Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the money processing apparatus, the money processing system, and the money processing method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

<Concept of money deposit / withdrawal machine>
First, the concept of the money deposit / withdrawal machine according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the concept of the money deposit / withdrawal machine according to the first embodiment. The money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 shown in FIG. 1 is a money processing device installed in a store together with a change machine 200.

The change machine 200 is installed at a cash register in the front area where a product shelf is installed in a store of a commercial facility such as a supermarket or a convenience store, and processes money handed over by a customer to a cash register in exchange for the product. At the same time, it is a device that processes the withdrawal of money as change.

The currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100 is installed in the backyard area of the store, and processes the deposit of the sales proceeds collected from the change machine 200 and also processes the withdrawal of the change reserve to be replenished in the change machine 200. It is a processing device.

The change machine 200 and the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 can each be equipped with a storage cassette 300. When the person in charge collects the sales from the change machine 200, the change machine 200 stores the banknotes as sales in the storage cassette 300, then removes the storage cassette 300, and the person in charge brings the removed storage cassette 300. Then move to the location of the currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100. After that, when the storage cassette 300 is attached to the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100, the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 pays out the bills from the storage cassette 300 and processes the deposit. When replenishing the change reserve to the change machine 200, the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 stores the banknotes as the change reserve in the storage cassette 300, then removes the storage cassette 300 and takes charge of the removed storage cassette 300. A person brings it and moves to the place of the change machine 200. After that, when the storage cassette 300 is attached to the change machine 200, the change machine 200 pays out the bills from the storage cassette 300 and processes the deposit.

An IC (Integrated Circuit) tag 304 having a non-volatile storage unit is attached to the storage cassette 300. The currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100 and the change machine 200 can write data to the IC tag 304 and read data from the IC tag 304, and when the money is stored in the storage cassette 300, the money of the stored money. The monetary quantity data indicating the species and quantity is written in the IC tag 304. Then, when money is withdrawn from the storage cassette 300, the quantity data of money is read from the IC tag 304, and it is determined whether or not the money matches the denomination and quantity of the withdrawn money.

In this way, the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 cooperates with the change machine 200 by depositing / withdrawing money via the storage cassette 300, collecting sales from the change machine 200 and replenishing the change reserve to the change machine 200. Can be done without touching the money directly.

Here, when practicing the operation of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100, or when demonstrating the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100, it is possible to practice efficiently if cooperation with the change machine 200 is indispensable. Since it is not possible, there is a need to practice with the currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100 alone. Also, if deposits and withdrawals in practice and demonstrations are included in sales, sales cannot be managed accurately.

Therefore, the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 does not require the change machine 200 and has a function of performing deposit / withdrawal processing without affecting the management of sales.

Specifically, when the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 accepts the practice start operation by the operator, it starts a practice mode different from the normal deposit / withdrawal (1). In this practice mode, the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 can receive the storage cassette 300 for practice and perform the deposit process.

The storage cassette 300 stores a practice flag in the IC tag 304, and when this practice flag is set to "on", it is treated as a storage cassette 300 for practice. In the storage cassette 300 for practice, the quantity data of the IC tag 304 can be set to an arbitrary value, and may not match the quantity of money actually stored in the storage cassette 300. That is, when the practice flag is "on", the quantity data of the IC tag 304 is used as the practice data. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the quantity data of the IC tag 304 shows money for 270000 yen, and the amount of money actually stored in the storage cassette 300 is 16000 yen.

When the currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100 receives the storage cassette 300 for practice, the currency quantity data is read from the IC tag 304 (2) and used as the currency quantity data for practice for display on the operation display unit. Therefore, it is possible to realize the same display control as when depositing the money collected from the change machine 200, and to practice and demonstrate. Further, the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 executes a deposit process of paying out money from the storage cassette 300 and storing it inside (3).

When the money collected from the change machine 200 is deposited, the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 transports the 5,000-yen bill and the 1,000-yen bill to the corresponding bill storage units, and transports the 10,000-yen bill to the collection cassette. On the other hand, when depositing in practice mode, the 5,000-yen bill and the 1,000-yen bill are transported to the corresponding bill storage section, but the collection cassette is not used and the 10,000-yen bill is transported to the reject section. do. This is because the money stored in the collection cassette is subject to management by a police company or the like and cannot be taken out by the store operator. It is also possible to set not to use the 10,000 yen bill, which is a high-value bill, when depositing in the practice mode.

Further, in the practice mode, the currency quantity data for practice read from the IC tag 304 and the currency delivered from the storage cassette 300 are not compared and are not reflected in the sales data, which is the currency collected from the change machine 200. It is different from the time of deposit. However, the renewal of the amount of money in the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 based on the stored money is executed in the same manner as when the money collected from the change machine 200 is deposited.

In this way, the currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100 accepts the attachment of the storage cassette 300 after the practice start operation as the practice currency deposit operation, and uses the currency quantity data of the IC tag 304 attached to the storage cassette 300 as the practice data. By controlling the display on the operation display unit, the operator can efficiently practice the deposit of money. Further, when the currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100 accepts the practice currency withdrawal operation, the currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100 updates the practice data based on the withdrawal information included in the practice currency withdrawal operation to the operator. It is possible to efficiently practice withdrawal of money, but the details of this practice withdrawal will be described later.

The lock mechanism 184 is a mechanism for locking the drawer portion of the packaging coin storage unit 180 inside the housing 101, and when the drawer portion is locked inside the housing 101, the drawer portion is locked inside the housing 101. It cannot be pulled out from the front side, and the storage and removal of packaged coins is restricted. The weighing scale 186 measures the weight of the packaged coins stored in the packaged coin storage unit 180. Based on the weight of the packaged coins measured by such a weight scale 186, the control unit 102 detects the number of packaged coins stored in the packaged coin storage unit 180.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the operation display unit 104, the communication unit 105, and the storage unit 106 are connected to the control unit 102, respectively. The operation display unit 104 is composed of a touch panel or the like provided on the upper part of the housing 101, and is stored in each of the operation screen for the operator to operate, the bill processing unit 110, the coin processing unit 150, and the packaging coin storage unit 180. Information related to the amount of coins being used is displayed on the operation display unit 104. Further, in such an operation display unit 104, the operator can input various commands to the control unit 102 by touching an operation button on the operation screen with a finger. The communication unit 105 can transmit and receive signals to and from various devices provided inside and outside the store.

The storage unit 106 is a storage device made of a non-volatile memory or the like, and stores the current amount data 106a, the sales data 106b, and the practice sales data 106c. The amount data 106a indicates the amount of money stored in each of the banknote processing unit 110, the coin processing unit 150, the packaging coin storage unit 180, the collection cassette 140, and the collection cassette 170. The sales data 106b is data for managing the sales of the store based on the sales amount collected from the change machine 200 and the data read from the IC tag 304 of the storage cassette 300 at the time of collecting the sales amount. The practice sales data 106c indicates the convenience sales used for display in the practice mode. The practice sales data 106c does not need to match the sales data 106b and can be set arbitrarily. It can also be updated by deposit processing in practice mode.

Further, the control unit 102 has a practice operation reception unit 102a, a withdrawal practice processing unit 102b, and a deposit practice processing unit 102c. The practice operation reception unit 102a accepts the practice start operation by the operator to start the practice mode, and receives the practice end operation by the operator to end the practice mode.

The withdrawal practice processing unit 102b is a processing unit that performs withdrawal processing in the practice mode. The withdrawal practice processing unit 102b accepts the withdrawal operation performed in the practice mode as the practice currency withdrawal operation and starts the withdrawal process for practice. In the withdrawal processing in this practice mode, the withdrawal practice processing unit 102b sets the practice flag of the IC tag 304 to "on", transfers money from the currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100 to the storage cassette 300, and transfers money to the IC tag 304. Write the amount of money in the storage cassette (quantity data for practice). The actual amount of money in the storage cassette corresponds to the money transported from the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100, but the amount of money written in the IC tag 304 is used as the amount of money data for practice, so it is the same as the actual amount of money in the storage cassette 300. It is not necessary to match, and it can be determined, for example, by the withdrawal information input from the operator. However, the current amount data 106a of the currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100 is updated according to the denomination and the number of coins actually transported to the storage cassette 300.

The deposit practice processing unit 102c is a processing unit that performs deposit processing in the practice mode. The deposit practice processing unit 102c accepts the deposit operation (for example, mounting of the storage cassette 300) performed in the practice mode as the deposit money withdrawal operation, and starts the deposit process for practice. In the deposit processing in this practice mode, the deposit practice processing unit 102c transfers money from the storage cassette 300 to the currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100, provided that the practice flag of the IC tag 304 of the storage cassette 300 is "on". .. At this time, the 10,000-yen note is transported to the reject section 224, and other coins are transported to the corresponding storage section. (For example, a 1000-yen bill is transported to a bill storage unit 134, and a 5000-yen bill is transported to a bill storage unit 136).

Further, the deposit practice processing unit 102c collects from the change machine 200 by reading the amount (money quantity data for practice) from the IC tag 304 and using it for display on the operation display unit 104 in the deposit process in the practice mode. Achieve the same display control as when depositing money, and have them practice and demonstrate.

In the deposit processing in the practice mode, the deposit practice processing unit 102c does not compare the amount of money read from the IC tag 304 with the money paid out from the storage cassette 300, and does not reflect it in the sales data 106b. However, the current amount data 106a of the currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100 is updated according to the denomination and the number of coins actually transported from the storage cassette 300.

<Structure of storage cassette 300>
Next, the configuration of the storage cassette 300 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the storage cassette 300 has a casing 301 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and bills are stored in a laminated state inside the casing 301. Further, as described above, the storage cassette 300 is detachably mounted on the cassette mounting portion 126 of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100.

Further, an opening 302 is formed on the side surface of the casing 301 of the storage cassette 300. When the storage cassette 300 is mounted on the cassette mounting unit 126 of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100, the transport unit 130 provided in the bill processing unit 110 of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 is connected to the storage cassette 300 through the opening 302. You can send banknotes inside. Similarly, the banknotes stored in the storage cassette 300 can be sent out to the transport unit 130 of the banknote processing unit 110 of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 through the opening 302.

More specifically, inside the storage cassette 300, a bill feeding mechanism for feeding the bills stored in the storage cassette 300 from the opening 302 to the outside of the casing 301 is provided. Further, when the storage cassette 300 is mounted on the cassette mounting portion 126 of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100, power is transmitted from the bill processing unit 110 side of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 to the bill feeding mechanism of the storage cassette 300.

As described above, in the state where the storage cassette 300 is taken out from the cassette mounting portion 126 of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100, the banknotes stored in the storage cassette 300 cannot be drawn out to the outside of the casing 301. It is possible to improve the security of banknotes stored in the casing.

Further, an IC tag 304 is provided on the side surface of the casing 301 of the storage cassette 300. Then, when the storage cassette 300 is mounted on the cassette mounting portion 126 of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100, various information is provided on the IC tag 304 by the writing unit 128 provided in the cassette mounting portion 126 of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100. , And various information can be read from the IC tag 304 by the reading unit 129 provided in the cassette mounting unit 126 of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100. Specifically, the IC tag 304 can be written with the identification information of the storage cassette 300, the type of the storage cassette 300, the practice flag, the amount of money, and the like.

<Processing of money deposit / withdrawal machine>
Next, the processing of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 will be described. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of a withdrawal process of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100. The money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 sets the storage cassette type of the IC tag 304 to "change replenishment" and the practice flag to "off" in the withdrawal for actually replenishing the change to the change machine 200. .. At this time, the data such as the amount of money written in the IC tag is used for a comparative inspection (check) with the money withdrawn from the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 to the storage cassette 300. The actual amount of money in the storage cassette 300 is determined by the number of withdrawals of money, and the amount of money written in the IC tag 304 is also determined by the number of withdrawals. Therefore, the amount of money in the storage cassette 300 and the amount of money in the IC tag 304 match. It is necessary to. Further, the number of withdrawals from the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 to the storage cassette 300 is reflected in the amount data 106a of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100.

On the other hand, in the withdrawal practice in the practice mode, the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 sets the storage cassette type of the IC tag 304 to "change replenishment" and sets the practice flag to "on". At this time, the data such as the amount of money written in the IC tag is used for the management of the practice. The actual amount of money in the storage cassette 300 is determined by the number of withdrawals of money, but the amount of money to be written in the IC tag 304 can be set arbitrarily, and the amount of money in the storage cassette 300 and the amount of money in the IC tag 304 can be set arbitrarily. Discrepancies are acceptable. That is, in the practice mode, the data such as the amount of money written in the IC tag is used as the practice data. Further, the number of withdrawals from the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 to the storage cassette 300 is reflected in the amount data 106a of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of a deposit process of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100. In the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100, the storage cassette type of the IC tag 304 is set to "sales collection" in the deposit of the sales amount actually collected from the change machine 200. At this time, the practice flag is "off", and the data such as the amount of money read from the IC tag is used for a comparative inspection (check) with the money deposited in the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 from the storage cassette 300. .. Specifically, it is necessary that the money deposited from the storage cassette 300 and the amount of the IC tag 304 match. Further, the number of deposits from the storage cassette 300 to the currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100 is reflected in the amount data 106a and the sales data 106b of the currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100. Further, among the deposited coins, the 10,000-yen bill is transported to the collection cassette 140, and the other coins are transported to the corresponding storage unit.

On the other hand, in the deposit practice in the practice mode, the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 sets the storage cassette type of the IC tag 304 to "sales collection". At this time, the practice flag needs to be "on", and the data such as the current amount read from the IC tag is used for display on the operation display unit 104. Further, a discrepancy between the actual height of the storage cassette 300 and the height of the IC tag 304 is allowed. That is, in the practice mode, the data such as the amount of money written in the IC tag is used as the practice data. The currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100 does not reflect the data read from the IC tag 304 or the number of coins deposited from the storage cassette 300 in the sales data 106b, but reflects the number of coins deposited from the storage cassette 300 in the existing amount data 106a. .. Further, among the deposited coins, the 10,000-yen bill is transported to the reject section 124, and the other coins are transported to the corresponding storage section.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the practice mode in the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100. First, the practice operation reception unit 102a receives the practice start operation by the operator and starts the practice mode (step S101). After the start of the practice mode, the withdrawal practice processing unit 102b executes the withdrawal practice process (step S102), and the deposit practice processing unit 102c executes the deposit practice process (step S103). After that, the practice operation reception unit 102a accepts the practice end operation by the operator and ends the process related to the practice mode (step S104).

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a detailed processing procedure of the withdrawal practice process shown in FIG. First, the withdrawal practice processing unit 102b sets the practice flag of the IC tag 304 to "on" (step S201) and sets the storage cassette type to "change replenishment" (step S202). Further, the existing height of the IC tag 304 is set to an arbitrary value (step S203). After that, money is transferred from the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 to the storage cassette 300 (step S204), the amount data 106a of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 is updated (step S205), and the storage cassette is allowed to be removed (step S206). ). After step S206, the withdrawal practice processing unit 102b ends the withdrawal practice process and returns to the original process.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a detailed processing procedure of the deposit practice process shown in FIG. First, the deposit practice processing unit 102c accepts the mounting of the storage cassette 300 (step S301), reads the data of the IC tag 304, and determines whether or not the practice flag is “on” (step S302).

As a result of the determination, if the practice flag is not "on" (step S302; No), the deposit practice processing unit 102c outputs an error (step S306), ends the deposit practice process, and returns to the original process.

On the other hand, if the practice flag is "on" (step S302; Yes), the deposit practice processing unit 102c controls the operation display unit 104 based on the amount of money read from the IC tag 304 (step S303). Further, the deposit practice processing unit 102c controls to transfer money from the storage cassette 300 to the currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100 (step S304). In this transport, the transport destination of the 10,000-yen note is the reject section 224, and the transport destination of other coins is the corresponding storage section. After step S304, the deposit practice processing unit 102c updates the amount data 106a of the currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100 according to the denomination and the number of coins actually transported from the storage cassette 300 (step S305). After step S305, the deposit practice processing unit 102c ends the deposit practice process and returns to the original process.

FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram of the display screen of the operation display unit 104 in the practice mode. FIG. 12A shows a specific example of the display screen of the operation display unit 104 in the withdrawal practice. On the display screen of FIG. 12A, the message "Practicing withdrawal", the denomination and number of coins to be withdrawn, and the total withdrawal amount are displayed. Specifically, five 5,000-yen banknotes and five 1,000-yen banknotes are withdrawn, and the total withdrawal amount is "30,000 yen". These displays are based on the amount of money (money quantity data for practice) written in the IC tag 304, and do not need to match the money actually withdrawn to the storage cassette 300.

FIG. 12B shows a specific example of the display screen of the operation display unit 104 in the deposit practice. On the display screen of FIG. 12B, a message "Payment practice is in progress", a "manual input" button, a "practice end" button, a total total, and a slip total are displayed. The "manual input" button is used when the operator inputs the total value. The "End practice" button is used to end the practice mode.

The total amount is the total amount of money deposited from the storage cassette 300. The slip total is the total amount of sales in the change machine 200. When the change reserve is left in the change machine 200 and the sales proceeds are collected, the total amount and the slip total are separated from each other due to the remaining amount. In FIG. 12B, both the total sum and the slip total show the state of "270,000 yen". These displays are based on the amount of money (money quantity data for practice) read from the IC tag 304, and do not need to match the money actually deposited from the storage cassette 300.

In the description of FIGS. 9 to 12, after the practice mode is started, the withdrawal practice process is performed and then the deposit practice process is continuously performed. In this way, if the withdrawal practice process and the deposit practice process are continuously performed, the storage cassette removed in the withdrawal practice process can be used as it is for the deposit practice process. However, the withdrawal practice process and the deposit practice process do not necessarily have to be performed continuously, and can be performed independently.

When the withdrawal practice process is performed independently, the storage cassette 300 may be attached to the currency deposit / withdrawal machine 100 again as a post-process, all the money may be taken in, and the IC tag 304 may be cleared. Further, when the deposit practice process is performed independently, a storage cassette 300 for practice may be prepared in advance. Specifically, the practice flag of the IC tag 304 is set to "on", the height of the IC tag 304 is set to an arbitrary value, and money is transported to the storage cassette 300 as needed for practice. Storage cassettes can be prepared.

It is also possible to intentionally generate an error when practicing deposit and withdrawal, and practice dealing with the error. In dealing with this error, for example, it is possible to practice a procedure in which money is stopped in the middle of transportation and the operator takes out the money and clears the error. The money actually stored in the practice storage cassette 300 is used for practicing this error handling. You can also practice depositing and withdrawing packaged coins.

When such various exercises are possible, the exercise menu may be displayed on the operation display unit 104 when the exercise start operation is accepted, and the operator may select a desired exercise content. FIG. 13 is a specific example of the practice menu screen. On the practice menu screen shown in FIG. 13, "deposit practice", "withdrawal practice", "deposit error experience", "withdrawal error experience", "deposit practice (with packaging coins)", "withdrawal practice (packaging)" The operation buttons corresponding to "with coins)" are displayed, and when any of the operation buttons is operated, the corresponding practice is started.

As described above, in the first embodiment, the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100, which is a money processing device capable of depositing / withdrawing money, includes an operation display unit 104 that accepts operations by an operator and performs a predetermined display. When the practice currency withdrawal operation is accepted from the operation display unit 104, the predetermined practice data is updated based on the withdrawal information included in the practice currency withdrawal operation, and the practice currency is updated from the operation display unit 104. When the deposit operation is accepted, the display control of the operation display unit 104 is performed at least based on the practice data. Therefore, the operator can efficiently practice the deposit and withdrawal of money.

Further, in the first embodiment, the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 has a storage cassette 300, which is a money cassette, detachable from the cassette mounting portion 126, and is stored in an IC tag 304, which is a storage medium attached to the storage cassette 300. Data such as the amount of money can be used as practice data. Further, the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 makes it possible to update and use the practice data regardless of the money actually transported to / from the storage cassette 300.

When practicing depositing money, the destination of money can be changed as appropriate. Specifically, the 10,000-yen note is transported to the reject section 224, and other coins are transported to the corresponding storage section. This is because the 10,000-yen bill is transported to the collection cassette 140 at the time of normal deposit, but the money stored in the collection cassette 140 is subject to management by a police company or the like and cannot be taken out by the store operator.

Further, since the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 does not reflect the deposit / withdrawal related to the practice in the sales data 106b, it does not affect the sales management. However, the existing amount data 106a is managed accurately by updating it according to the actual transportation of money even during practice.

In the first embodiment, the case where the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 is used alone for practicing deposit / withdrawal has been described. However, in the present invention, the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 and the change machine 200 are linked to practice deposit / withdrawal. It does not prevent you from doing.

FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram of a case where the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 and the change machine 200 are linked to practice deposit / withdrawal. In the configuration shown in FIG. 14, a plurality of POS registers 290 are installed in the store. Further, the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 is connected to one of the plurality of POS registers 290, and the change machine 200 is connected to the other POS registers 290.

In the configuration shown in FIG. 14, the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 is connected to the POS register 290 and has a function as a change machine 200 (money deposit / withdrawal of money passed from the customer), and further. The deposit processing of the sales proceeds collected from the other change machine 200 and the withdrawal processing of the change reserve to be replenished to the other change machine 200 are performed. Then, the money is transferred between the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 and the change machine 200 via the storage cassette 300.

In such a configuration, for example, the storage cassette 300 removed by the withdrawal practice of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 can be attached to the change machine 200 to practice the deposit of the change machine 200. Similarly, the storage cassette 300 removed by the withdrawal practice of the change machine 200 can be attached to the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 to practice the deposit of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100.

In this way, if the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 and the change machine 200 are linked to practice deposit / withdrawal, the practice can be performed in a state closer to the actual work in the store. Further, even when the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 and the change machine 200 are linked to practice deposit / withdrawal, the money actually stored in the storage cassette 300 and the IC tag 304 are written in the same manner as in the first embodiment. It is possible to allow inconsistencies with the quantity of money and eliminate the influence on the data for sales management.

When practicing deposit / withdrawal by linking the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 and the change machine 200, the practice mode is started on condition that the practice flag of the attached storage cassette 300 is "on". May be.

For example, the practice flag of the storage cassette 300 removed by performing the withdrawal practice is set to "on" by starting the practice mode of the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100 by performing the practice start operation on the money deposit / withdrawal machine 100. Has been done. If the storage cassette 300 is attached to the change machine 200, the change machine 200 that has read the practice flag automatically starts the practice mode, and the deposit practice can be performed without performing the practice start operation for the change machine 200.
