  The control unit 15 is configured to receive a banknote identification result by the identification unit 26 of the banknote processing apparatus 20 and a coin identification result by the identification unit 35a of the coin processing apparatus 30 or the additional coin processing apparatus 30a. In addition, information such as an input from the operation unit 45 or an operator's ID information read from the card by the card reader 46 is sent to the control unit 15.

  In addition, when the money handling machine 10 is operated, the control unit 15 confirms the authority of the operator based on the operator ID information input from the operation unit 45 or the card reader 46. Moreover, the control part 15 controls each structural member of the banknote processing apparatus 20, the coin processing apparatus 30, and the additional coin processing apparatus 30a, or controls the display part 44, the printer 43, etc.

  The control unit 15 transmits / receives signals to / from an external device such as a host terminal via the communication interface unit 48.

  In the present embodiment, the priority setting means 50 and the guidance means 52 are connected to the control unit 15. The priority order setting means 50 gives priority to the main body side money processing unit and the added additional money processing unit when the additional coin processing device 30a and the additional money storage unit 40a are added as additional money processing units. The order is set. In addition, during the coin deposit process, the guiding means 52 first puts coins into the money processing unit with the lower priority set by the priority setting means 50 among the main body side money processing unit and the added additional money processing unit. The operator is guided to make a deposit. Details of the functions of the priority setting means 50 and the guidance means 52 will be described later.

  Next, the operation of the money handling machine 10 having such a configuration will be described. In the present embodiment, the money handling machine 10 can perform banknote and coin deposit processing, withdrawal processing, replenishment processing, collection processing, delivery processing, and the like. In addition, operation | movement of the money processor 10 as shown below is performed when the control part 15 controls each structural member of the banknote processing apparatus 20, the coin processing apparatus 30, and the additional coin processing apparatus 30a. Yes.

  First, banknote and coin deposit processing will be briefly described. When performing the deposit processing of banknotes and coins in the money handling machine 10, an operator inserts banknotes into the banknote insertion slot 21 of the banknote processing apparatus 20, or into the coin insertion slot 31 of the coin processing apparatus 30 or the additional coin processing apparatus 30a. When coins are inserted, banknotes and coins inserted into the housing 11 are identified by the recognizing units 26 and 35a and then recycled into the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 or recycleable coin storage unit 34 for each denomination. Stored.

  Next, banknote and coin withdrawal processing will be briefly described. When the banknotes and coins are dispensed in the money handling machine 10, when the operator inputs the number of banknotes or coins to be dispensed, the total amount of money, etc., by the operation unit 45, The banknotes stored in each recycle type banknote storage unit 27 are fed out from the recycle type banknote storage unit 27 and sent to the banknote return port 23, or each recycle type coin of the coin processing device 30 or the additional coin processing device 30a. The coins stored in the storage unit 34 are fed from the recycle type coin storage unit 34 and stored in the withdrawal temporary storage unit 37, and then sent to the coin return port 38. As a result, the operator can take out banknotes and coins to be withdrawn from the banknote return port 23 and the coin return port 38 to the outside of the housing 11.

  Next, banknote and coin replenishment processing will be briefly described. The replenishment processing of banknotes and coins means that banknotes are replenished to each recyclable banknote storage unit 27 of the banknote processing apparatus 20 for each denomination, or coins are processed by the coin processing apparatus 30 or the additional coin processing apparatus 30a for each denomination. This refers to a process of replenishing each recycled coin storage unit 34. When performing replenishment processing of banknotes and coins in the money handling machine 10, an operator inserts banknotes into the banknote insertion slot 21 of the banknote processing apparatus 20, or into the coin insertion slot 31 of the coin processing apparatus 30 or the additional coin processing apparatus 30a. When coins are inserted, banknotes and coins inserted into the housing 11 are identified by the recognizing units 26 and 35a and then recycled into the recyclable banknote storage unit 27 or recycleable coin storage unit 34 for each denomination. Stored.

  Next, a collection process of banknotes and coins will be briefly described. When the management authority of the money storage unit 40 or the additional money storage unit 40a is set on the collection trader side, a collection processing command is sent to the control unit 15 via the operation unit 45 by the collection specific person of the collection trader. When this is done, the control unit 15 unlocks the doors of the money storage unit 40 and the additional money storage unit 40a, and allows the banknote collection cassette 41 and the coin collection cassette 42 to be taken out. When a collection specific person of the collection company takes out each cassette, replaces it with an empty cassette and closes the door, the number of collected banknotes and coins for each denomination, total amount, or data for each denomination The collected data is transmitted by the communication interface unit 48 to an external device (specifically, a computer or the like installed at the management center of the collection company).

  Next, banknote and coin delivery processing will be briefly described. Here, the delivery process of banknotes and coins refers to sending banknotes stored in each recyclable banknote storage unit 27 of the banknote processing device 20 to the banknote collection cassette 41 of the currency storage unit 40, or adding the coin processing device 30 or adding. This means that the coins stored in each recycling-type coin storage unit 34 of the coin processing apparatus 30a are sent to the coin storage unit 40 or the coin collection cassette 42 of the additional coin storage unit 40a. When the management authority of the money storage unit 40 or the additional money storage unit 40a is set on the collection trader side, the money storage unit 40 is sent from each recycle type banknote storage unit 27 or each recycle type coin storage unit 34 to the money storage unit 40. The management authority for banknotes and coins is changed from the management authority on the store side to the management authority on the collection company side. The amount of money in the recycle-type banknote storage unit 27 and the recycle-type coin storage unit 34 is reduced by the amount of money delivered and the amount of money and the number of denominations of the banknotes and coins that have been delivered. The amount of money in the storage unit 40 and the additional money storage unit 40a is increased by the amount of money delivered, which is the amount of money and the number of denominations of bills and coins that have been delivered. The money delivery amount is stored in the storage unit 47 as delivery data together with the date and time, the operator ID, and the like.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the main body in the case where an additional coin processing device 30a and an additional money storage unit 40a are added as an additional money processing unit by an operator having a specific authority by the operation unit 45 or the like. It is possible to input the priority order of the side money handling unit and the added additional money handling unit (specifically, the priority order when the coin withdrawal process is performed). The means 50 is configured to set the priority order of the main body side money handling unit and the added additional money handling unit based on the input information. Hereinafter, a case where the priority order setting unit 50 sets the priority order of the main body side money handling unit to be higher than the priority order of the added additional money handling unit will be described.

  When the additional coin processing device 30a and the additional money storage unit 40a are added as additional money processing units in the money handling machine 10, the priority order of the main body side money processing units becomes the additional money processing unit added. Is set by the priority order setting means 50 so as to be higher than the priority order, the banknote processing device 20 or the coin processing device which is the main body side money processing unit when the banknote or coin withdrawal process is performed. From 30, banknotes and coins are withdrawn preferentially. When the banknotes and coins are dispensed, the number of coins stored in the recycle type coin storage unit 34 in the coin processing device 30 of the main body side money processing unit is equal to the recycle type coin storage unit 34. When the number of coins to be withdrawn is less than the number of coins to be withdrawn, coins are withdrawn from the additional coin processing device 30a in the additional money processing unit. Here, in the present embodiment, the number of coins stored in the recycle type coin storage unit 34 in the coin processing apparatus 30 of the main body side money processing unit should be withdrawn from the recycle type coin storage unit 34. When the number of coins is less than the number of coins, the operation is such that only the coins of the denomination corresponding to the recycle-type coin storage unit 34 are withdrawn from the additional coin processing device 30a, or the coins of all denominations are added. The operation of withdrawing money from the coin processing device 30a is performed. When the former operation is performed, the operator needs to take out coins from the coin return ports 38 of both the coin processing device 30 in the main body side money processing unit and the additional coin processing device 30a in the additional money processing unit. However, it is possible to reduce the amount of decrease in the amount of coins in each recycle type coin storage unit 34 in the additional coin processing device 30a, and thus it is possible to increase the coin recycling efficiency in the money handling machine 10. On the other hand, when the latter operation is performed, the operator only has to take out coins only from the coin return port 38 of the additional coin processing device 30a in the additional money processing unit, but each operator in the additional coin processing device 30a. The amount of decrease in the amount of coins in the recycle-type coin storage unit 34 will increase. Which operation is to be performed can be set in advance by the operation unit 45 by an operator having specific authority. Further, when the number of coins stored in the recycle type coin storage unit 34 in the coin processing apparatus 30 of the main body side money processing unit is smaller than the number of coins to be dispensed from the recycle type coin storage unit 34. In addition, when coins can be withdrawn only with the coin processing device 30 of the main body side monetary processing unit by selecting a different withdrawal pattern, the withdrawal of coins with only the coin processing device 30 of the main body side monetary processing unit is possible. May be performed.

  Further, when coins are dispensed from both the coin processing device 30 of the main body side money processing unit and the additional coin processing device 30a in the additional money processing unit, the coin processing device 30 of the main body side money processing unit and the additional money In the additional coin processing device 30a in the processing unit, the coin withdrawal processing may be performed at the same time, or in the coin processing device 30 of the main body side money processing unit, the coin withdrawal processing is performed first, and this is performed by the operator. After the removal of the coin from the coin return port 38 of the coin processing device 30 is detected, the coin dispensing process may be performed in the additional coin processing device 30a in the additional money processing unit. Further, when the latter process is performed, an additional coin processing in the additional money processing unit is displayed on the display unit 44 after the operator has detected the removal of the coin from the coin return port 38 of the coin processing apparatus 30. A message to the effect that the coin withdrawal process is performed in the device 30a may be displayed as a pop-up, for example. This prevents the operator from forgetting to remove the coins withdrawn from the additional coin processing device 30a in the additional money processing unit from the coin return port 38.

  In addition, when the additional coin processing device 30a and the additional money storage unit 40a are added as additional money processing units in the money handling machine 10, the priority order of the main body side money processing unit becomes the added additional money. When the priority setting means 50 is set so as to be higher than the priority of the processing units, when a coin deposit process is performed, an additional money processing unit (specifically, an additional money processing unit with a lower priority) is added. The operator is guided by the guiding means 52 so as to deposit the coins first in the coin processing apparatus 30a). More specifically, when there is a free capacity in each recycle type coin storage unit 34 of the additional coin processing device 30a, the operator uses the guidance means 52 to deposit coins in the additional coin processing device 30a first. However, when each recycle type coin storage unit 34 of the additional coin processing device 30a is full, the operator uses the guidance means 52 to deposit coins into the coin processing device 30 in the main body side money processing unit. Will be led. In addition, when each recycling-type coin storage unit 34 of the coin processing device 30 is also in a full state, the coins deposited in the coin processing device 30 are the coin storage units 40 provided below the coin processing device 30. Are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42.

  When the operator is guided by the guiding means 52 to deposit the coins first into the additional money processing unit (specifically, the additional coin processing device 30a) having a low priority, the additional coin handling device 30 is not the additional coin processing device 30. A guidance screen for depositing coins into the coin processing device 30a is displayed on the display unit 44, thereby notifying the operator. Thus, the display unit 44 functions as a notification unit for notifying the operator, and the guiding unit 52 guides the operator by notifying the operator by the notification unit. It has become. Note that the notification means for notifying the operator is not limited to the display unit 44. As a notification means for notifying the operator, a means for notifying the operator by a method (for example, voice) other than the display by the display unit 44 may be used.

  In addition, when coins are deposited, if coins are deposited in a currency processing unit different from the currency processing unit to which the coins determined based on the setting by the priority setting means 50 are to be deposited, A message indicating that a coin has been inserted into the money handling unit is displayed on the display unit 44, and the coin input port 31 in the coin handling device of the money handling unit (ie, the correct money handling unit) into which the coin is to be deposited is displayed. A screen that prompts the operator to insert coins may be displayed on the display unit 44. Specifically, as described above, in the case where the priority order setting unit 50 sets the priority order of the main body side money handling unit to be higher than the priority order of the added additional money handling unit, When coin deposit processing is performed, a guidance screen is displayed on the display unit 44 indicating that coins are to be deposited in an additional currency processing unit (specifically, the additional coin processing device 30a) having a low priority. However, if the operator accidentally deposits coins first into the main-unit-side monetary processing unit (specifically, the coin processing device 30) having a high priority, the main-unit-side monetary processing is performed. A message indicating that the deposit of coins into the unit is incorrect is displayed on the display unit 44, and the coins of the additional coin processing device 30a in the additional money processing unit to which the coins are to be deposited Screen prompting to insert coins into the inlet 31 to the operator is to be displayed on the display unit 44.

  As another example, the guiding means 52 includes an additional coin among the shutter 31a provided at the coin insertion port 31 of the coin processing device 30 and the shutter 31a provided at the coin insertion port 31 of the additional coin processing device 30a. Only the shutter 31a on the processing device 30a side may be operated to open only the coin slot 31 of the additional coin processing device 30a. As a result, an operator who wants to perform coin deposit processing inserts coins into the coin insertion slot 31 of the additional coin processing device 30a. As still another example, LED lamps are provided in the vicinity of the coin insertion port 31 of the coin processing device 30 and the coin insertion port 31 of the additional coin processing device 30a, respectively, and the guiding means 52 is an additional coin processing device. The operator may be guided to the additional coin processing device 30a by lighting only the LED lamp provided in the vicinity of the coin insertion slot 31 of 30a.

  As described above, when the coin depositing process is performed, the operator uses the guidance unit 52 to deposit the coins first into the additional currency processing unit (specifically, the additional coin processing apparatus 30a) having a low priority. Therefore, it becomes possible to preferentially fill each recycling-type coin storage unit 34 of the additional coin processing device 30a to a full state, and thus increase the coin recycling efficiency in the money handling machine 10. Will be able to. That is, as described above, when a coin withdrawal process is performed, coins are preferentially withdrawn from the coin handling device 30 of the main body side money handling unit, and each recyclable coin storage unit of the additional coin handling device 30a. 34 can be maintained in a full state as much as possible. In this way, each recycle-type coin storage unit 34 of the additional coin processing device 30a in the additional money processing unit with low priority is maintained as full as possible, and additional coin processing in the main-unit-side money processing unit with high priority is performed. When only the coins stored in each recycling-type coin storage unit 34 of the apparatus 30a are recycled in the coin dispensing process, the coin recycling efficiency is increased.

  In addition, when the additional coin processing device 30a and the additional money storage unit 40a are added as additional money processing units in the money handling machine 10, the priority order of the main body side money processing unit becomes the added additional money. In the case where the priority order setting means 50 is set so as to be higher than the priority order of the processing units, when a coin replenishment process is performed, an additional money processing unit (specifically, an additional money processing unit having a lower priority order) The operator is guided by the guiding means 52 so as to replenish the coins first to the coin processing device 30a). And when each recycling-type coin storage part 34 of the additional coin processing device 30a becomes full, the coins for the overflow are returned from the additional coin processing device 30a, and the returned coins for the overflow are returned. The operator is guided by the guiding means 52 so as to replenish the coin processing device 30 of the main body side money processing unit. In this way, when the coin replenishment process is performed, the operator uses the guidance means 52 to replenish the additional coin processing unit (specifically, the additional coin processing apparatus 30a) having a low priority first. Therefore, it becomes possible to preferentially fill each recycling-type coin storage unit 34 of the additional coin processing device 30a to a full state, and thus increase the coin recycling efficiency in the money handling machine 10. Will be able to.

  In addition, when the additional coin processing device 30a and the additional money storage unit 40a are added as additional money processing units in the money handling machine 10, the priority order of the main body side money processing unit becomes the added additional money. In the case where the priority setting means 50 is set so as to be higher than the priority of the processing unit, when the coin collecting process is performed, the coin collecting cassette 42 from the money storage unit 40 or the additional money storage unit 40a. Before the item is taken out, the coins for sales are delivered. Here, in the present embodiment, when the coin delivery process is performed, the monetary process having a high priority set by the priority setting unit 50 among the main body side monetary processing unit and the added additional money processing unit. The coins corresponding to the sales amount are preferentially sent from each recycle type coin storage unit 34 of the coin processing device 30 in the unit (ie, the main body side money processing unit) to the coin recovery cassette 42 (collection unit) of the money storage unit 40. It has become. In addition, when the coin delivery process is performed, the coins that should be left in the recycled coin storages 34 as change reserves are not delivered to the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage 40.

  More specifically, when the coin delivery process is performed, the sales amount is first transferred from each recycle type coin storage unit 34 of the coin processing device 30 in the main body side money processing unit to the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40. Coins will be sent. Then, when the number of coins stored in a certain recycle type coin storage unit 34 in the coin processing device 30 is reduced to the number of coins to be left in the recycle type coin storage unit 34 as a change reserve, additional coins are added. From the recycle type coin storage unit 34 of the coin processing device 30a to the coin collection cassette 42 of the additional currency storage unit 40a. Here, when money as sales proceeds is delivered from the banknote processing device 20 or the coin processing device 30 to the money storage unit 40, bills that are expensive money are mainly delivered from the banknote processing device 20 to the money storage unit 40. Therefore (specifically, when the sales amount is, for example, 5000 yen, 10 pieces of 500 yen coins are delivered instead of 1 piece of 5000 yen banknotes), a large amount of coins are transferred to the coin processing device 30. Are not delivered to the money storage unit 40. For this reason, when the coin delivery process is performed, the number of coins stored in a certain recycled coin storage unit 34 in the coin processing device 30 is the amount of coins to be left in the recycled coin storage unit 34 as a change reserve. The frequency of occurrence of a decrease to the number of sheets is considered to be low. Thereby, the collection specific person of the collection company only has to take out the coin collection cassette 42 from only the money storage section 40 out of the money storage section 40 and the additional money storage section 40a and collect only the coin collection cassette 42. Therefore, it is not necessary to take out the coin collection cassette 42 from the additional money storage unit 40a. Moreover, in this Embodiment, when the collection process of a banknote and a coin is performed, the information of the banknote collection cassette 41 and the coin collection cassette 42 which should be collect | recovered may be displayed on the display part 44. FIG. . Specifically, the number of banknote collection cassettes 41 and coin collection cassettes 42 to be collected and information indicating which banknote collection cassette 41 and coin collection cassette 42 should be collected are displayed on the display unit 44. Further, the front door of only the currency storage unit 40 or the additional currency storage unit 40a corresponding to the banknote recovery cassette 41 or the coin recovery cassette 42 to be recovered is opened, or the banknote recovery cassette 41 or the coin recovery cassette 42 to be recovered. Only may protrude from the inside of the money storage part 40 or the additional money storage part 40a to the front side.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the priority order setting unit 50 sets the priority order of the main body side money handling unit to be higher than the priority order of the added additional money handling unit, priority is given. Since the storage state of coins in each of the recycle type coin storage units 34 of the additional coin processing device 30a in the additional money processing unit with a lower rank can be maintained almost full, the recycling efficiency in the money processing machine 10 is improved. Can be improved. In addition, when the priority setting means 50 sets the priority of the added additional money processing unit to be higher than the priority of the main body side monetary processing unit, the coin processing of the main body side money processing unit is performed. It becomes possible to always maintain the coin storage state in each recycle-type coin storage unit 34 of the apparatus 30 in a nearly full state, and also in this case, the recycling efficiency in the money handling machine 10 can be improved. Become.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, when the additional coin processing device 30a and the additional money storage unit 40a are added in the money handling machine 10, the money storage unit 40 and the additional money storage unit 40a are added. It is possible to select whether the management authority is the management authority on the store side or the management authority on the collection company side. Specifically, regarding the banknote collection cassette 41 and the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40 and the coin collection cassette 42 of the additional money storage unit 40a, the management authority on the store side or the management authority on the collection trader side You can choose what to do. More specifically, the management authority of the banknote collection cassette 41 and the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40 in the main body side money processing unit is set to the collection company side, and the additional money storage unit 40a in the added additional money processing unit. The management authority of the coin collection cassette 42 may be the store side. Or the management authority of the banknote collection cassette 41 and the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40 in the main body side money processing unit is set to the store side, and the coin collection cassette 42 of the additional money storage unit 40a in the added additional money processing unit. The management authority may be on the collection trader side. Such management authority selection can be performed on the operation unit 45 by an operator having specific authority.

  Here, in the conventional money handling machine, the management authority of the money storage unit (specifically, the banknote collection cassette and the coin collection cassette) is all on the collection trader side. For this reason, there existed a problem that the banknote and coin accommodated in the banknote collection cassette and coin collection cassette of a money storage part could not be reused as a change reserve. On the other hand, in this Embodiment, since the management authority of the money storage part 40 and the additional money storage part 40a can be selected as the management authority on the store side or the management authority on the collection trader side, it can be selected. The store clerk takes out the coins from the coin collection cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40 or the additional money storage unit 40a set to the management authority on the store side and inserts them into the coin insertion slot 31, thereby coin collection cassette 42. Since the coins stored in the coins can be returned to the respective recycle-type coin storage units 34, the coins can be reused as change reserves, so that the handling of coins is flexible in terms of store operation. Will be able to.

  In addition, the money storage unit 40 (specifically, the coin recovery cassette 42) in the main body side money processing unit and the additional money storage unit 40a (specifically, the coin recovery cassette 42) in the additional additional money processing unit. Information relating to coins stored in the coin collection cassette 42 for which the store management authority is set (specifically, the number and total amount of coins stored in the coin collection cassette 42 for each denomination) ) May be output by the control unit 15, and the output information may be displayed on the display unit 44 or transmitted to the external device via the communication interface unit 48. In this case, the control unit 15 stores the money stored in the store side of the money storage unit 40 in the main body side money processing unit and the additional money storage unit 40a in the added additional money processing unit. It functions as an information output part which outputs the information which concerns on the coin accommodated in the coin collection cassette 42 of a part.

  Further, in the conventional money handling machine, even when an abnormality such as a banknote or a coin clogging occurs in, for example, a conveyance part of the banknote handling apparatus or the coin handling apparatus, the banknote collection cassette or the coin collection cassette in the money storage part is kept high. Has no influence, so that it is possible to collect the bill collection cassette and the coin collection cassette from the money storage unit. Even if a storage error occurs when banknotes or coins are stored in the banknote collection cassette or coin collection cassette of the currency storage unit, the amount of these banknote collection cassettes or coin collection cassettes is fixed. It was possible to perform processing. The closing process is a process of counting the total number of bills and coins stored in the banknote collection cassette or coin collection cassette during the business hours of the store after the store's business hours have ended. I mean. More specifically, when a tightening command is given to the control unit 15 via the operation unit 45 by an operator having specific authority, within the target period (specifically, from the previous tightening process to the current tightening process). Tightening data which is data on the number of coins stored in the banknote collection cassette 41 and the coins stored in the coin collection cassette 42 by the delivery process, or the total amount or the amount of money for each denomination. Will be counted. However, in the conventional money handling machine, when the above-described abnormality occurs in the banknote processing apparatus or the coin processing apparatus, an error release operation is started when an operator starts an error cancellation operation for eliminating such an abnormality. The banknote collection cassette and the coin collection cassette cannot be collected or tightened from the money storage unit.

  On the other hand, in the money handling machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the above-described abnormality occurs in the banknote processing apparatus 20 or the coin processing apparatus 30, an error canceling operation for eliminating such abnormality is performed by the operator. Even if it is started, the error canceling operation is interrupted, and the banknote collection cassette 41 and the coin collection cassette 42 can be collected from the money storage unit 40 or can be tightened. Specifically, when an abnormality occurs in the banknote processing device 20 or the coin processing device 30 and an error release operation for eliminating such an abnormality is started by the operator, the display unit 44 displays FIG. ) As shown in () (specifically, a guidance screen showing a method for eliminating the abnormality) is displayed. At this time, an “interrupt” button is also displayed on the display unit 44. Then, when the operator presses the “interrupt” button by, for example, placing the cursor key on the “interrupt” button by the operation unit 45, the display unit 44 displays the banknote processing device 20 or the coin processing as shown in FIG. A guidance screen for returning the device 30 to its original state is displayed, and the error canceling operation is interrupted. Specifically, a guidance screen for prompting the operator to close the door 24 (banknote return door) of the banknote return slot 23 is displayed. When the door 24 is closed, the error release operation is interrupted. It becomes possible to collect the banknote collection cassette 41 and the coin collection cassette 42 from the money storage unit 40 or perform a tightening process. As a result, it is possible to prevent the collection specific person of the collection trader trying to collect the bill collection cassette 41 and the coin collection cassette 42 from the money storage unit 40 from waiting for a long time. When the door 24 is closed, an error canceling operation start screen as shown in FIG. 5C is displayed on the display unit 44. For example, by placing the cursor key on the “release start” button and pressing this “release start” button, the error release operation can be resumed.

  As described above, in the money handling machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the above-described abnormality occurs in the banknote processing apparatus 20 or the coin processing apparatus 30, an error canceling operation for eliminating such abnormality is performed by the operator. Even if started, the error canceling operation can be interrupted, and a guidance screen for returning the banknote processing device 20 and the coin processing device 30 to the original state when the error canceling operation is interrupted is displayed on the display unit 44. Therefore, convenience for the operator can be improved.

  According to the money handling machine 10 of the present embodiment configured as described above, it is provided with a main body-side money processing unit that performs money depositing and dispensing processing, and at least additional money for performing money withdrawal processing. Since the processing unit can be added, even when a lot of money of a specific denomination is withdrawn, it is possible to prevent the denomination of the denomination stored in the money handling machine 10 from being insufficient. be able to. Moreover, the main body side money handling unit is configured to perform deposit processing and withdrawal processing of at least coins among banknotes and coins, and the additional money handling unit is configured to perform money deposit processing, At least coin depositing and withdrawal processing is performed. Here, when the money handling machine 10 according to the present embodiment is used by a delivery driver, for example, as a change for cash on delivery in preparation for receiving the price of the delivery item when delivering the delivery item. Money is withdrawn from the money handling machine, and as such cash for cash on delivery, there is a pattern of the number of coins for each denomination, but for coins the pattern of the number of coins for each denomination Is biased. That is, when money as cash for cash on delivery is withdrawn from the money handling machine 10, a large number of coins of a specific denomination are withdrawn. For this reason, in order to prevent that the coins of the denomination stored in the recycle-type coin storage unit 34 in the coin processing device 30 of the money processing machine 10 are insufficient, money deposit processing and withdrawal processing are performed. It is desirable to add an additional coin processing device 30a to the money handling machine 10 as an additional money processing unit to be performed. In addition, the main body side money handling unit is not limited to the one that performs deposit processing and withdrawal processing of only coins, and bills and coins are used as the main body side money handling unit like the money handling machine 10 of the present embodiment. Those that perform both the deposit process and the withdrawal process may be used. Moreover, you may add an additional banknote processing apparatus (not shown) to the money processor 10 instead of the additional coin processing apparatus 30a as an additional money processing unit which performs a money deposit process and a money withdrawal process.

  Moreover, in the money handling machine 10 of this Embodiment, as mentioned above, when the additional money processing unit is added, the priority of the main body side money processing unit and the added additional money processing unit is set. Priority order setting means 50 for setting is provided. In this case, the storage state of the coins in each of the recycle-type coin storage units 34 of the coin processing devices 30 and 30a of the money processing unit having a low priority among the main body side money processing unit and the additional money processing unit added is always set. Since it can be maintained in a nearly full state, the recycling efficiency in the money handling machine 10 can be improved. In addition, the money handling machine 10 precedes the money processing unit having a lower priority set by the priority setting means 50 among the main body side money processing unit and the added additional money processing unit at the time of depositing money. Guiding means 52 for guiding the operator to deposit money is provided. Accordingly, when the deposit process of money is performed, the coins can be preferentially stored in the recycle-type coin storage units 34 of the coin processing devices 30 and 30a of the money processing unit having a low priority. It becomes possible to maintain the coin storage state in each of the recycle type coin storage units 34 of the coin processing units 30 and 30a of the money processing unit having a lower rank in a state that is closer to full.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the money processing unit with the higher priority set by the priority setting means 50 among the main body side money processing unit and the added additional money processing unit is processed first at the time of money withdrawal processing. Money is to be withdrawn. Further, in the present embodiment, during the collection processing of the money stored in the money storage unit 40 or the additional money storage unit 40a (collection unit), among the main body side money processing unit and the additional money processing unit added. A collection unit (specifically, the money storage unit 40 or an additional one) from each storage and feeding unit (specifically, each recycle type coin storage unit 34) of the high-priority money processing unit set by the priority setting unit 50. Currency coins (specifically, coins) are preferentially sent to the coin collection cassette 42) of the currency storage unit 40a. According to these technical matters, when a money withdrawal process or a collection process is performed, a coin handling device of a money handling unit having a low priority among the main body side money handling unit and the additional money handling unit added. Since the storage state of the coins in each of the recycle-type coin storage portions 34 of 30 and 30a can be always maintained in a nearly full state, the recycling efficiency in the money handling machine 10 can be improved.

  In addition, the money handling machine by this invention is not limited to said aspect, A various change can be added.

  For example, the additional money processing unit (specifically, the additional coin processing device 30a and the additional money storage unit 40a) is not limited to the one that performs the money depositing and dispensing processes. As the additional money processing unit, one that only performs money withdrawal processing may be used.

  Further, the additional money processing unit (specifically, the additional coin processing device 30a and the additional money storage unit 40a) is limited to be placed on the side surface of the money processing machine on the banknote processing device 20 side. There is no. In the money handling machine according to the modification, the additional money handling unit may be placed on the side surface of the money handling machine on the coin handling device 30 side.

  Moreover, the common money storage part 40 may be used in the main body side money handling unit and the added additional money handling unit. That is, even when an additional money handling unit is added in the money handling machine according to the modification, the installation of the additional money storage unit 40a is omitted as compared with the money handling machine 10 shown in FIG. May be. In this case, when the coin delivery process is performed, the coin processing device 30 in the main body side money processing unit and the additional coin processing device 30a in the added additional money processing unit are respectively below the coin processing device 30. Coins are sent to the coin collecting cassette 42 of the money storage unit 40 located at the position. As a result, the number of coin collection cassettes 42 to be collected in the coin collection process is one as compared to the case where the additional money storage unit 40a is also installed when an additional money processing unit is added. This makes it possible to prevent forgetting to remove the coin collection cassette 42.

  As still another example, in the main body side money handling unit and the added additional money handling unit, an LED lamp may be provided in each of the money storage unit 40 and the additional money storage unit 40a. In this case, in the coin collecting process, the LED lamps of the coin storage units 40 and 40a in which the coin collecting cassette 42 to be collected exists are turned on, which allows the operator to select which coin collecting cassette 42. You will know at a glance what to collect. Further, when the coin collection cassette 42 to be collected is not taken out from the money storage part 40 or the additional money storage part 40a by the operator, a warning is given to the operator by a warning sound or the like. May be.

  Further, as another example, money as a change reserve may be deposited in the main body side currency processing unit, and money as sales may be deposited in an additional additional currency processing unit. . In this case, the operator performs money deposit processing in one of the main body side money handling unit and the added additional money handling unit, and the money handling process in this money handling unit is not performed. After completion, the other money handling unit performs money deposit processing. For example, when the operator first deposits money into the main body side money handling unit, when the operator puts all of his / her money into the main body side money handling unit, the main body side money handling unit pays the operator that day. The money for the changed change reserve is deposited, and other money (specifically, the money for the sales proceeds) is returned from the main body side monetary processing unit. Thereafter, the operator puts the money returned from the main body side money handling unit into the additional money handling unit, so that the money is deposited into the additional money handling unit. In this way, money as change reserve and money as sales are deposited into the main body side money processing unit and the additional money processing unit, respectively.

  As still another example, a sales date on the main body side money handling unit side and a sales date on the additional money handling unit side added are set in the control unit 15, respectively, and the main body side money handling unit and the additional money handling unit are set. The operator may be guided by the guiding means 52 so as to deposit money first from the side set as the sales day of the day.
