The reversing unit, the safe A5, the safe B6, and the safe C7 are the safes corresponding to each denomination of the banknote, the reject safe 8 is the safe for storing the banknote whose identification result in the discrimination unit 3 is indistinguishable, and the old banknote. Collection safe 9
Is an old bill collection safe for storing bills whose discrimination results in the discrimination unit 3 are old style bills, the transmitted light sensor 10 is a sensor for collecting transmitted light data of the bill, and the magnetic sensor 11
Is a sensor for collecting magnetic data of a banknote; an ultraviolet light source 12 is an ultraviolet light source that emits light emitting ink of the new style banknote; and a light receiving sensor 13 is a light emitting ink of the new style banknote with respect to the output of the ultraviolet light source 12. The thickness detection sensor 14 is a thickness detection sensor for detecting the thickness of a bill.

First, a case where an old style banknote is conveyed will be described.

In processing such as depositing and withdrawing, when an old-style banknote is sent to the discriminating section 3, the discriminating section 3 transmits transmitted light data for identifying the denomination of the banknote using the transmitted light sensor 10 and the magnetic sensor 11. , Collects magnetic data, compares it with dictionary data, and identifies denominations. In addition, the discriminating unit 3 outputs the output of the ultraviolet light source 12 for distinguishing the new style banknote from the old style banknote to the banknote, and receives information that the light receiving sensor 13 detects that the banknote is not a new style banknote. Further, the thickness detection sensor 14 receives information indicating whether the thickness of the bill is abnormal. The discriminating unit 3 determines that the banknote is not a new style banknote but is an old style banknote when the identification result is not recognizable, and conveys the banknote to the old banknote collection safe 9.

In this way, the old style banknotes can be collected in the old banknote collection safe 9.

Next, a case where a new style banknote is conveyed will be described.

In the processing such as depositing and withdrawing, when a new style banknote is sent to the discriminating section 3, the discriminating section 3 transmits transmitted light data for identifying the denomination of the banknote with the transmitted light sensor 10 and the magnetic sensor 11. , Collects magnetic data, compares it with dictionary data, and identifies denominations. In addition, the discriminating unit 3 outputs the output of the ultraviolet light source 12 for distinguishing the new style banknote from the old style banknote to the banknote, and receives information indicating that the banknote is a new style banknote by the detection data of the light receiving sensor 13. Further, the thickness detection sensor 14 receives information indicating whether the thickness of the bill is abnormal. The discriminating unit 3 determines that the banknote is a new-style banknote, and if the identification result is not recognizable, the banknote is a new-style banknote, and the destination corresponding to the identification result (safe A5, safe B6, safe C7,
The bill is conveyed to the customer service port 2).

Next, a case where the identification result becomes unidentifiable will be described.

In the processing such as depositing and withdrawing, if the discrimination unit 3 determines that the transmitted light data and magnetic data collected by the transmitted light sensor 10 and the magnetic sensor 11 indicate that the discrimination is impossible, the new style banknote in the light receiving sensor 13 is used. Irrespective of the information of whether or not the bill is not normal or the information of whether or not the thickness of the bill in the thickness detection sensor 14 is abnormal, it is determined that the bill is unrecognizable (the bill is a reject bill), and the transport destination ( The banknotes are conveyed to the customer service entrance 2 and the reject safe 8).

As described above, only old-style banknotes can be collected in the old banknote collection safe 9, and new-style banknotes and rejected banknotes can be transported to the corresponding destination according to the identification result of the discrimination unit 3.
