Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a money handling apparatus, and is applicable, for example, to deposit processing for depositing banknotes and/or coins.

For example, in an automatic teller machine such as an ATM (Auto Teller Machine), when a customer deposits cash, he or she often wishes to deposit only banknotes, but relatively rarely wishes to deposit coins. Therefore, when the customer selects the deposit process, the conventional automatic teller machine opens only the banknote shutter to receive only the banknotes (see Patent Document 1). In this conventional automatic transaction machine, when a customer wishes to deposit coins, the automatic transaction machine opens the banknote shutter, displays a coin deposit key for selecting coin deposit, and allows the customer to press the coin deposit key. is selected to open the coin shutter.

For example, in a money handling device installed between a customer and a bank employee at a bank teller window, when the customer selects deposit processing, both the bill shutter and the coin shutter are opened at the same time, and bills and coins are inserted. making it possible.

JP-A-5-324981

By the way, in a state in which both the banknote shutter and the coin shutter of the money handling apparatus are open, for example, a customer may insert only banknotes and not coins.

In this case, when the customer selects the payment completion key, the money handling device closes both the banknote shutter and the coin shutter, and the banknote processing unit and the coin processing unit are configured to detect the number of inserted banknotes and coins, respectively. will be counted. At this time, although no coins have been inserted into the coin processing unit, counting processing is performed assuming that coins have been inserted. Therefore, the coin processing unit searches for coins until timeout is reached. When the timeout expires, the coin processing unit notifies the upper control unit that there are no coins. Therefore, until the coin processing unit completes processing, the banknote processing unit does not process, and the customer has to wait.

Therefore, there is a demand for a money handling device that can shorten the time required for money deposit processing by ending the search for money by the processing unit for money that the customer does not want to deposit.

In order to solve this problem, the money handling device of the present invention includes a coin depositing unit for receiving coins, a bill depositing unit for receiving bills, an operation display unit, and a control unit. , allowing both the insertion of coins into the coin depositing section and the insertion of bills into the bill depositing section; When the customer selects not to insert either coins or banknotes, the control unit terminates the counting process of the coin receiving unit or bill receiving unit based on the selection.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the search of the money by the processing part of the money which a customer does not wish to deposit can be finished, and the time required for deposit processing can be shortened.

(A) Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of a money handling device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(A-1) Configuration of Embodiment FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram showing a configuration example of a money handling device according to an embodiment. FIG. 3 is an external perspective view showing the external configuration of the money handling device according to the embodiment.

The money handling device 1 is, for example, a device that is placed between a bank employee and a customer at a branch counter of a financial institution, and handles money that is deposited or withdrawn by the operation of the bank employee and/or the customer.

2, the money handling apparatus 1 is roughly divided into a main control section 38, a storage section 37, an operation display section 33, a receipt printer 36, a coin processing section 10, and a banknote processing section 20. FIG.

The operation display unit 33 displays a guidance screen, an input screen, a confirmation screen, etc. for each transaction operation of the money handling apparatus 1, and receives information input by a customer. For example, the operation display unit 33 can be a touch panel in which a liquid crystal display and an input device are integrated, or a touchless panel (non-contact panel) that allows the customer to operate the panel without touching the display screen. The operation display unit 33 may also include operation buttons and a display (for example, a sub-display, etc.) provided separately from or in place of the touch panel or the like.

The receipt printer 36 outputs a paper receipt on which the number of denominations of cash handled, the total amount of money, etc. are written in the deposit processing or the withdrawal processing.

The storage unit 37 is a storage area for storing programs and data executed by the main control unit 38, and stores processing results by the main control unit 38. FIG. For example, the storage unit 37 is configured with a nonvolatile memory.

The main control unit 38 is a processing unit or device that controls various functions of the money handling device 1 . The main control unit 38 is composed of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and realizes various functions by executing processing programs (for example, a cash handling program, a transaction processing program, etc.) stored in the storage unit 37. be done. At this time, a computer-readable recording medium recording the program may also be provided. Alternatively, the main controller 38 may be composed of dedicated hardware, or may be composed of a combination of multiple pieces of hardware.

The coin processing unit 10 has a coin deposit/withdrawal unit 11 , a coin identification unit 12 , a coin temporary storage unit 13 , a coin storage box 14 , a coin collection box 15 , a coin return port 16 and a coin processing control unit 17 .

The coin receiving/dispensing unit 11 receives coins thrown in by customers and pays out coins to the customers.

The coin deposit/withdrawal unit 11 has a storage unit for storing inserted coins and a coin shutter that opens and closes the storage unit. According to the instruction from the coin processing control unit 17, the coin depositing/dispensing unit 11 opens the coin shutter when inserting a coin so that the customer can insert a coin. In addition, according to the instruction from the coin processing control unit 17, the coin depositing/dispensing unit 11 closes the coin shutter after the coin is inserted.

A coin detection sensor 11a for detecting the presence of a coin is provided in the storage portion of the coin deposit/withdrawal portion 11. As shown in FIG.

The coin detecting sensor 11a starts sensing (detecting) the interior of the coin receiving/dispensing unit 11 when the coin shutter starts closing operation or after the coin shutter is closed, and outputs an ON signal when a coin in the containing unit is detected. is notified to the coin processing control unit 17, and an OFF signal is notified to the coin processing control unit 17 when no coin is detected in the storage unit. Also, the coin detection sensor 11a senses the inside of the storage unit for a predetermined time-out period.

The coin detection sensor 11a notifies the coin processing control unit 17 of an ON signal within a predetermined time-out period, and the coin processing control unit 17 detects that there are coins in the storage unit. In other words, when the coin detection sensor 11a notifies the ON signal within the predetermined timeout period, the coin detection sensor 11a notifies the coin processing control unit 17 of the ON signal without waiting for the expiration of the timeout period, and the coin processing is started. The control unit 17 detects coins.

Moreover, the coin detection sensor 11a notifies the coin processing control unit 17 of an OFF signal when the coin detection sensor 11a cannot detect a coin in the storage unit within a predetermined time-out period. Here, if the coin detection sensor 11a does not notify the coin processing control unit 17 of the ON signal and the coin processing control unit 17 cannot detect that there is a coin even after the predetermined time-out period has elapsed, the coin processing control unit 17 After the first timeout period has elapsed, a timeout period (also called a retry period) may be measured again, and the sensing of the coin detection sensor 11a may be retried (redetected) within the retry period. When the coin detection sensor 11a does not sense a coin in the storage section, the coin detection sensor 11a notifies the coin processing control section 17 of an OFF signal after the first time-out period or after the retry period has elapsed.

The coin identification unit 12 receives an instruction from the coin processing control unit 17, identifies the denomination of the coin inserted into the coin receiving/dispensing unit 11, and counts the number of coins. Specifically, the coin identification unit 12 is connected to the coin depositing/dispensing unit 11 via the transport path, and counts the number of denominations of coins passing from the coin depositing/dispensing unit 11 through the transport path.

The coin temporary storage unit 13 temporarily accumulates coins when the coin identification unit 12 is counting for discrimination. For example, the coin temporary storage unit 13 temporarily accumulates coins that have been identified as normal by the coin identification unit 12 .

The coin storage 14 is a storage for storing coins by denomination. The coin storage box 14 stores coins discriminated as normal by the coin discriminating unit 12 at the time of deposit. The coin storage 14 is provided with a feeding means for feeding the coins stored therein to a conveying path, and the feeding means feeds and dispenses the coins at the time of payment.

When collecting coins, the coin collection box 15 receives the coins stored in the coin storage box 14 and stores the coins to be collected. Also, the coin collection box 15 is detachable from the device, and can be replaced as necessary.

The coin return port 16 discharges the coins to be returned to the customer among the coins inserted into the coin deposit/withdrawal unit 11 .

The coin processing control unit 17 is composed of a processor, and controls the operation of the entire coin processing unit 10 according to instructions from the main control unit 38 . For example, the coin processing control unit 17 is configured by a CPU, and its function can be realized by having a program developed in the RAM by the CPU and executed. At this time, a computer-readable recording medium recording the program may also be provided. Alternatively, the coin processing control unit 17 may be composed of dedicated hardware, or may be composed of a combination of multiple pieces of hardware.

The banknote processing unit 20 includes a banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 21 , a banknote recognition unit 22 , a banknote temporary storage unit 23 , a banknote storage box 24 , a banknote collection box 25 , a banknote reject box 26 , and a banknote processing control unit 27 .

The banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 21 can function as an input port for receiving banknotes from the outside. For example, the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 21 collectively receives banknotes from the outside during the deposit process. In addition, the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 21 returns banknotes upon cancellation of deposit processing, withdraws banknotes during withdrawal processing, and returns deposited rejected banknotes.

Various mechanisms can be applied to the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 21. For example, the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 21 has a storage unit that stores inserted banknotes and a banknote shutter that opens and closes to open or close the storage unit. In accordance with an instruction from the banknote processing control unit 27, the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 21 opens the banknote shutter when banknotes are inserted, thereby allowing the customer to insert banknotes. Further, according to the instruction from the banknote processing control unit 27, the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 21 closes the banknote shutter after the banknote is inserted.

In addition, a banknote detection sensor 21a for detecting the presence of banknotes is provided inside the storage unit of the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 21 .

The banknote detection sensor 21a starts sensing (detection) inside the storage section of the banknote deposit/withdrawal section 21 when the banknote shutter starts to close or after the banknote shutter closes, and when a banknote in the storage section is detected, an ON signal is generated. is notified to the banknote processing control unit 27, and an OFF signal is notified to the banknote processing control unit 27 when no banknote is detected in the storage unit. Further, the banknote detection sensor 21a senses the inside of the storage unit for a predetermined time-out period.

The banknote detection sensor 21a notifies the ON signal to the banknote processing control unit 27 within a predetermined time-out period, and the banknote processing control unit 27 detects that there are banknotes in the storage unit. In other words, when the banknote detection sensor 21a notifies the ON signal within the predetermined timeout time, the banknote detection sensor 21a notifies the banknote processing control unit 27 of the ON signal without waiting for the timeout time to pass, and the banknote processing is started. The control unit 27 detects bills.

Moreover, the banknote detection sensor 21a notifies the banknote processing control unit 27 of an OFF signal when the banknote cannot be detected in the storage unit within a predetermined time-out period. Here, if the banknote detection sensor 21a does not notify the ON signal to the banknote processing control unit 27 even after a predetermined time-out period has passed, and the banknote processing control unit 27 cannot detect the presence of banknotes, the banknote processing control unit 27 A timeout period (also referred to as a retry period) may be measured again after the first timeout period has elapsed, and the sensing of the banknote detection sensor 21a may be retryed (redetected) within the retry period. When the banknote detection sensor 21a does not detect any banknotes in the storage unit, the banknote detection sensor 21a notifies the banknote processing control unit 27 of an OFF signal after the first time-out period has elapsed or after the retry period has elapsed.

The banknote recognition unit 22 discriminates the denomination and fitness of banknotes received by the banknote depositing/dispensing unit 21 according to instructions from the banknote processing control unit 27, and counts the discriminated banknotes for each denomination.

Here, in the present specification, a fit note means a bank note that is suitable for deposit/withdrawal out of the banknotes that have been discriminated as genuine, and an unfit note is a banknote that has been discriminated as a genuine note. Banknotes that have been identified as unsuitable for withdrawal. Also, the rejection determination is made based on factors such as unfit bills (dirt, damage, external shape abnormality, etc.).

The banknote temporary holding unit 23 temporarily stacks the banknotes discriminated and counted by the banknote recognition unit 22 when counting deposited banknotes. For example, the banknote temporary holding unit 23 temporarily stacks banknotes that have been identified as normal by the banknote recognition unit 22 . Further, the banknote temporary holding unit 23 is provided with a feeding means for feeding the banknotes and sending them to the transport path.

The banknote storage box 24 is a storage box for storing banknotes by denomination, and is a so-called cassette. The banknote storage box 24 stores banknotes by denomination. For example, when the currency is Japanese yen, it stores 1,000-yen notes, 5,000-yen notes, 10,000-yen notes, etc. separately.

The banknote collection box 25 receives banknotes from the banknote storage box 24 and stores the banknotes to be collected when the banknotes are collected.

The banknote reject storage 26 accumulates banknotes rejected by the banknote identification unit 22 (rejected banknotes). For example, the banknote reject box 26 collects rejected banknotes rejected by the banknote identification unit 22 when storing banknotes from the banknote temporary storage unit 23 to the banknote storage unit 24 at the time of deposit. When collecting bills, the bill reject box 26 accumulates rejected bills rejected by the bill recognition unit 22 while the bills to be collected are being transported from the bill storage box 24 to the bill collection box 25 .

The banknote processing control unit 27 is composed of a processor, and controls the operation of the entire banknote processing unit 20 according to instructions from the main control unit 38 . For example, the banknote processing control unit 27 is configured by a CPU, and its function can be realized by having a program developed in the RAM by the CPU and executed. At this time, a computer-readable recording medium recording the program may also be provided. Alternatively, the banknote processing control unit 27 may be composed of dedicated hardware, or may be composed of a combination of multiple pieces of hardware.

(A-2) Operation of Embodiment Next, the operation of deposit processing in the money handling apparatus 1 according to the embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the following, the features of the money handling machine 1 will be described while comparing the money handling machine 1 according to this embodiment with the money handling machine 1 according to this embodiment.

(A-2-1) Conventional Deposit Processing FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing an operation example of conventional deposit processing. For the sake of convenience, the configuration of a conventional automatic transaction device is not illustrated, but it is basically the same as the configuration of the money handling device 1 of the embodiment, and the operation control of each configuration is different.

First, in the conventional automated teller machine, when the customer selects "payment" on the transaction menu screen (S501/YES), the process proceeds to S502, and when the customer selects anything other than "payment" (S501/NO). , the selected process is performed (S520).

In S501, when "deposit" is selected by the customer, the automated teller machine opens the banknote shutter of the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit, and the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit waits for insertion. At this time, the automated teller machine keeps the coin shutter closed (S502).

This is in response to the fact that in conventional automated teller machines, customers generally want to deposit banknotes in most cases, and rarely want to deposit coins. Therefore, for a customer who wishes to deposit only banknotes, if the coin depositing unit performs processes such as opening and closing the shutter, confirming the existence of coins, and counting the denominations, there is a problem that it takes a long time for the processing. . Therefore, as exemplified here, the automated teller machine does not open the coin shutter of the infrequently used coin deposit/withdrawal unit (keep closed), and does not operate the coin processing unit.

After that, when the customer presses the coin deposit key (S503/YES), the automated teller machine opens the coin shutter and makes the coin deposit/withdrawal unit wait for insertion. This enables coin deposit.

In the state of S504, if no banknotes or coins have been inserted, the automated teller machine completes the deposit process when a time-out occurs (S505).

When banknotes and coins are inserted in the state of S504, the automatic transaction apparatus counts banknotes in the banknote processing unit and counts coins in the coin processing unit (S506). Then, when the counting ends (S507), the automated teller machine displays a confirmation screen, the amount of money is confirmed by the customer's operation (S508), and the automated teller machine completes the deposit processing.

In the state of S504, when only coins are inserted, the automatic transaction machine counts the coins in the coin processing unit, but the automatic transaction machine waits for banknotes to be inserted until the timeout time (or retry time) is reached ( S509). Then, when the timeout time (or retry time) is reached, the automatic transaction machine finishes counting (S507), the customer's operation confirms the amount (S508), and the automatic transaction machine completes the deposit processing. do.

In the state of S504, when only banknotes are inserted, the automatic transaction device counts the banknotes in the banknote processing unit, but the automatic transaction device waits for coin insertion until the timeout time (or retry time) is reached (S510). ). Then, when the timeout time (or retry time) is reached, the automatic transaction machine finishes counting (S507), the customer's operation confirms the amount (S508), and the automatic transaction machine completes the deposit processing. do.

On the other hand, in S503, if the customer does not press the coin deposit key (S503/NO), the process proceeds to S511. In this state, when bills are inserted, the automatic transaction machine closes the bill shutter, and the automatic transaction machine counts the bills in the bill processing section (S511). After that, when the customer presses the coin deposit key (S512/YES), the automated teller machine opens the coin shutter, waits for coin insertion, and closes the bill shutter. It is closed and counting is in progress (S513). The automated teller machine can then continue to insert coins.

If the coin deposit key is not pressed in S512, the automated teller machine ends bill counting (S514), the automated teller machine confirms the amount of money by the customer's operation (S508), and the automated teller machine completes the deposit process. .

(A-2-2) Deposit Processing of Embodiment FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the operation of deposit processing in the money handling apparatus 1 according to the embodiment.

First, in the money handling apparatus 1, when the customer selects "deposit" on the transaction menu screen (S101/YES), the process proceeds to S102. On the other hand, if the customer selects anything other than "payment" (S101/NO), the selected process is performed (S150).

In S101, when "deposit" is selected by the customer's operation, the money handling apparatus 1 opens the banknote shutter of the banknote depositing/dispensing unit 21 and the coin shutter of the coin depositing/dispensing unit 11. allows the customer to insert bills and coins (S102).

Here, in the conventional automatic transaction device, only the banknote shutter is opened after selection of deposit, but the money handling device 1 of the embodiment opens both the banknote shutter and the coin shutter, and the customer inserts coins and/or banknotes. be done.

[No bills inserted, no coins inserted]
In the state of S102, if no banknotes or coins have been inserted, the money handling apparatus 1 closes the banknote shutter and the coin shutter (S103).

Here, the operation of the money handling device 1 to close the banknote shutter and the coin shutter will be described. For example, the money handling device 1 displays a screen on the operation display unit 33, and when a customer presses a button, the money handling device 1 closes the banknote shutter and the coin shutter. Further, for example, when a predetermined input waiting time elapses, the money handling device 1 closes the banknote shutter and the coin shutter. The money handling apparatus 1 closes the banknote shutter and the coin shutter by any of the methods described above.

In addition, in S103 of FIG. 1, both the banknote shutter and the coin shutter are closed, but the shutter to which the medium is not inserted remains open, and the detection sensor (the banknote detection sensor 21a or the coin detection The sensor 11a) may sense the inside of the storage unit, and the processing control unit (the banknote processing control unit 27 or the coin processing control unit 17) may check the presence or absence of money.

When the banknote shutter and the coin shutter are closed in S103, the money handling apparatus 1 displays a confirmation screen 800 including a button for indicating the intention not to insert coins or banknotes on the operation display section 33 (S104).

Here, various screen configurations can be applied to the confirmation screen 800 including a button for indicating the intention not to insert coins or banknotes. For example, as exemplified in FIG. 4, buttons such as a "no coin deposit" button 801 and a "no banknote deposit" button 802 are displayed for the customer to specify not to deposit either coins or banknotes. . In the example of FIG. 4, when the "no coin deposit" button 801 is selected, the customer wishes to deposit bills and not to deposit coins, so the coin deposit process ends at this time.

When the banknote shutter and the coin shutter are closed in S<b>103 , the money handling apparatus 1 starts existence confirmation for confirming whether or not there are coins in the storage section of the coin deposit/withdrawal section 11 . Similarly, the money handling apparatus 1 starts existence confirmation for confirming whether or not there are bills in the storage section of the bill depositing/dispensing section 21 (S105).

Here, in S105, the coin processing unit 10 and the banknote processing unit 20 measure time until a predetermined time-out time for confirming the existence of coins and banknotes. A specific description will be given.

For example, in the coin depositing/dispensing unit 11, the coin detection sensor 11a senses the inside of the storage unit of the coin depositing/dispensing unit 11, and if a coin exists, the coin detection sensor 11a notifies an ON signal to the coin processing control unit 17, and the coin processing control unit 17 receives the coin. The processing control unit 17 detects the presence of coins. The coin processing control unit 17 instructs the coin identification unit 12 to perform counting processing, and the coin identification unit 12 counts the denominations of the inserted coins. When no coin exists, the coin detection sensor 11a notifies the coin processing control unit 17 of an OFF signal. After the timeout period has passed, the coin processing control unit 17, which continues to receive the OFF signal, detects that there are no coins. The coin processing control unit 17 completes confirmation of the presence or absence of coins. This process will be described in detail below while exemplifying the manner in which the money is deposited.

Similarly, in the bill depositing/dispensing unit 21, the bill detection sensor 21a senses the inside of the storage unit of the bill depositing/dispensing unit 21, and when a bill is present, the bill detection sensor 21a notifies the bill processing control unit 27 of an ON signal. , the banknote processing control unit 27 detects the presence of banknotes. The banknote processing control unit 27 instructs the banknote recognition unit 22 to perform counting processing, and the banknote recognition unit 22 counts the denominations of the inserted banknotes. Moreover, when there is no banknote, the banknote detection sensor 21a notifies the banknote processing control unit 27 of an OFF signal. Then, when the time-out period elapses, the banknote processing control unit 27, which continues to receive the OFF signal, detects that there is no banknote. The banknote processing control unit 27 completes confirmation of the presence or absence of banknotes. This process will be described in detail below while exemplifying the manner in which the money is deposited.

In S106, since no coins or banknotes are inserted, the timeout time (or retry time) is reached (S106), and the money handling apparatus 1 completes the deposit processing.

[Bills inserted, coins inserted]
In the state of S102, if bills and coins are inserted, then the money handling apparatus 1 closes the bill shutter and the coin shutter (S103).

When the banknote shutter and the coin shutter are closed in S103, the money handling apparatus 1 displays a confirmation screen including a button for indicating intention not to insert coins or banknotes on the operation display unit 33 (S104). In addition, the money handling apparatus 1 starts confirming the existence of coins and bills in the coin depositing/dispensing unit 11 and bill depositing/dispensing unit 21 (S105).

Here, since both banknotes and coins are inserted, in the banknote receiving/dispensing unit 21, the banknote detection sensor 21a notifies the ON signal to the banknote processing control unit 27, and the banknote processing control unit 27 detects the presence of banknotes. Also in the coin receiving/dispensing unit 11, the coin detection sensor 11a sends an ON signal to the coin processing control unit 17, and the coin processing control unit 17 detects that there is a coin (S110). Then, the money handling apparatus 1 counts the number of denominations of the inserted banknotes in the banknote validator 22, and counts the number of denominations of the inserted coins in the coin validator 12 (S111).

After that, when the money handling machine 1 finishes counting (S107), the money handling machine 1 confirms the amount of money by the customer's operation (S108), and the money handling machine 1 completes the deposit processing.

[Without inserting bills, with inserting coins]
In the state of S102, if no bills have been inserted and coins have been inserted, then the money handling apparatus 1 closes the bill shutter and the coin shutter (S103).

When the banknote shutter and the coin shutter are closed in S103, the money handling device 1 displays the confirmation screen 800 of FIG. 4 on the operation display section 33 (S104). Also, the coin deposit/withdrawal unit 11 and the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 21 each start confirming the existence of coins and banknotes (S105).

Here, bills are not inserted, but coins are inserted. In the coin receiving/dispensing unit 11, the coin detection sensor 11a notifies the coin processing control unit 17 of an ON signal, and the coin processing control unit 17 detects that there is a coin. On the other hand, the banknote detection sensor 21a notifies the banknote processing control unit 27 of the OFF signal until the timeout time, and the banknote processing control unit 27 continuously receiving the OFF signal is in the process of checking the presence or absence of banknotes (S120).

4 displayed on the operation display unit 33, the customer selects the "no banknote deposit" button 801 (S121/YES), the money handling apparatus 1 After confirming the presence/absence, the number of inserted coins is counted by the coin identification unit 12 (S122).

If the customer does not select the "no banknote deposit" button 801 on the confirmation screen 800 of FIG. 4 (S121/NO), the process proceeds to S107 when the timeout time is reached (S123). After that, when the money handling machine 1 finishes counting (S107), the money handling machine 1 confirms the amount of money by the customer's operation (S108), and the money handling machine 1 completes the deposit processing.

[insert bills, no coins]
In the state of S102, if bills have been inserted and coins have not been inserted, then the money handling apparatus 1 closes the bill shutter and the coin shutter (S103).

When the banknote shutter and the coin shutter are closed in S103, the money handling device 1 displays the confirmation screen 800 of FIG. 4 on the operation display section 33 (S104). Also, the coin deposit/withdrawal unit 11 and the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 21 each start confirming the existence of coins and banknotes (S105).

Here, bills are inserted and coins are not inserted. Therefore, in the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 21, the banknote detection sensor 21a notifies the ON signal to the banknote processing control unit 27, and the banknote processing control unit 27 detects the presence of banknotes. On the other hand, the coin detection sensor 11a notifies the coin processing control unit 17 of the OFF signal until the timeout time, and the coin processing control unit 17 continuously receiving the OFF signal is in the process of confirming the presence or absence of a coin (S130).

4 displayed on the operation display unit 33, the customer selects the "no coin deposit" button 802 (S131/YES), the money handling apparatus 1 After confirming the presence/absence of bills, the bill identification unit 22 counts the number of inserted bills (S132).

If the customer does not select the "no coin deposit" button 802 on the confirmation screen 800 of FIG. 4 (S131/NO), the process proceeds to S107 when the timeout time is reached (S133). After that, when the money handling machine 1 finishes counting (S107), the money handling machine 1 confirms the amount of money by the customer's operation (S108), and the money handling machine 1 completes the deposit processing.

(A-3) Effect of Embodiment As described above, in this embodiment, when the customer selects deposit, the money handling apparatus opens both the banknote shutter and the coin shutter. Therefore, for the customer who operates the money handling apparatus, banknotes and coins can be deposited at the same time, so that the customer can perform the deposit operation without stress.
