Here, “binding the loose banknotes S” means that the bulky banknotes S are bundled into a bundle every predetermined number, and an elongated binding band is wound around the paper bundle. Further, the loose banknote processing unit 30 of the money handling apparatus has a depositing port 41 for depositing loose banknotes S and a withdrawal port 42 for taking out loose banknotes S.
In addition to the bundled bill processing unit 20 and the loose banknote processing unit 30, this money handling apparatus includes a wrapping coin dispensing unit 3, a bulk coin depositing and dispensing unit 2, an outside post unit 4 for inputting securities other than cash, and the like. It has. In addition, the money handling apparatus includes a terminal unit 5 shared by the entire system, a keyboard type operation unit 6 (input means) through which an operator inputs processing contents of banknote bundles B and loose bills S, and an external printer 8. It has. The terminal unit 5 is provided with a display screen 5a and an ID card reader 5b for displaying processing states of the bundled banknote processing unit 20, the loose banknote processing unit 30, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 3, the bundled bill processing unit 20 of the money handling apparatus has a different denomination from the up-and-down passage 20 a for moving the bundled bill B inserted into and removed from the bundled bill processing unit 20 in the vertical direction. A plurality of money storages (cassettes) 21 for storing the banknote bundle B for each denomination, and a currency transport means 22 for taking in and out the banknote bundle B with respect to the money storage 21 are provided. That is, the money transporting means 22 has a function as money picking means for picking up the banknote bundle B from the money storage 21.
Further, the bundle bill processing unit 20 includes a control unit 23 having a memory (storage means) 23a, and this memory 23a is used when a failure occurs when the bill bundle B is taken out by the currency transport means 22. The information of the denomination and quantity of the defective banknote bundle B ′ that has been taken out at the time of the failure (the information on these denominations and quantities is collectively referred to as “uncollected money information”) is stored. It has become. Further, when returning the defective banknote bundle B ′ to the money storage 21 after the failure occurs, the control unit 23 is different from the denomination and quantity information of the defective banknote bundle B ′ stored in the memory 23a. An alarm means 24 for issuing an alarm when the defective banknote bundle B ′ is returned to the money storage 21 is electrically connected.

Hereinafter, each component of the banknote handling part 20 of the money handling apparatus will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.
The number of money storage boxes 21 provided in the bundled bill processing unit 20 is, for example, five (see the money storage boxes 21a to 21e in FIG. 3), and these money storage boxes 21a to 21e are as shown in FIG. It is arranged in a line in the front-rear direction. The money storages 21a to 21e store four banknotes 21a for storing banknote bundles B in denominations (for example, divided into thousand yen bills, two thousand yen bills, five thousand yen bills and ten thousand yen bills). To 21d and a batch storage 21e that stores the banknote bundle B in a denomination mixed state. Each money storage 21a-21e is a cassette-type thing which can be attached or detached independently, and each upper end part opens and the raising / lowering stage 21g with the pantograph mechanism 21f is provided in the inside.
Above each of the money storages 21a to 21e, a pair of opening and closing plates 28 that are opened and closed to the left and right are respectively provided. With respect to the money storages 21a to 21e in which the corresponding opening and closing plates 28 are open. The banknote bundle B can be taken in and out.

  The money transporting means 22 includes a transport belt 22a that extends horizontally from the upper region of the money storage 21 to the inside of the lifting / lowering passage 20a, and a lifting / lowering stage 22b that is provided in the lifting / lowering passage 20a and lifts and lowers the banknote bundle B inside. Have. In the money transporting means 22, when the banknote bundle B is stored, the banknote bundle B is first placed on the transport belt 22 a, and the banknote bundle to the upper side of the opening / closing plate 28 corresponding to the money storages 21 a to 21 e to be stored. B is transported by the transport belt 22a. On the other hand, when the banknote bundle B is taken out, the conveyor belt 22a receives the banknote bundle B of each denomination from the money storage bins 21a to 21e and conveys it to the elevating passage 20a. In response, it is transported to the withdrawal port 40.

  The currency transport means 22 further includes a plurality of detectors 22c that detect the occurrence of a failure when a failure such as clogging of the banknote bundle B occurs when the banknote bundle B is transported. Specifically, each detector 22c is composed of, for example, an optical sensor or the like disposed on the movement path of the banknote bundle B at an interval that can identify the location where the failure has occurred. Abnormalities such as inclination and catching of the banknote bundle B conveyed by the stage 22b are detected.

  The control unit 23 is electrically connected to each detector 22c of the money transport means 22, and when the occurrence of the failure is detected in the memory 23a by the detector 22c, the control unit 23 is taken out when the failure occurs. The denomination and quantity regarding the defective banknote bundle B 'are extracted and stored as defective banknote information.

  The alarm means 24 has a buzzer 24 a electrically connected to the control unit 23. Then, when the operator returns the defective banknote bundle B ′ to the money storage 21 after the failure occurs, the defective banknote bundle is different from the denomination and quantity information regarding the defective banknote bundle B ′ stored in the memory 23a. When B 'is returned to the money storage 21, the buzzer 24a of the alarm means 24 sounds an error buzzer.

Specifically, for example, when a failure such as clogging of the banknote bundle B occurs while the banknote bundle B of the 5,000 yen bill is being taken out, the memory 23a of the control unit 23 stores the banknote bundle B that is not taken out correctly. The denomination information that 'is a 5,000 yen bill and the quantity information of the defective banknote bundle B' that has not been conveyed to the withdrawal port 40 due to a failure are stored. When the operator pulls out the defective banknote bundle B ′ of the 5,000-yen bill and returns it to the currency storage unit 21, the defective banknote is not stored in the currency storage unit 21 other than the currency storage unit 21 corresponding to the 5,000-yen bill. When the bundle B ′ is returned or the quantity of the uncollected banknote bundle B ′ actually returned does not match the quantity stored in the memory 23a, an error buzzer is generated by the buzzer 24a of the alarm means 24. It is supposed to sound.
The warning means 24 is not limited to the buzzer 24a that issues a warning to the operator by sound, and may be a lamp that visually gives a warning to the operator by display, for example. Alternatively, this warning may be displayed on the display screen 5a of the money handling apparatus.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIGS.
In order to insert and withdraw money in the money handling apparatus, first, the operator puts various kinds of rose banknotes S into the deposit port 41 of the rose banknote processing unit 30 in a lump. Each denomination is stored in the loose bill processing unit 30 (for example, divided into thousand yen bills, two thousand bills, five thousand yen bills, and ten thousand yen bills).
The loose banknotes S stored in the loose banknote processing unit 30 are further sent to the bundled banknote processing unit 20, and the binding of the loose banknotes S is performed by the binding means 25 of the bundled banknote processing unit 20. The banknote bundle B is automatically stored in each money storage 21a-21e according to the denomination.

When the operator takes out the banknote bundle B of a desired denomination from the money handling apparatus, first, the denomination and quantity of the banknote bundle B are input by the keyboard type operation unit 6. If it does so, in the banknote handling part 20, the raising / lowering stage 21g of the money storage 21 corresponding to the money type of the banknote bundle B input by the operation part 6 will move upward, and the banknote bundle placed on this raising / lowering stage 21g. The banknote bundle B of the quantity input in the operation part 6 among B is delivered to the conveyance belt 22a.
In the currency transport means 22 of the bundled banknote processing unit 20, the banknote bundle B placed on the transport belt 22a is transported to the lift passage 20a, and the lift stage 22b receives the banknote bundle B from the transport belt 22a and withdraws it. Transport to 40.
In this way, the operator can receive a desired denomination and quantity of banknote bundle B from the withdrawal port 40.

  On the other hand, when the banknote bundle B is transported by the transport belt 22a or the elevating stage 22b, the banknote bundle B is tilted, or the loose banknote S on the surface of the banknote bundle B is caught on the transport belt 22a, etc. Alternatively, there may be a failure in taking out the banknote bundle B, such as when the door of the housing of the money handling apparatus opens during the taking out of the banknote bundle B. In this case, a series of processes in the bundle bill processing unit 20 of the money handling apparatus is automatically stopped. At this time, the operator opens the housing of the money handling apparatus, pulls the money storage 21 from the housing to the front side (see FIG. 2), and manually feeds the money handling means from the bundled bill processing unit 20 when a failure occurs. The uncollected banknote bundle B 'that has been transported by 22 must be extracted. Then, the operator needs to return the extracted defective banknote bundle B ′ to the money storage 21 where the denomination matches.

Here, when a failure such as clogging of the banknote bundle B occurs when the banknote bundle B is transported as described above, this failure is detected by the detector 22c of the money transport means 22. Then, the denomination and quantity of the defective banknote bundle B ′ when the failure is detected by the detector 22c are detected, and the denomination and quantity of the defective banknote bundle B ′ are detected as the defective bank information of the control unit 23. Stored in the memory 23a.
Specifically, for example, when a failure such as clogging of the banknote bundle B occurs while taking out the banknote bundle B of the 5,000 yen bill in the bundle banknote processing unit 20, the defective takeout banknote in which the failure has occurred. It is detected that the denomination of the bundle B ′ is a 5,000 yen bill. Moreover, the quantity of the banknote bundle B 'withdrawing bad is detected by subtracting the quantity of the banknote bundle B actually conveyed to the withdrawal port 40 from the quantity of the banknote bundle B taken out from the money storage 21.

Then, when the operator returns the defective banknote bundle B ′ to the money storage 21 corresponding to the denomination of the defective banknote bundle B ′, it is different from the defective banknote information stored in the memory 23a of the control unit 23. When the defective banknote bundle B 'is returned to the money storage 21, the buzzer 24a of the alarm means 24 sounds an error buzzer.
Specifically, for example, when the actual defective banknote bundle B ′ is a 5,000 yen bill, the operator mistakenly returned this defective banknote bundle B ′ to the money storage 21 corresponding to the thousand yen bill. In this case, for example, a sensor (not shown) attached to the inside of the money storage 21 detects that the 5000 yen bill has been stored in the money storage 21 of the thousand yen bill, and receives this detection signal. Then, the buzzer 24a sounds an error buzzer. Alternatively, the quantity of the defective banknote bundle B ′ that is actually returned to the money storage 21 is measured by the above-described sensor, and the actual quantity of the defective banknote bundle B ′ that is measured and the quantity stored in the memory 23a. If the two do not match, the buzzer 24a similarly sounds an error buzzer.

  As described above, according to the money handling apparatus of the present embodiment, when a trouble occurs when the banknote bundle B (money) is taken out by the money transporting means (money picking means) 22, the picking up is performed when the trouble occurs. Is stored in the memory (storage means) 23a with respect to the defective banknote bundle B '(extracted defective currency). When the defective banknote bundle B ′ is returned to the money storage 21 after the failure occurs, when the defective banknote bundle B ′ is returned to the money storage 21 so as to be different from the defective money information stored in the memory 23a. An alarm is issued by the alarm means 24. For this reason, after the failure occurs, the operator erroneously stores the defective banknote bundle B ′ to be stored in another denomination of money storage 21, or the defective banknote bundle B ′ to be stored in the money storage 21 after the failure occurs. If the quantity is wrong, the operator can recognize that there was an error in the return operation of the defective banknote bundle B ′ by receiving an alarm from the buzzer 24a of the alarm means 24. Thus, the operator can accurately perform the return operation of the defective banknote bundle B ′, and after the recovery operation, the defective banknote bundle B ′ that has been returned to the money storage 21 by mistake. Can be reliably prevented from being taken out from the withdrawal port 40 of the money handling apparatus.

The money handling apparatus according to the present embodiment is not limited to the above aspect, and various changes can be made.
For example, in the money handling apparatus shown in FIG. 1, for the configuration related to the occurrence of a failure, the loose banknote processing unit 30 may be substantially the same as the bundled banknote processing unit 20. That is, the storage means for storing the removal failure money information regarding the removal failure banknote S ′ that has been taken out at the time of failure when the failure banknote processing unit 30 takes out the failure when taking out the rose bill S. When the defective withdrawal banknote S ′ is returned to the loose banknote storage so that it is different from the unsuccessful withdrawal currency information stored in the storage means when the defective withdrawal banknote S ′ is extracted and returned to the loose banknote storage after the failure occurs. Alarm means for issuing an alarm may be provided.

  Moreover, the money processed by the money processing apparatus of this Embodiment is not limited to the banknote bundle B or the loose banknote S, For example, it is a coin packaging body which packaged several coins of the same kind with paper etc. May be.

Further, in the money handling apparatus shown in FIG. 1, the external printer 8 prints out defective money information regarding the defective money on paper when a failure is detected by the detector 22 c of the money transport means 22. Is going. On the paper punched out by the external printer 8, the denomination and quantity of the picked-up defective currency are printed.
As a result, the operator can take out the defective coins and return them to the money storage 21 while confirming the printed content of the paper punched out by the external printer 8, so that the operation of returning the defective coins can be performed more accurately. Can be done.

Second Embodiment Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view showing the arrangement of the constituent members of the bundle bill processing unit of the money handling apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

  The lock means 51 has shutter members 51 a to 51 e provided on the upper portions of the respective money storages 21 a to 21 e, and these shutter members 51 a to 51 e are connected to the control unit 23. The control unit 23 is configured to lock each of the shutter members 51a to 51e in a closed state so that the unacceptable banknote bundle B 'cannot be stored in the money storage units 21a to 21e.

  The unlocking means 52 corresponds to the denomination information of the defective banknote bundle B ′ stored in the memory 23a of the control unit 23 when a failure occurs when the banknote bundle B is taken out by the money transport means 22. Only the money storage 21 is unlocked. Specifically, when a signal is sent from the unlocking means 52 to the control unit 23, a shutter provided in the money storage 21 corresponding to the denomination information of the defective banknote bundle B ′ stored in the memory 23a. Only the member is in the open state, and the defective banknote bundle B ′ can be inserted into the money storage case 21.

  Next, the operation of the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIG. Note that detailed description of operations similar to those of the first embodiment is omitted.

In the bundled bill processing unit 50, the shutter members 51a to 51e of the money storage units 21a to 21e are normally closed, and the operator opens the shutter members 51a to 51e to the respective currency storage units 21a to 21e. The banknote bundle B cannot be taken in and out.
On the other hand, when the operator inputs that the banknote bundle B is removed from the operation unit 6 and the automatic removal process of the banknote bundle B is performed, the money storage 21 corresponding to the denomination of the banknote bundle B is stored. The shutter member is opened.

When the banknote bundle B is transported by the transport belt 22a or the lifting stage 22b of the money transport means 22, a failure may occur as in the first embodiment.
Here, when a failure such as clogging of the banknote bundle B occurs, the failure is detected by the detector 22c of the money transport means 22, and the takeout failure at the time when the failure is detected by the detector 22c. The denomination of the banknote bundle B ′ is detected, and the denomination of the defective banknote bundle B ′ is stored in the memory 23 a of the control unit 23.

  Then, only the shutter member provided in the money storage 21 corresponding to the denomination information of the defective banknote bundle B ′ stored in the memory 23a is operated by the unlocking means 52 via the control unit 23. Only the member is open. As a result, the operator can return the defective banknote bundle B ′ only to the money storage 21 corresponding to the denomination of the defective banknote bundle B ′.

  As described above, according to the money handling apparatus of the present embodiment, the lock means 51 is normally locked so that money cannot be stored in each money storage 21. Then, when a failure occurs when the banknote bundle B (money) is taken out by the money transport means (money takeout means) 22, the unsuccessful removal banknote bundle B ′ (removal failure) that has been taken out when the failure occurs. The removal failure money information related to the money type of money is stored in the memory (storage means) 23a, and the lock of only the money storage 21 corresponding to the money type of the removal failure money information stored in the memory 23a by the lock release means 52 is locked. Canceled. For this reason, after the failure occurs, the operator can store the defective banknote bundle B ′ only in the money storage 21 corresponding to the denomination of the defective banknote bundle B ′. It is possible to reliably prevent the bundle B ′ from being erroneously stored in the money storage 21 of another denomination. As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent the withdrawal failure banknote bundle B ′ whose denomination has been mistakenly returned to the money storage 21 after the recovery operation from being taken out from the withdrawal port 40 of the money handling apparatus.

  The money handling apparatus according to the present embodiment is not limited to the above aspect, and various changes can be made. For example, the money used in the money handling apparatus is not limited to the banknote bundle B, and may be a coin wrapping body in which, for example, loose banknotes S or a plurality of coins of the same type are wrapped with paper or the like.

Moreover, in this Embodiment, the lock | rock means which can be locked so that accommodation of each unacceptable banknote bundle B 'about each money storage 21a-21e becomes impossible is each money storage as shown in FIG. It is not limited to what is comprised from the shutter members 51a-51e provided in the upper part of 21a-21e, respectively.
For example, an opening is provided at the lower side of each money storage 21, and a plurality of engagement members (each of which can be hooked on the housing of the bundled bill processing unit 50 by the opening of each money storage 21). (Not shown) may be attached corresponding to these money storages 21. In the present modification, a lock means is constituted by the plurality of engaging members.
Each engaging member prevents the money storage 21 from being pulled out from the state shown in FIG. 2 by being caught in the opening of the corresponding money storage 21, and the defective banknote to be taken out into the money storage 21 is not provided. The bundle B ′ is locked so that it cannot be stored. On the other hand, when the catch of the engaging member from the opening of the money storage 21 is released, the money storage 21 can be pulled out from the state shown in FIG. Can be stored.
Thus, each engagement member can adjust attachment / detachment of the corresponding money storage 21.

Third Embodiment Hereinafter, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 5 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view showing the arrangement of the constituent members of the bundle bill processing unit of the money handling apparatus according to the third embodiment of the present invention.
In the third embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the same parts as those in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

The money handling apparatus according to the present embodiment has an input means instead of a storage means in the bundled bill processing unit, and the picked-up bad money is returned to the money storage so that it differs from the pick-up defective money information inputted in the input means. The only difference is that the alarm means emits an alarm when it is done, and the rest has substantially the same configuration as that of the first embodiment shown in FIGS.
This money handling apparatus will be described below with reference to FIG.

  The operation unit 6 of the money handling apparatus, when a failure occurs when the banknote handling unit 22 takes out the banknote bundle B ′ in the bundled banknote handling unit 60, has been taken out when the failure has occurred. This is, for example, a keyboard type input means for an operator to input defective money information relating to the bundle B ′. The operation unit 6 is connected to the control unit 23.

  The alarm means 64 has a buzzer 64 a electrically connected to the control unit 23. Then, after the failure occurs, when the operator pulls out the defective banknote bundle B ′ and returns it to the money storage box 21, it is extracted so as to be different from the denomination and quantity information regarding the defective banknote bundle B ′ input in the operation unit 6. When the defective banknote bundle B 'is returned to the money storage 21, the control unit 23 causes the buzzer 64a of the alarm means 64 to sound an error buzzer.

  Next, the effect | action of this Embodiment which consists of such a structure is demonstrated using FIG. Note that detailed description of operations similar to those of the first embodiment is omitted.

  In the bundle bill processing unit 60 of the money handling apparatus, for example, when trouble such as clogging of the bill bundle B occurs while taking out the bill bundle B of 5,000 yen bill, The operation unit 6 inputs denomination information that B ′ is a five thousand yen bill and quantity information of a defective banknote bundle B ′ that has not been conveyed due to a failure. Thereafter, when the operator pulls out the defective banknote bundle B ′ of the 5,000 yen bill and returns it to the money storage 21, the money storage other than the money storage 21 corresponding to the denomination input in the operation unit 6. If the unacceptable banknote bundle B ′ is returned to 21 or the quantity of the unacceptable banknote bundle B ′ actually returned does not match the quantity input in the operation unit 6, the alarm means 64 An error buzzer is sounded by the buzzer 64a.

  As described above, according to the money handling apparatus of the present embodiment, when a failure occurs when the banknote bundle B (money) is taken out by the money transporting means (money picking means) 22, the operation unit (input means) 6), the operator inputs unacceptable money information relating to the unacceptable banknote bundle B '(extractable money) that has been removed when this failure occurs. When the defective banknote bundle B ′ is returned to the money storage 21 after the failure occurs, the defective banknote bundle B ′ is returned to the money storage 21 so as to be different from the defective extraction money information input in the operation unit 6. Sometimes an alarm is issued by the alarm means 64. For this reason, after the failure occurs, the operator erroneously stores the defective banknote bundle B ′ to be stored in another denomination of money storage 21, or the defective banknote bundle B ′ to be stored in the money storage 21 after the failure occurs. If the quantity is wrong, the operator receives a warning from the buzzer 64a of the warning means 64 based on the defective money information input at the operation unit 6. In this way, the operator can recognize that there has been an error in the actual return operation of the defective banknote bundle B ′ with respect to the input contents in the operation unit 6. Thus, the operator can accurately perform the return operation of the defective banknote bundle B ′, and after the recovery operation, the defective banknote bundle B ′ that has been returned to the money storage 21 by mistake. Can be reliably prevented from being taken out from the withdrawal port 40 of the money handling apparatus.

The money handling apparatus according to the present embodiment is not limited to the above aspect, and various changes can be made.
For example, the bundled bill processing unit 60 of the money handling apparatus may further include a storage unit that stores uncollected money information regarding the uncollected banknote bundle B ′ that has been removed when a failure occurs. In this case, the operator can input only the defective pick-up money information stored in the storage means by the operation unit 6, and the denomination and quantity other than the pick-up defective money information stored in the storage means can be input. I can't do it.

  According to the money handling apparatus according to such a modified example, firstly, the removal failure money information regarding the removal failure banknote bundle B ′ that has been taken out at the time of the failure is stored in the storage means, and then the operator operates the operation unit 6. In this case, the removal failure money information regarding the removal failure banknote bundle B ′ is input so as to match the removal failure money information stored in the storage means. For this reason, the operator can input unacceptable money information in accordance with the actual situation through the operation unit 6, and after the failure occurs, the operator mistakenly removes the unacceptable banknote bundle B ′ and another denomination of money storage. 21. If the number of defective banknote bundles B ′ to be stored in the money storage 21 after a failure has occurred is incorrect, the operator can use the information regarding defective banknotes in accordance with the actual situation. An alarm is received from the alarm means 64. As described above, since the operator performs a double check on the return operation of the unacceptable banknote bundle B ′ in the operation unit (input means) 6 and the alarm means 64, the operator performs an operation of returning the unacceptable banknote bundle B ′. It can be done more accurately.

  Moreover, the money used in a money handling apparatus is not limited to the banknote bundle B, For example, the coin packaging body which wrapped the rose banknote S and the some coin of the same kind with paper etc. may be sufficient.

Fourth Embodiment Hereinafter, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 6: is a typical longitudinal cross-sectional view which shows arrangement | positioning of each structural member of the bundle banknote process part of the money processing apparatus by the 4th Embodiment of this invention.
In the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the same parts as those of the third embodiment shown in FIG.

The money handling apparatus according to the present embodiment is configured to cope with an error in a storing operation when an operator manually stores a banknote bundle B of various denominations in each money storage 21 for each denomination. However, the other configuration is substantially the same as that of the third embodiment shown in FIG.
This money handling apparatus will be described below with reference to FIG.

  The operation unit 6 of the money handling apparatus allows the operator to input storage-scheduled money information corresponding to the banknote bundle B before the operator manually stores the banknote bundle B in the money storage 21 in the banknote handling section 70. For example, it is a keyboard type input means. The operation unit 6 is connected to the control unit 23.

  The alarm means 74 has a buzzer 74 a electrically connected to the control unit 23. Then, when the operator manually stores the banknote bundle B in the money storage 21, it is different from the denomination and quantity information (scheduled storage currency information) regarding the banknote bundle B to be stored input in the operation unit 6. When the bill bundle B is stored in the money storage 21, the control unit 23 causes the buzzer 74a of the alarm means 74 to sound an error buzzer.

  Next, the effect | action of this Embodiment which consists of such a structure is demonstrated using FIG. Note that detailed description of operations similar to those of the third embodiment is omitted.

  When the operator manually stores the banknote bundle B in the money storage 21, the operator first inputs information on the denomination and quantity of the banknote bundle B to be stored in the operation unit 6. And the front door of the housing | casing of a money processing apparatus is opened, as shown in FIG. 2, the money storage 21 is pulled out from a housing | casing, and the banknote bundle B is accommodated in the money storage 21 in which the money type matched.

Here, when the banknote bundle B is stored in the money storage 21 so as to be different from the storage scheduled money information input in the operation unit 6, the buzzer 74 a of the alarm means 74 sounds an error buzzer by the control unit 23.
Specifically, for example, when the banknote bundle B to be stored by the operator is a 5,000-yen bill, the operator erroneously stores the banknote bundle B in the money storage 21 corresponding to the thousand-yen bill. Is detected by a sensor (not shown) attached to the inside of the money storage 21 and the buzzer is received in response to this detection signal. 74a sounds an error buzzer. Or the quantity of the banknote bundle B actually returned to the money storage 21 was measured by the above-mentioned sensor, and the actual quantity of the banknote bundle B measured and the quantity input in the operation unit 6 did not match. In the same manner, the buzzer 74a sounds an error buzzer.

  As described above, according to the money handling apparatus of the present embodiment, before the operator manually stores the banknote bundle B in the money storage 21, the operation schedule (input means) 6 stores the banknote bundle B. Money information is input by the operator. When the operator manually stores the banknote bundle B in the money storage 21, the alarm means when the banknote bundle B is stored in the money storage 21 so as to be different from the stored money information input in the operation unit 6. An alarm is issued by 74. For this reason, when the operator manually stores the banknote bundle B in the money storage box 21, the banknote bundle B is mistakenly stored in the money storage box 21 of another denomination or actually stored in the money storage box 21. If the quantity of banknote bundles B to be made is wrong, the operator receives a warning from the buzzer 74 a of the warning means 74 based on the storage-scheduled money information input in the operation unit 6. In this manner, the operator can recognize that there is an error in the actual storing operation of the banknote bundle B with respect to the input content in the operation unit 6. As a result, the operator can accurately perform the storing operation of the banknote bundle B.

  The money handling apparatus according to the present embodiment is not limited to the above aspect, and various changes can be made. For example, the money used in the money handling apparatus is not limited to the banknote bundle B, and may be a coin wrapping body in which, for example, loose banknotes S or a plurality of coins of the same type are wrapped with paper or the like.
