If the paper sheet is a thousand yen bill, up to 100 thousand yen bills are stacked in the third stacking unit 43, and other denominations of banknotes or paper sheets other than banknotes (for example, gift certificates) ) Are accumulated in the first accumulating unit 41 as a reject unit and the fourth accumulating unit 44 as a deposit temporary holding unit. When the number of 10,000 yen bills or thousand yen bills accumulated in the second accumulation unit 42 or the third accumulation unit 43 reaches 100, the second accumulation unit 42 or the third accumulation unit is further increased. Ten thousand yen bills and thousand yen bills cannot be sent to part 43. In this case, the operator takes out the 10,000-yen bill or the thousand-yen bill from the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 to the outside of the housing 2, so that the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 42 is removed. Ten thousand yen bills and thousand yen bills are sent to the stacking unit 43 again. Details of such batch processing will be described later.

  Next, a paper sheet deposit processing method by the valuable medium processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In the valuable medium processing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the IC card reader 71 reads the IC card carried by the operator while the standby screen as shown in FIG. After the authentication of the user's authority, when the operator inserts the paper into the input unit 10 (“YES” in STEP 1), the sheets of the paper from the input unit 10 one by one from the input unit 10 (STEP 2), the paper sheet conveyed by the conveyance classification mechanism 30 is identified by the identification unit 20 (STEP 3). Here, when the paper sheet identified by the identifying unit 20 is a gift certificate, the count data (the number of deposits by type, the total amount, etc.) of the gift certificate is added (STEP 5). If the paper sheet identified by the identifying unit 20 is a gift certificate, the printing unit 75 performs an erase printing process on the gift certificate (STEP 6). In addition, when the gift certificate identified by the identification unit 20 is an expired ticket, a ticket, a non-acceptable ticket, etc., and matches the non-printable conditions, the printing process for the application is performed on the gift certificate. Absent. Further, the gift certificate that has passed through the printing unit 75 is distributed to the corresponding stacking units 41 to 44 based on the information related to the transport and storage destination stored in the storage unit 74 (STEP 8).

  On the other hand, when the paper sheet identified by the identification unit 20 is a banknote, count data (the number of deposits by denomination, total amount, etc.) of the banknote is added (STEP 7). Note that when the type of the paper sheet identified by the identifying unit 20 is a banknote, the printing unit 75 does not perform an erase printing process on the banknote. Moreover, the banknote identified by the identification part 20 is distributed to the corresponding stacking parts 41-44 based on the information regarding the conveyance accommodation destination memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 74 (STEP8). If the paper sheet identified by the identifying unit 20 is a reject bill that is not a normal banknote or gift certificate, the count data of the reject ticket is not added, and the reject is performed by the printing unit 75. The ticket is sent to the stacking unit 41 as a rejecting unit without being erased and printed (STEP 9).

  When paper sheets remain in the input unit 10 (“YES” in STEP 10), the operations shown in STEP 2 to STEP 9 in FIG. 6 are repeatedly performed. On the other hand, when all the sheets fed into the loading unit 10 are fed out into the body of the valuable medium processing apparatus 1 (“NO” in STEP 10), an approval input is made by the operator through the operation display unit 72 ( (“YES” in STEP 11), the paper sheets temporarily held in the stacking units 43 and 44 are sent to and stored in the corresponding paper sheet storage units 53 and 54 (STEP 12). On the other hand, if the operator does not make an approval input by the operation display unit 72 and instead performs a return input (“NO” in STEP 11), the paper sheets temporarily held in the stacking units 43 and 44 are processed as valuable media. It can be taken out from the front of the apparatus 1 (STEP 13). In this way, a series of paper sheet deposit processing in the valuable medium processing apparatus 1 is completed.

  Next, details of the operation when batch processing is performed in the valuable medium processing apparatus 1 will be described. In the present embodiment, when the batch processing is performed in the valuable medium processing apparatus 1, generally two stacking units including the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 are used. Further, when performing batch processing in the valuable medium processing apparatus 1, the storage unit 74 stores valuable values such as banknotes to be stacked in a plurality of stacking units (for example, the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43). Information relating to the number and type of media is stored as setting information, and the overall control unit 73 selects the valuable medium identified by the identification unit 20 based on the setting information stored in the storage unit 74. The transport classification mechanism 30 is controlled so as to be distributed to the stacking units 41 to 44. Further, in the present embodiment, when batch processing is performed in the valuable medium processing device 1, an operation in which the shutter 42 s and the return door 6 are locked by the electromagnetic lock unit is performed, and a shutter by the electromagnetic lock unit. There is a case where operation is performed such that 42s and the return door 6 are not locked. In the following description, first, a case will be described in which an operation is performed in which the shutter 42s and the return door 6 are not locked by the electromagnetic lock unit.

  When the batch processing setting as shown in FIG. 6 is performed when the display screen of the operation display unit 72 is switched to the batch processing setting screen, that is, the second stacking unit 42 has 10,000 yen. When batch processing is set so that 100 bills are stacked and 100 thousand yen bills are stacked in the third stacking unit 43, the sheets fed into the loading unit 10 are processed as valuable media processing. When the paper sheets identified by the identification unit 20 are 10,000 yen bills when they are fed into the body of the apparatus 1 and identified by the identification unit 20, the 10,000 yen bills are transferred to the second stacking unit 42. When up to 100 sheets are collected and the paper sheet identified by the identification unit 20 is a thousand yen bill, the thousand yen bill is accumulated up to 100 sheets in the third accumulation unit 43, and other denomination banknotes Paper sheets other than bills and banknotes (for example, gift certificates) are rejected It comes to be integrated into the first of the fourth stacking unit 44 as an integrated unit 41 and the deposit escrow unit as part. When the number of ten thousand yen bills and thousand yen bills accumulated in the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 reaches 100, the input unit 10 moves into the body of the valuable medium processing apparatus 1. The paper sheet feeding operation is temporarily stopped, and no more 10,000 yen bills or 1000 yen bills are sent to the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43. In the present embodiment, when such batch processing is performed, a batch processing screen as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the operation display unit 72, and the operator can select the second stacking unit 42 or The number of 10,000-yen bills and thousand-yen bills accumulated in the third stacking unit 43, and the number of batches of 10,000-yen bills and thousand-yen bills (that is, the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43). The operation display unit 72 can confirm the number of times the number of 10,000-yen bills and thousand-yen bills accumulated in 100 reaches 100.

  In the present embodiment, when the number of ten thousand yen bills or thousand yen bills accumulated in the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 reaches 100, these second stacking units The status display units 84 and 86 corresponding to the 42 and the third stacking unit 43 are lit in blue. As a result, the operator becomes aware that it is necessary to take out a bundle of ten thousand yen bills and thousand yen bills from the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 to the outside of the housing 2. When the number of ten thousand yen bills or thousand yen bills accumulated in the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 reaches 100, the operation display unit 72 displays the second stacking unit 42 or A message indicating that it is necessary to take out the 10,000 yen bill or the thousand yen bill accumulated in the third accumulation unit 43 to the outside of the housing 2 is displayed, or the second accumulation unit 42 The voice notification that the 10,000 yen bill or the thousand yen bill accumulated in the three stacking units 43 needs to be taken out of the housing 2 is issued, so that the operator is notified. It may be. When the operator takes out a bundle of ten thousand yen bills or thousand yen bills from the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 to the outside of the housing 2, the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 42 The status display units 84 and 86 corresponding to the stacking unit 43 are turned off. Thereafter, the feeding operation of the paper sheets from the input unit 10 into the body of the valuable medium processing apparatus 1 is automatically resumed, and the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 from which the banknotes are taken out are 10,000 yen. Bills and thousand yen bills will be sent again. It should be noted that a bundle of ten thousand yen bills and thousand yen bills is taken out of the casing 2 from the second stacking section 42 and the third stacking section 43, and then automatically inserted into the casing 2 from the loading section 10. Instead of paying out bills, the standby state waits for pressing of the “counting start” button on the operation display unit 72, and when the operator presses the “counting start” button on the operation display unit 72, The feeding operation of banknotes into the housing 2 may be resumed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, before the number of ten thousand yen bills or thousand yen bills accumulated in the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 reaches 100, these second stacking units 42. When a bundle of 10,000 yen bills or thousand yen bills is taken out from the third stacking unit 43, the status display unit corresponding to the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 from which the banknotes are taken out 84 and 86 blink red. As a result, the operator becomes aware that the banknote has been accidentally taken out from the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43. In addition, before the number of 10,000 yen bills or thousand yen bills accumulated in the second accumulation unit 42 or the third accumulation unit 43 reaches 100, the second accumulation unit 42 or the third accumulation unit When a bundle of 10,000-yen bills or thousand-yen bills is taken out from 43, a message indicating that a banknote has been taken out from the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 is displayed on the operation display unit 72. Or a voice guidance indicating that a bill has been accidentally taken out from the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 is issued by a speaker or the like (not shown), so that the operator is notified. It may be like this. When the operator returns the 10,000 yen bill or the thousand yen bill to the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43, the state corresponding to the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 The display parts 84 and 86 are turned off.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the paper sheet that has been identified by the identifying unit 20 when the paper sheet that has been loaded into the loading unit 10 is fed into the body of the valuable medium processing apparatus 1 and identified by the identifying unit 20. When the type is a banknote of a denomination other than a 10,000 yen bill or a thousand yen bill, or a paper sheet other than a banknote (for example, a gift certificate), the paper sheet is a first stacking unit 41 as a reject unit or A state corresponding to the first stacking unit 41 when sheets are sent to the first stacking unit 41 serving as a reject unit. The display unit 82 starts to flash red. As a result, the operator becomes aware that it is necessary to take out the paper sheets from the first stacking unit 41 as the rejecting unit.

  In the present embodiment, when a paper sheet fed into the input unit 10 is fed into the body of the valuable medium processing apparatus 1 and a paper sheet feeding failure occurs, the paper feeding unit 10 is dealt with. The status display unit 80 to be lit comes on in red. In addition, when a predetermined time (for example, 20 seconds) elapses after a paper sheet feeding failure occurs in the input unit 10, the display mode of the status display unit 80 corresponding to the input unit 10 changes from red lighting to red flashing. To change. The display content on the status display unit 80 allows the operator to notice that a paper sheet feeding failure has occurred in the loading unit 10. When a paper sheet feeding failure occurs in the input unit 10, if the paper sheet is extracted from the input unit 10, the status display unit 80 corresponding to the input unit 10 is turned off.

  Further, in the valuable medium processing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, batch processing is performed using two stacking units (specifically, the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43) for one denomination banknote. You can also do it. Specifically, when the batch processing is set such that 100 thousand yen bills are stacked in the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43, the paper loaded in the loading unit 10 is set. When the leaves are fed into the body of the valuable medium processing apparatus 1 and identified by the identification unit 20, when the paper sheets identified by the identification unit 20 are thousand yen bills, When the stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 stacks up to 100 sheets and the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 stacks 100 thousand yen bills, the input unit 10 supplies the valuable medium processing apparatus. Thousand-yen bills continue to be stacked in the other stacking unit without stopping the feeding operation of banknotes into one body. In addition, when the paper sheet identified by the identification unit 20 is a banknote of a denomination other than a thousand yen bill or a paper sheet other than a banknote (for example, a gift certificate), the paper sheet is used as a reject unit. It is accumulated in the first accumulation unit 41 and the fourth accumulation unit 44 as a deposit temporary storage unit. In the present embodiment, when the number of thousand yen bills accumulated in the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 reaches 100, the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 42 The status display sections 84 and 86 corresponding to the stacking section 43 are lit in blue. As a result, the operator becomes aware that it is necessary to take out a bundle of thousand yen bills from the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 to the outside of the housing 2. Then, when the operator takes out a bundle of thousand yen bills from the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 to the outside of the housing 2, the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 receives The corresponding status display sections 84 and 86 are turned off.

  In the present embodiment, the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit are stacked before the number of thousand yen bills stacked in the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 reaches 100. When a bundle of thousand-yen bills is taken out from the unit 43, the status display units 84 and 86 corresponding to the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 from which the banknotes are taken out blink red. Become. As a result, the operator becomes aware that the banknote has been accidentally taken out from the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43. Then, when the operator returns the thousand yen bill to the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43, the status display units 84 and 86 corresponding to the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43. Goes off.

  In addition, in the valuable medium processing device 1 of the present embodiment, two stacks are prepared so as to respectively create change reserves to be replenished to a plurality of (for example, two) cashier change machines installed at the checkout counter in the front area. Batch processing can also be performed using the units (specifically, the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43). Here, as a change reserve to be replenished to each cash register change machine, a combination of a plurality of banknotes of a plurality of denominations can be considered. Specifically, it is considered that the change reserve money to be replenished to each cash register change machine is 20 5,000 yen bills and 50 thousand yen bills. In this case, when the sheets fed into the loading unit 10 are fed into the body of the valuable medium processing apparatus 1 and identified by the identification unit 20, the sheets identified by the identification unit 20 are thousand. In the case of a yen bill, up to 50 thousand yen bills are accumulated in the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43, respectively, and the paper sheets identified by the identifying unit 20 are five thousand yen bills. In some cases, up to 20 5,000 yen bills are stacked on the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43, respectively. Thousand-yen bills and 5,000-yen bills, as well as denominations other than thousand-yen bills and 5,000-yen bills, and papers other than bills (for example, gift certificates) are used as reject parts. It is accumulated in the first accumulation unit 41 and the fourth accumulation unit 44 as a deposit temporary storage unit.

  Then, a predetermined number of banknotes for each denomination as change reserves in the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 (specifically, for example, 50 yen bills and 50 thousand yen bills) Are accumulated, the status display sections 84 and 86 corresponding to the second stacking section 42 and the third stacking section 43 are lit in blue. Thus, the operator becomes aware that it is necessary to take out a bundle of banknotes as a change reserve from the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 to the outside of the housing 2. Then, when the operator takes out a bundle of banknotes as a change reserve from the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 to the outside of the housing 2, the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit. The status display sections 84 and 86 corresponding to the section 43 are turned off.

  Further, in the present embodiment, before the predetermined number of banknotes for each denomination as a change reserve is accumulated in the second accumulation unit 42 or the third accumulation unit 43, these second accumulation units 42. When the bundle of banknotes is taken out from the third stacking unit 43, the status display units 84 and 86 corresponding to the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 from which the banknotes are taken out flash in red. To come. As a result, the operator becomes aware that he has accidentally taken out a bundle of banknotes from the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43. When the operator returns the banknotes to the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43, the status display units 84 and 86 corresponding to the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 are turned off. To do.

  Next, a case will be described in which when the batch processing is performed in the valuable medium processing apparatus 1, an operation is performed in which the shutter 42s and the return door 6 are locked by the electromagnetic lock unit.

  When the batch processing setting as shown in FIG. 6 is performed when the display screen of the operation display unit 72 is switched to the batch processing setting screen, that is, the second stacking unit 42 has 10,000 yen. When batch processing is set so that 100 bills are stacked and 100 thousand yen bills are stacked in the third stacking unit 43, the sheets fed into the loading unit 10 are processed as valuable media processing. When the paper sheets identified by the identification unit 20 are 10,000 yen bills when they are fed into the body of the apparatus 1 and identified by the identification unit 20, the 10,000 yen bills are transferred to the second stacking unit 42. When up to 100 sheets are collected and the paper sheet identified by the identification unit 20 is a thousand yen bill, the thousand yen bill is accumulated up to 100 sheets in the third accumulation unit 43, and other denomination banknotes Paper sheets other than bills and banknotes (for example, gift certificates) are rejected It comes to be integrated into the first of the fourth stacking unit 44 as an integrated unit 41 and the deposit escrow unit as part. When the number of 10,000 yen bills or thousand yen bills accumulated in the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 (at least one of them) reaches 100, the input medium 10 sends a valuable medium processing device. The feeding operation of the paper sheets into one body is temporarily stopped, and no more 10,000 yen bills or 1000 yen bills are sent to the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43.

  In this embodiment, when the number of 10,000 yen bills and thousand yen bills accumulated in the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 reaches 100, the number of stacked banknotes is The shutters 42s and the return doors 6 corresponding to only the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 reaching 100 sheets are unlocked, and the shutters 42s and the return doors 6 are automatically opened. The operator can take out the 10,000 yen bill and the thousand yen bill from the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43. Even in this case, the status display units 84 and 86 corresponding to the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 that have reached 100 stacked banknotes light up in blue. As a result, the operator becomes aware that it is necessary to take out a bundle of ten thousand yen bills and thousand yen bills from the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 to the outside of the housing 2. Then, after the operator takes out a bundle of ten thousand yen bills or thousand yen bills from the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 to the outside of the housing 2, the second stacking unit from which the banknotes are taken out When the shutter 42 s and the return door 6 corresponding to 42 and the third stacking unit 43 are manually closed and it is confirmed that no banknote is present in the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43, these shutters 42s and the return door 6 are locked again by the electromagnetic lock unit, and the operator cannot access the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43. When the operator takes out a bundle of ten thousand yen bills or thousand yen bills from the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 to the outside of the housing 2, the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 42. The status display units 84 and 86 corresponding to the stacking unit 43 are turned off. Thereafter, the feeding operation of the paper sheets from the input unit 10 to the body of the valuable medium processing apparatus 1 is resumed, and the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 from which the banknotes are taken out are added to the 10,000 yen bills. Thousand yen bills will be sent again.

  Note that when performing batch processing in the valuable medium processing device 1, when operation is performed such that the shutter 42 s and the return door 6 are locked by the electromagnetic lock unit, the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit are performed. Before the number of 10,000 yen bills and thousand yen bills accumulated in the section 43 reaches 100, a bundle of 10,000 yen bills and thousand yen bills is transferred from the second stacking section 42 and the third stacking section 43 to the operator. There is no risk of accidental removal.

  In addition, when batch processing is performed in the valuable medium processing device 1, two stacking units (specifically) for one denomination of banknotes are performed when an operation is performed in which the shutter 42 s and the return door 6 are locked by the electromagnetic lock unit. Specifically, batch processing can be performed using the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43). Specifically, when the batch processing is set such that 100 thousand yen bills are stacked in the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43, the paper loaded in the loading unit 10 is set. When the leaves are fed into the body of the valuable medium processing apparatus 1 and identified by the identification unit 20, when the paper sheets identified by the identification unit 20 are thousand yen bills, When the stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 stacks up to 100 sheets and the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 stacks 100 thousand yen bills, the input unit 10 supplies the valuable medium processing apparatus. Thousand-yen bills continue to be stacked in the other stacking unit without stopping the feeding operation of banknotes into one body. In addition, when the paper sheet identified by the identification unit 20 is a banknote of a denomination other than a thousand yen bill or a paper sheet other than a banknote (for example, a gift certificate), the paper sheet is used as a reject unit. It is accumulated in the first accumulation unit 41 and the fourth accumulation unit 44 as a deposit temporary storage unit.

  In the present embodiment, when the number of thousand yen bills accumulated in the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 reaches 100, the number of stacked banknotes reaches 100. The shutter 42s and the return door 6 corresponding to only the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 are unlocked, and the shutter 42s and the return door 6 are automatically opened. A bundle of thousand yen bills can be taken out from the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43. Even in this case, the status display units 84 and 86 corresponding to the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 that have reached 100 stacked banknotes light up in blue. As a result, the operator becomes aware that it is necessary to take out a bundle of thousand yen bills from the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43 to the outside of the housing 2. Then, when the operator takes out a bundle of thousand yen bills from the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 to the outside of the housing 2, the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 receives The corresponding status display sections 84 and 86 are turned off.

  In addition, when batch processing is performed in the valuable medium processing apparatus 1, when an operation is performed in which the shutter 42 s and the return door 6 are locked by the electromagnetic lock unit, a plurality (for example, installed in the checkout office in the front region) Batch processing using two stacking units (specifically, the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43) so as to create change reserves to be replenished in each of the two cash register change machines. Can also be done. For example, when “thousand-yen bills × 50 sheets, five-thousand-yen bills × 20 sheets” is set, the sheets fed into the loading unit 10 are fed into the body of the valuable medium processing apparatus 1 and identified. When the paper sheet identified by the identification unit 20 is a thousand-yen bill when identified by the unit 20, 50 thousand-yen bills are respectively stored in the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43. If the paper sheets identified by the identification unit 20 are five thousand yen bills, the five thousand yen bills are accumulated in the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43, respectively. The Thousand-yen bills and 5,000-yen bills, as well as denominations other than thousand-yen bills and 5,000-yen bills, and papers other than bills (for example, gift certificates) are used as reject parts. It is accumulated in the first accumulation unit 41 and the fourth accumulation unit 44 as a deposit temporary storage unit.

  Then, a predetermined number of banknotes (specifically, 5,000 yen bills and 50 thousand yen bills) for each denomination as change reserves are stored in the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43. When the sheets are stacked, the shutter 42s and the return door 6 corresponding to only the second stacking section 42 and the third stacking section 43 in which a predetermined number of bills for each denomination as a change reserve are stacked are unlocked. Then, the shutter 42s and the return door 6 are automatically opened, and the operator can take out banknotes as change reserves from the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43. . Even in this case, the status display sections 84 and 86 corresponding to the second stacking section 42 and the third stacking section 43 in which a predetermined number of banknotes for each denomination as a change reserve are stacked are lit in blue. To come. Thus, the operator becomes aware that it is necessary to take out a bundle of banknotes as a change reserve from the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 to the outside of the housing 2. Then, when the operator takes out a bundle of banknotes as a change reserve from the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit 43 to the outside of the housing 2, the second stacking unit 42 or the third stacking unit. The status display sections 84 and 86 corresponding to the section 43 are turned off.

  In the present embodiment, when the batch processing is performed in the valuable medium processing apparatus 1, an operation is performed such that the shutter 42s and the return door 6 are locked by the electromagnetic lock unit, or the shutter 42s and the return are performed by the electromagnetic lock unit. The operator can set, for example, by the operation display unit 72 whether the operation is performed such that the door 6 is not locked. Thus, in accordance with the contents of the batch processing, an operation is performed in which the shutter 42s and the return door 6 are locked by the electromagnetic lock unit, or an operation in which the shutter 42s and the return door 6 are not locked by the electromagnetic lock unit. Will be able to choose what to do. In general, when batch processing is performed using two stacking units (specifically, the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43) for one denomination of banknotes, it is inserted during the batch processing. Since the feeding operation of banknotes from the unit 10 into the machine body of the valuable medium processing device 1 does not stop, batch processing is performed more quickly when the electromagnetic lock unit is operated so that the shutter 42s and the return door 6 are not locked. Can be terminated. On the other hand, when batch processing is performed using two stacking units (specifically, the second stacking unit 42 and the third stacking unit 43) for a plurality of denominations of banknotes, When a predetermined number of banknotes are stacked in a certain stacking unit, the operation of feeding banknotes from the input unit 10 into the machine body of the valuable medium processing device 1 is stopped, so the shutter 42s and the return door are moved by the electromagnetic lock unit. Even if operation is performed such that 6 is not locked, it takes a long time to complete batch processing. For this reason, when batch processing is performed on two or more denomination banknotes using the two stacking units 42 and 43, each operation is performed by performing an operation in which the shutter 42s and the return door 6 are locked by the electromagnetic lock unit. It becomes possible to more reliably prevent banknotes from being accidentally taken out from the stacking units 42 and 43.

In this case, since the management sources of the gift certificates accumulated in the second accumulation unit 42 and the banknotes accumulated in the third accumulation unit 43 are different, the shutter 42s and the return door 6 are opened unconditionally. There is a possibility that banknotes and gift certificates may be mistakenly taken out from the stacking units 42 and 43 by operators having different management sources. For this reason, after a banknote is taken out from the 3rd stacking part 43, the return door 6 provided in this 3rd stacking part 43 is closed, and this return door 6 is electromagnetically locked by the electromagnetic lock part. The IC card reader 71 reads an IC card held by an operator of another management source so that the shutter 42s is unlocked. As a result, banknotes and gift certificates stacked on the stacking units 42 and 43 can be more strictly managed.

  Further, when the gift certificate processing is performed in the valuable medium processing apparatus 1 of the present invention, the gift certificates are sorted into the second stacking unit 42 as the stacker unit and the third stacking unit 43 as the deposit temporary storage unit. In the case of collecting them, all the gift certificates are drawn out from the input unit 10 into the body of the valuable medium processing apparatus 1 and accumulated in the respective accumulating units 41 to 44, and then an approval input is made by the operator through the operation display unit 72. If a return input is made instead (NO at STEP 11 in FIG. 8), the shutter 42s corresponding to the second stacking unit 42 is first unlocked, and a gift certificate is received from the second stacking unit 42. When a predetermined time elapses after the shutter 42s is unlocked, the return door 6 corresponding to the third stacking unit 43 is unlocked, and the bills are transferred from the third stacking unit 43. It is possible Eject and. In this case, when the gift certificate is taken out from each of the stacking units 42 and 43, the gift certificate is only sorted and collected in each of the stacking units 42 and 43, so that the gift certificate is taken out from each of the stacking units 42 and 43. Even if the gift certificates are mixed, there is no particular problem, but the return corresponding to the third stacking unit 43 after a predetermined time has elapsed since the shutter 42s corresponding to the second stacking unit 42 is unlocked. By releasing the lock of the door 6, it is possible to take out the gift certificate from each stacking unit 42, 43 with good tempo.

  Thus, in the valuable medium processing device 1 of the present invention, the timing of releasing the restriction on the access to the stacking units 42 and 43 by the control unit such as an electromagnetic lock unit that locks the shutter 42s and the return door 6 is set. , 43 can be set for each of the stacking units 42, 43, the timing for returning the valuable medium can be set according to the needs of the operator. Specifically, when the restriction of the access to the stacking units 42 and 43 by the restriction unit can be released at the same time, that is, the lock of the shutter 42s and the return door 6 by the electromagnetic lock can be simultaneously released. When it is made possible, valuable media such as banknotes can be quickly taken out from the respective stacking units 42 and 43. On the other hand, when the regulation unit restricts access to the stacking units 42 and 43 in order for each of the stacking units 42 and 43, valuable media taken out from the respective stacking units 42 and 43 are mixed. It becomes possible to prevent this.
