Hereinafter, in order to avoid duplicate explanations, the description of the coin processing device 200b will be omitted, and the description of the function and operation of the coin processing device 2 will be continued using the banknote processing device 200a.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an outline of the functional configuration of the banknote processing device 200a. The banknote processing device 200a includes a storage unit 270a, a communication unit 280a, and a control unit 290a in addition to the configurations shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The storage unit 270a is a non-volatile storage device. The storage unit 270a is used for storing information necessary for the operation of the banknote processing device 200a. For example, the setting relating to the type of banknotes to be stored in each storage unit 250a and the setting defining the processing content of the collection process are stored in the storage unit 270a. The communication unit 280a communicates with an external device. For example, by communicating with the coin processing device 200b, the banknote processing device 200a and the coin processing device 200b can cooperate with each other to process money. The operation display unit 295 is a touch panel type liquid crystal display device. The operation display unit 295 functions as an operation unit for inputting various information. The operation display unit 295 also functions as a display unit for displaying various information. For example, the operation display unit 295 is operated to set the bill processing device 200a, change the setting, and give an instruction related to money processing. The control unit 290a controls each unit based on at least one of the information input from the operation display unit 295 and the information acquired from the communication unit 280a. The function of the banknote processing device 200a described in the present embodiment is realized by the control unit 290a controlling each unit while using the information stored in the storage unit 270a.

The banknote processing device 200a has a plurality of storage units 250a. The clerk who uses the banknote processing device 200a can set the type of banknotes to be stored in each storage unit 250a. When the bill processing device 200a processes a plurality of types of currencies including a home currency and a foreign currency, the number of bills in the home currency processed by the bill processing device 200a is larger than the number of bills in the foreign currency. For example, the clerk allocates four of the five storage units 250a shown in FIG. 2 to banknotes in his / her own currency and the remaining one to banknotes in another country's currency. For example, the clerk allocates one denomination of the banknotes of the home currency to each of the four storage units 250a, and stores the banknotes of the home currency in each storage unit 250a by denomination. Hereinafter, the storage unit 250a for storing the banknotes of the home currency is referred to as the storage unit 251a, and the storage unit 250a for storing the banknotes of another country is referred to as the storage unit 252a. In addition, a banknote in the home currency is described as a banknote in the home country, and a banknote in the currency of another country is described as a banknote in another country.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram for explaining a deposit process and a withdrawal process. FIG. 5A is a diagram showing the movement of banknotes in the banknote processing device 200a at the time of deposit processing. FIG. 5B is a diagram showing the movement of banknotes in the banknote processing device 200a during withdrawal processing.

At the time of deposit processing, the banknote processing device 200a accepts at least one of the deposit of the domestic banknote and the deposit of the banknote of another country. When a foreign banknote is deposited, the banknote processing device 200a converts the amount of the foreign banknote into the amount of the domestic banknote based on the exchange rate between the home currency and the foreign currency and executes the deposit process. On the other hand, at the time of withdrawal processing, the banknote processing device 200a does not withdraw the banknotes of other countries, but withdraws only the banknotes of the home country. That is, the banknote processing device 200a can perform deposit processing and withdrawal processing of domestic banknotes and deposit processing of banknotes of other countries.

At the time of deposit processing, banknotes are deposited from the deposit unit 210a. For example, the banknotes placed on the deposit unit 210a are fed out into the device one by one by the banknote feeding unit 211a. The drawn banknotes are conveyed by the conveying unit 230a as shown by the arrows in FIG. 5A. The banknotes identified by the identification unit 240a as depositable are stored in either of the corresponding storage units 251a and 252a. Specifically, domestic banknotes are stored in a plurality of storage units 251a by denomination, and banknotes of other countries are stored in one storage unit 252a in a mixed denomination state regardless of the denomination.

At the time of withdrawal processing, the domestic banknotes to be withdrawn are withdrawn one by one from the storage unit 251a. The delivered domestic banknotes are transported by the transport unit 230a as shown by the arrows in FIG. 5B, and are discharged to the withdrawal unit 220a.

Although not shown in FIG. 5A, there are cases where depositable domestic banknotes are stored in the large cassette 255 during the deposit process. For example, domestic banknotes that could not be stored in the storage unit 251a are stored in the large cassette 255. The storage unit 251a to which the denomination of the home country bill is assigned may become full and the home country bill may not be stored. In such a case, the domestic banknotes that could not be stored in the storage unit 251a are stored in the large cassette 255. Further, for example, domestic banknotes that cannot be used for withdrawal are stored in the large cassette 255. The storage unit 251a stores banknotes that are used as home country banknotes for withdrawal during withdrawal processing. Therefore, the home country bills identified by the identification unit 240a as non-lossy bills, that is, the home country banknotes determined to be unusable for withdrawal, are stored in the large cassette 255 instead of the storage unit 251a.

In this way, even after the domestic banknote storage unit 251a is full, the banknote processing device 200a can continue the deposit processing by storing the domestic banknotes stored in the storage unit 251a in the large cassette 255.

On the other hand, when the storage unit 252a of the banknotes of another country is full, the banknote processing device 200a executes the evacuation process of the banknotes of another country so that the deposit process can be executed. When the number of foreign banknotes stored in the storage unit 252a reaches a preset predetermined number, the control unit 290a of the banknote processing device 200a notifies the clerk of this. Further, the control unit 290a instructs the clerk to execute the evacuation process. For example, the control unit 290a operates and displays information indicating that the storage unit 252a is full, information for instructing the execution of the evacuation process, and information for guiding the work contents of the clerk required for executing the evacuation process. It is displayed on the screen of the part 295. The clerk executes the evacuation process of the banknotes of other countries according to the display of the operation display unit 295.
