The large bill storage case 8 includes a box 9 having an open upper surface.
And a plate-like lid 10 attached to the box 9.
A plurality of fitting holes 11 are formed on one side of the box 9, and a plurality of locking holes 12 are formed on the other side. A plurality of projections 13 are formed on one side of the lid 10, and a plurality of locking claws 14 that are elastically bent are formed on the other side. That is, the lid 10 fits the projection 13 into the fitting hole 11 and
Is mounted on the box 9 by engaging with the locking holes 12. A slit-shaped bill insertion slot 17 is formed by aligning the notches 15 and 16 provided at the upper edge of one end of the box 9 and one edge of the lid 10. Further, a handle 18 is provided on the upper surface of the lid 10 so as to be able to move up and down.

Then, the lid 10 is locked to the box 9 in a closed state, and the large bill storage case 8 is locked.
There is provided a locking device 19 for removably engaging the large bill storage unit 4 with the large bill storage unit 4. The locking device 19 includes a cylinder lock 20 which is provided on the lid 10 and is unlocked by a key operation of a manager, a latch 21 which rotates together with the cylinder lock 20, and a box 9 so that the latch 21 can be protruded and retracted.
And locking holes 23 and 24 formed in the partition wall 22 of the large bill storage unit 4. Although the locking hole 24 is formed only on one side of the large bill storage unit 4, the engagement between the locking hole 24 and the latch 21 causes the large bill storage unit 4.
To prohibit separation of the large bill storage case 8 from
The dimensional difference in the width direction between the large bill storage unit 4 and the large bill storage case 8 is set to a minimum.

In such a configuration, when performing the sales registration operation, the manager locks the cylinder lock 20. In this state, the latch 21 rotates as shown by a solid line in FIG. 3 and protrudes from the lock hole 24 (see FIG. 1) of the large bill storage unit 4 through the lock hole 23 (see FIG. 1) of the box 9.
