The bill transport bribes R10, R15, R2, R3, R4, and R6 are sequentially transported, guided to the dispensing temporary accumulating device 41, and temporarily accumulated in the dispensing temporary accumulating unit 40.

At this time, for example, if the customer designates withdrawal of 25,000 yen, a 10,000 yen ticket is issued from the first safe (10,000 yen store) 50 or the second safe (10,000 yen store) 51. 2 sheets (20,000 yen)
Take out. Next, the remaining 5,000 yen is taken out from the third safe 52 (thousand-yen / 2,000-yen storehouse) 52. At the time of storage, it is not known in what order the 1,000-yen and 2,000-yen tickets are arranged. The bill type (1,000 yen or 2,000 yen) is determined by the banknote inspection device 36. If the third safe (thousand yen storehouse) is arranged in the order of 2,000 yen, 2,000 yen, 2,000 yen, 1,000 yen, etc.,
The first 2,000 yen and the second 2,000 yen are withdrawal temporary accumulation part 40
The third 2,000 yen is sorted by the gate 70 and temporarily accumulated in the deposit temporary accumulation unit 38, and the next 1,000 yen is conveyed to the dispensing temporary accumulation unit 40. In this way, after the designated amount of 25,000 yen has been accumulated, the customer is collectively returned to the bill accommodating chamber 32 via the bill transport path R7, and the door 5 is opened to pay the customer.

On the other hand, the 2,000 yen accumulated in the deposit temporary accumulation section 38 is stored in a third safe (thousand yen storehouse) 52 as in FIG. Further, the rejected banknote P is stored in a safe (reject storage) 62 at the lower stage of the safe cassette 63 as shown by a two-dot chain line arrow. During the dispensing and depositing operations, if there is a banknote P in the banknote storage chamber 32 even after a certain period of time, it is determined that "forgot". After the door 5 is closed, the banknotes P in the banknote storage chamber 32 are sequentially taken in one by one by the take-out roller 33, and the banknote transport paths Rl, R
2, R9, R11, and R13 are collected in the middle safe (forgettable storage) 61 in the safe cassette 63 which has been sequentially transported.

As described above, the 1,000-yen ticket and the 2,000-yen ticket are mixed and accumulated in the 1,000-yen depository of the deposit and withdrawal unit. By performing the temporary accumulation in the temporary accumulation unit, three denominations can be handled by two safes. In the present embodiment, a description is given of the deposit and withdrawal unit of the three safes, but the same applies to the deposit and withdrawal unit of the two safes.

Further, in the present embodiment, the explanation has been made with respect to the depositing / dispensing unit, but the same can be applied to the dispensing unit. Furthermore, the above description has been made in the case of a 1,000-yen note and a 2,000-yen note, but the present invention is based on the assumption that a new bill such as a 30,000-yen note or a 50,000-yen note appears in ten thousand digits. Can also be applied.

[0047]

According to the present invention described in detail above, when a plurality of kinds of bills that can be dispensed are stored in the same machine, a particular kind of bill is preferentially dispensed. ,
Further, if it is assumed that the 2,000-yen ticket is to be dispensed with priority in the thousand-yen unit, the 2,000-yen ticket is prioritized in the 1,000-yen unit at the time of dispensing, so that the total number of dispensed cards can be reduced.

As a result, there is an effect that the convenience of the customer increases because the bulk of all bills is reduced. Further, since the total number of sheets to be processed is reduced, there is an effect that obstacles such as paper jams are reduced. Further, in the above-mentioned bill dispensing unit, the customer can choose to give priority to the 2,000-yen ticket in units of 1,000 yen at the time of dispensing, so that the customer's request can be answered and the customer service is improved. There is.

Further, in the above bill dispensing unit,
At the time of withdrawal, customers can choose to exchange 10,000 yen for 2,000 yen ticket, so they can respond to customer requests,
This has the effect of improving customer service. In addition, in the above-mentioned bill dispensing unit, at the time of withdrawal, the selection of exchanging 10,000 yen for 1,000 yen and the selection of exchanging for 2,000 yen can be made at the same time. This has the effect of leading to improvement.

Further, a plurality of types of banknotes are stored in the same safe in advance, and at the time of withdrawal, the banknotes are fed out of the safe, and the types of banknotes to be preferentially provided for withdrawal and the other types of banknotes. The banknotes are temporarily collected in different places, and the banknotes of the type that is preferentially provided for withdrawal are preferentially dispensed out of the temporarily collected banknotes. By stopping when the kind of banknotes to be withdrawn to the amount specified by the customer reaches the amount specified by the customer, the kinds of banknotes are mixed and accumulated in a common safe at the time of deposit, and are withdrawn from the safe at the time of withdrawal. The denomination of the banknote that has been discriminated by the bill inspection device, until the banknotes accumulated in the temporary withdrawal stacking unit have reached the amount specified by the customer, the banknotes dispensed to the temporary withdrawal stacking unit, Sort and accumulate non-withdrawal bills Therefore, it is possible to handle a denomination of plus one with respect to the number of safes, without having to replace the unit itself for the withdrawal unit of the two safes installed without assuming a 2,000 yen ticket 2,000 yen ticket can be handled.
