That is, the first setting means 107 and the second setting means 108 set which one of the functions of the depositing / dispensing machine and the function of the money changer is to be given priority to the money depositing / dispensing machine 100. It has become. If it is set by the first setting means 107 that one of the first process and the second process is performed with priority, a process that is not set to be performed with priority is performed. It is possible to interrupt a process that is set to be preferentially performed during the process. In addition, when the second setting means 108 is set to preferentially perform one of the first process and the third process, a process that is not set to be preferentially performed is performed. It is possible to interrupt a process that is set to be preferentially performed during the process.

  In the present embodiment, the setting by the first setting means 107 is performed by the operator such as a maintenance staff using the operation display unit 104 when the money depositing / dispensing machine 100 is introduced into the store 420. The process is performed by inputting which process is to be prioritized. Similarly, the setting by the second setting means 108 is performed when an operator such as a maintenance staff performs either the first process or the third process by the operation display unit 104 when the money depositing / dispensing machine 100 is introduced into the store 420. This is done by inputting whether to give priority. The setting by the first setting unit 107 and the second setting unit 108 is not limited to such a mode. As another example, each time the operator processes money with the money depositing / dispensing machine 100, the cashier depositing / dispensing machine 100 is given priority to the function of the cashier or the function of the money changer. The setting by the first setting unit 107 or the second setting unit 108 may be performed by the operator inputting whether to perform the setting using the operation display unit 104 or the POS register 190.
