15 determines the total amount of banknotes and coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 from the remaining total amount stored in the storage unit 47. When the number of coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 corresponding to a certain denomination is smaller than the number of remaining coins per denomination stored in the storage unit 47 (STEPs 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 “NO”), coins of the denomination stored in the storage and feeding sections 27, 34, and the total amount of banknotes and coins of one or more other denominations whose amount is larger than this denomination The delivery process of banknotes and coins of other one or more denominations is carried out so that is equal to or more than a predetermined amount. Here, the predetermined amount is the number of remaining money per denomination corresponding to each denomination stored in the storage unit 47 with respect to a denomination and one or more other denominations whose amount is larger than this denomination. It is the total value of the remaining amount for each denomination, which is a value obtained by multiplying the amount of denomination. Specifically, for example, when the number of 1-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is 10 and less than the remaining number of denominations stored in the storage unit 47 (that is, 50), With respect to the 5-yen coin having a larger denomination than the 1-yen coin, the delivery process of other 5-yen coins is performed so that 38 5-yen coins remain in the storing and feeding unit 34 instead of 30 coins remaining per denomination. Is done. In this case, the number of 1-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 after the delivery processing of banknotes and coins is smaller than the number of remaining coins per denomination, but stored in each storage and feeding unit 34. Since the total amount of 1-yen coins and 5-yen coins is equal to or greater than the total remaining amount for each denomination of 1-yen coins and 5-yen coins, money as a change reserve is withdrawn from the money handling machine 10. In the case of a delivery driver, one 5 yen coin can be paid out instead of 5 1 yen coins, so that the total amount of money as change reserve given to the delivery driver is from 10,000 yen Can be prevented. Even in such a case, the number of 1-yen coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 is made closer to the number of remaining coins per denomination by continuously performing banknote and coin deposit processing by another delivery driver. Will be able to.

  In the above description, an example is described in which banknotes and coins are transferred after banknotes and coins are deposited in the money handling machine 10, but the present embodiment is such an example. There is no limit. For example, the control unit 15 sends the banknotes and coins inserted into the banknote insertion port 21 and the coin insertion port 31 to the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 in the middle of the depositing process of banknotes and coins. , 34 when the total amount of banknotes and coins is greater than the remaining total amount stored in the storage unit 47 (ie, 100,000 yen), the banknote insertion slot 21 and the coin insertion slot 31 Processing such as sending directly to the banknote collection cassette 41 and the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40 may be continued. Specifically, each storage and feeding unit 27 and 34 is in the middle of a depositing process of banknotes or coins such that a banknote or a coin inserted into the banknote insertion port 21 or the coin insertion port 31 is sent to each storage and feeding unit 27 or 34. Are stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 when the total amount of banknotes and coins stored in the storage unit 47 is larger than the remaining total amount stored in the storage unit 47 (ie, 100,000 yen). When the number of banknotes and coins is equal to or more than the number of remaining coins stored in the storage unit 47, the banknotes and coins inserted into the banknote insertion slot 21 and the coin insertion slot 31 are identified by the identification units 26 and 35a. Later, it is sent directly to the banknote collection cassette 41 and the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40 without being sent to the storage and feeding units 27 and 34. On the other hand, when the number of coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 corresponding to a certain denomination is smaller than the number of remaining coins stored in the storage unit 47, the coin is inserted into the bill insertion slot 21 or the coin insertion slot 31. Among the banknotes and coins identified by the identification units 26 and 35a, the denomination coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 and one or more other denominations having a larger amount than the denomination The banknotes and coins of one or more denominations corresponding to the total amount of the banknotes and coins are sent to the storing and feeding units 27 and 34, and the remaining banknotes and coins are stored. Instead of being sent to the feeding units 27 and 34, the bill is directly sent to the banknote collection cassette 41 and the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40. Here, as described above, the predetermined amount is a denomination corresponding to each denomination stored in the storage unit 47 with respect to a certain denomination and one or more denominations having a larger amount than this denomination. This is the total value of the denomination remaining amount for each denomination, which is a value obtained by multiplying the number of each remaining deposit by the amount of the denomination.

  As yet another example, the control unit 15 is in the middle of depositing bills or coins such that the bills or coins inserted into the bill insertion slot 21 or the coin slot 31 are sent to the storage and feeding sections 27 and 34. After the banknotes and coins are temporarily held in the deposit temporary storage units 50 and 52, the total amount of the banknotes and coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 is stored in the storage unit 47. When it is larger than the total amount (that is, 100,000 yen), the process of directly sending from the respective deposit temporary holding units 50 and 52 to the banknote collection cassette 41 and the coin collection cassette 42 of the currency storage unit 40 is continued. It may be. Specifically, in the depositing process of banknotes and coins, after the banknotes and coins are temporarily held in the respective deposit temporary holding units 50 and 52, the total of banknotes and coins stored in the respective storing and feeding units 27 and 34 When the amount is larger than the remaining total amount stored in the storage unit 47 (that is, 100,000 yen), the number of bills and coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 is stored in the storage unit 47. When the number of denominations is equal to or more than the remaining number of denominations, banknotes and coins held in the respective deposit temporary holding units 50 and 52 are not sent to the storage and feeding units 27 and 34, and the banknote collection cassette 41 of the currency storage unit 40 is used. Or the coin collection cassette 42. On the other hand, when the number of coins stored in the storage and feeding unit 34 corresponding to a certain denomination is smaller than the number of remaining coins per denomination stored in the storage unit 47, the temporary depositing units 50 and 52 temporarily store the deposits. Among the banknotes and coins held in the storage and feeding sections 27 and 34, and the banknotes and coins of one or more denominations whose amount is larger than this denomination. One or a plurality of denominations or coins of one or more denominations whose total amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount are sent to the storage and feeding units 27 and 34, and the remaining banknotes and coins are stored and fed to the storage and feeding units 27 and 34. It is sent directly to the banknote collection cassette 41 and the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40 without being sent to the banknote. Here, as described above, the predetermined amount is a denomination corresponding to each denomination stored in the storage unit 47 with respect to a certain denomination and one or more denominations having a larger amount than this denomination. This is the total value of the denomination remaining amount for each denomination, which is a value obtained by multiplying the number of each remaining deposit by the amount of the denomination.

  As described above, according to the money handling machine 10 of the present embodiment and the money handling method using such a money handling machine 10, the storage unit 47 stores the money to be left in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34. Information relating to the remaining total amount that is the total amount and the number of remaining money by denomination that is the number of denominations of money to be left in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 is stored. Further, when the money depositing process is performed, when the total amount of money stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 is larger than the remaining total amount stored in the storage unit 47, each storage and feeding unit The total amount of money stored in 27 and 34 is substantially the same as the remaining total amount stored in the storage unit 47 (more specifically, the same amount as the remaining total amount or slightly larger than the remaining total amount). And the bill insertion slot 21 and the coin insertion slot 31 (insertion unit) so that the number of coins stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 approaches the remaining number of denominations stored in the storage unit 47. A money feeding process is performed in which money is sent from the storage and feeding sections 27 and 34 or the respective temporary deposit storage sections 50 and 52 to the banknote collection cassette 41 or the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage section 40 (collection section). Yes. In this case, every time a money deposit process is performed, a predetermined remaining total amount of money is left in the storage and feeding sections 27 and 34, and other money is stored in the banknote collection cassette 41 and the coin collection of the money storage section 40. By sending the money to the cassette 42, it is possible to frequently perform money feeding processing for sending money to the banknote collection cassette 41 or the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the time required for money feeding processing such as delivery processing of money each time and to reduce the amount of money stored in the storage and feeding sections 27 and 34.

  More specifically, in the conventional money handling machine, the process of sending the money to be collected from each storage and feeding unit to the collection cassette is performed collectively at the end of the day's business. In this case, there is a problem that the amount of money stored in each storage and feeding unit increases by the end of the day's work, and therefore the amount of money to be managed on the store side increases. It was. Specifically, when an error occurs in such a money handling machine, all the money stored in each storage and feeding part is once withdrawn, and the money that has been withdrawn after the error is released is deposited and stored. The operation of storing in the feeding unit is performed, but there is a problem that it takes time to perform such operation when the amount of money stored in each storing and feeding unit is large. In addition, when there is a large amount of money stored in each storage and feeding unit at the time of completion of the day's business, the money to be collected at the end of the day's business is collected from each storage and feeding unit. There was a problem that it took a long time for delivery processing to be sent to. On the other hand, in the money handling machine 10 and the money handling method according to the present embodiment, each time a money deposit process is performed, a predetermined remaining total amount of money is left in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34, and the rest. By sending money to the banknote collection cassette 41 and the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40, it is possible to frequently perform the money feeding process of sending money to the banknote collection cassette 41 and the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40. Therefore, such a problem of the conventional money handling machine can be solved.

  In addition, according to the money handling machine 10 of the present embodiment and the money handling method by such a money handling machine 10, when money is deposited, the money stored in the storage and feeding sections 27 and 34. Only when the total amount of money is larger than the remaining total amount stored in the storage unit 47, the bill insertion slot 21, the coin insertion slot 31 (insertion section), the storage and feeding sections 27 and 34, or the temporary deposit storage section 50. 52, the money feeding process for sending the money to the banknote collection cassette 41 and the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40 is performed. It is possible to prevent the amount of money given to the operator from becoming less than a predetermined amount (specifically 10,000 yen). For this reason, when money as a change reserve is withdrawn from the money handling machine 10, the amount of money to be withdrawn is insufficient even though the number of denominations of money changes from the predetermined number composition. There is no end to it. In addition, by performing money deposit processing by a plurality of delivery drivers, even if the number of coins stored in the storage and feeding sections 27 and 34 for a certain denomination of money is smaller than the number of remaining coins per denomination, Each time a depositing process is performed, the number of money of the denomination stored in the storage and feeding unit can be brought close to the number of remaining money for each denomination.

  In addition, the money processor and money processing method by this Embodiment are not limited to said aspect, A various change can be added.

  For example, the money handling machine according to the present embodiment is not limited to a combination of the banknote handling apparatus 20 and the coin handling apparatus 30.

  Further, the money handling machine according to the present embodiment is not limited to one that performs both money depositing and dispensing processing. As a money handling machine according to the present embodiment, a deposit-only machine is used in which no bill return port or coin return port is provided in the bill processing device or the coin processing device and no money withdrawal process is performed. Good.

  Moreover, as a money processor by this Embodiment, what a banknote processing apparatus or a coin processing apparatus does not provide a payment temporary storage part may be used. In such a money handling machine, when the banknote processing apparatus or the coin processing apparatus performs a deposit process of banknotes or coins, the banknotes or coins inserted into the banknote slot or the coin slot are identified by the identification unit. It will be sent directly to the storage and feeding section.

  Further, a higher order terminal is communicably connected to the money handling machine 10 as shown in FIG. 1 or the like as an external device, and a control unit provided in the higher order terminal is the same as the control unit 15 provided in the money handling machine 10.

That is, when a money depositing process is performed in the money handling machine 10 by sending a command signal from the control unit provided in the host terminal to the control unit 15 of the money handling machine 10, the storage and feeding units 27 and 34. When the total amount of money stored in the storage unit 47 is larger than the remaining total amount stored in the storage unit 47, the total amount of money stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 is stored in the storage unit 47. The banknote insertion slot 21 so that the number of money stored in the storage and feeding units 27 and 34 approaches the remaining number of denominations stored in the storage unit 47. Or the coin input port 31 (insertion unit), each storage and feeding unit 27, 34, or each deposit temporary storage unit 50, 52 to send money to the bill recovery cassette 41 or coin recovery cassette 42 (collection unit) of the currency storage unit 40 Feed It may be adapted to sense is performed. Further, in the storage unit provided in the upper terminal, the remaining total amount that is the total amount of money to be left in each storage and feeding unit 27 and 34 and the denomination of money to be left in each storage and feeding unit 27 and 34 Information relating to the number of remaining money per denomination, which is the number of each money, may be stored. In this case, the control unit and the storage unit of the external device such as the host terminal are also included in the money handling machine according to the present invention.
