It is to be noted that the damage determination level in the withdrawal inspection unit 10 is such that the number of genuine bills of banknotes stored in each recycle-type storage safe 9 is constant based on the damage information obtained at the time of the payment inspection. The switching is performed as described above (S105). By storing the genuine and unfit notes in the same safe by denomination in this way, there is no need to provide a dedicated safe for storing only unfit notes, so that a plurality of cash stored in the same safe is conventionally used. It is possible to store different types of banknotes by denomination.

[0019] Thereby, when performing the scrutiny and collection processing,
It is not necessary to perform the denomination again, so that the time can be reduced and the processing can be performed easily. Hereinafter, the scrutiny process will be described. When a close inspection process is requested by the teller's machine 1, the banknotes stored in the circulation type storage safe 9 are taken out by a control unit (not shown), and are conveyed to the withdrawal inspection unit 10.

After the payment checking unit 10 determines whether the banknote is valid or denominated, the banknotes are counted and the genuine bills are stored in the circulation type storage safe 9. Then, as a result of the discrimination by the withdrawal inspection unit 10, the banknote that cannot be discriminated or is determined to be an unfit bill is conveyed to the withdrawal reject box 12. in this way,
By storing the damaged bills stored in the circulation-type storage safe 9 in the withdrawal reject box 12 when performing the close inspection process, the ratio of genuine bills stored in the circulation-type storage safe 9 can be increased.

Further, the banknotes determined to be unfit at the time of the scrutiny processing are sent to the banding / small bundle payment machine 3, and the holding mechanism 14 turns the unfitted notes into small bundles by a fixed number of sheets. It is also possible to increase the ratio of genuine bills stored in the circulation-type storage safe 9 by storing them in the storage 16 to facilitate collection of damaged bills. Hereinafter, when a predetermined amount of banknotes is stored in the circulating storage safe 9, an operation of taking out the banknotes stored in the circulating storage safe 9 and sending out the banknotes to the sealed / small bundle payment machine 3 (hereinafter, referred to as “the banknotes”)
It is a sealing process. ) Will be described.

First, the number of genuine bills stored in the circulation type storage safe 9 is set in advance by the tellers machine 1. Then, when the number of genuine bills stored in the circulating storage safe 9 exceeds a set value, bills are automatically taken out of the circulating storage safe 9 and the genuine bills are conveyed to the banding / small bundle payment machine 3. You.

The genuine bill conveyed to the banding / small bundle payment machine 3 is:
The small bundles are fixedly bundled by the bundle mechanism 14 and stored in the small bundle safe 15. The circulation type storage safe 9 checks the number of banknotes stored in the circulation type storage safe 9 every time 100 sheets are taken out. When the number of the banknotes that are present becomes equal to or less than the set value, the removal of the banknotes from the circulation type storage safe 9 is automatically stopped.

As described above, the number of banknotes stored in the circulation type storage safe 9 is maintained at a set number or more, and when the number of genuine bills exceeds a preset number, the genuine bills are automatically rewritten. By performing the sealing process, the number of genuine bills stored in the circulation-type storage safe 9 can be kept constant.

[0025]

As described above, according to the present invention,
By storing the genuine and unfit notes in the same safe by denomination, it is not necessary to store multiple denomination bills in the same safe. Need not be performed, the time can be reduced, and the processing can be performed easily.
