This determination may be performed by, for example, detecting whether the operator opens the door of the housing 1 to access the collection unit 8. Alternatively, the determination may be performed by detecting whether the storing unit 8b is detached and attached again by means of a sensor disposed to the fitting portion 8a. Alternatively, the input unit 10 may display a button notifying that the exchange of the storing unit is completed, and whether a new storage bag is fixed may be determined when the operator clicks this button.

  • Example 1 the local currency is collected in the pouch A, and the foreign currencies are collected in the pouch B.
  • the pouches are flexible. Accordingly, even if there are only a small amount of foreign currencies (or local currency), the pouch may be folded to reduce the size. Therefore, each pouch does not always have a constant volume regardless of whether the storage is small or large, like the cassette money box. This reduces the inconvenience and the costs in transporting the money. Since the pouch may be hermetically sealed, stealing of money may be prevented. Furthermore, since opening the pouch would leave evidence, unauthorized opening may also be prevented.

The operator selects whether the exchanging collection or the mixing collection is performed. If the operator selects the exchanging collection, the step S12 and the steps thereafter of the Example 1 are performed. If the operator selects the mixing collection, the collection process described in Example 2 is performed. Demands of the customers and the security companies (on whether the mixing collection should be performed), for example, may be flexibly met if the operator selects the way of collection.
