A storage 7, a reject cassette 8 for storing reject bills, and a bill transport motor 9 are provided. A bill transport path 10 for transporting bills between the respective parts is formed.

Next, the operation will be described. First, in a deposit transaction, the shutter 2 is opened, and when a customer inserts a bill into the service entrance 3, the bill is sent to the discriminating section 4 through the transport paths 10a and 10b. A detection sensor (not shown) for detecting the arrival of a bill is installed at the entrance of the discriminating section 4, and the discrimination section 4 discriminates the authenticity and denomination of the bill by using the detection signal as a trigger. Here, when it is determined that the bill is false, the bill is transported to the temporary storage unit 5 through the transport paths 10c and 10d. The bills sent to the temporary storage section 5 are collectively sent to the customer service port 3 via the transport path 10e and returned to the customer when the discrimination of all the deposited bills is completed. If the discrimination section 4 determines that the information is true, the transport paths 10c, 10f, 10
g and 10h, and stored in the denomination storage 6 by denomination.

Next, the dispensing transaction will be described. When the customer specifies a withdrawal amount by operating a customer operation unit (not shown), bills are fed from the denomination storage 6, and the fed bills are sent to the discriminating unit 4 through the transport paths 10i and 10b. The discrimination unit discriminates the authenticity and the denomination of the bill, and the bill determined to be false is sent to the reject cassette 8 through the transport paths 10c, 10f, 10g, and 10j. The banknotes determined to be true are sent to the temporary storage unit 5 through the transport paths 10c and 10d. When the designated amount of banknotes is sent to the temporary storage unit 5, the banknotes are sent to the customer service opening 3 from the transport path 10e. When the shutter 2 is opened, the customer takes out the bill, and the dispensing transaction ends.

[0006] When the banknotes are depleted in the denomination storage 6, the banknotes are replenished from the collective storage 7, which collectively stores a plurality of banknotes, to the banknote storage 6. The replenishment operation will be described. First, a bill is fed from the collective storage 7, and is sent to the discriminating unit 4 via the transport paths 10k and 10b. The bills determined to be false by the discriminating unit 4 are transported by the transport paths 10c and 10c.
f, 10 g, and 10 j and stored in the reject cassette 8. The banknotes determined to be true are transported on the transport paths 10c, 1
After passing through 0f, 10g, and 10h, it is stored in the corresponding safe of the denomination storage 6. The replenishment operation ends when the denomination-specific storage 6 is full.

[0007] When the transaction is completed, a collecting operation for collecting bills in the apparatus 1 is performed. In this case, first, the bills in the denomination storage 6 are sent to the discrimination unit 4 through the transport paths 10i and 10b. Here, the banknote determined to be false is stored in the reject cassette 8 through the transport paths 10c, 10f, 10g, and 10j, and the banknote determined to be true is stored in the transport path 1
It is stored in the collective storage 7 through 0c, 10f, and 10l. All the banknotes in the denomination-type storage 6 are stored in the collective storage 7 or the reject cassette 8, and the collection operation ends.

[0008]
