The storage state is uniformly deposited on the top.

At the outlet end of the feeding belt 124, the belt 124 is discharged after a part of the belt 124 is detached from the upper surface along the inclined edges 130a and 131a of the guide members 130 and 131. pass number is checked by at the gap portion between the 131a crosses the sensing line of the sensor S _6. Solenoid 1 when a predetermined number of sheets are released
32 is demagnetized, and the stopper 134 is projected by the bias of the spring 133, and as shown in FIG.
The coin is ejected by the feeding force of the feeding belt 124, and when the coin passes through the stopper 134, the stopper 134 further projects and locks the peripheral surface of the following coin as shown in FIG. , Stop.

In this way, the predetermined denomination coins are
Released inside and returned as change coins.

As described above, according to the present invention, the banknote depositing / dispensing processing portion and the coin depositing / dispensing processing portion are vertically stacked to form an integrated structure. Processing can be performed in the immediate vicinity of each other,
The convenience in handling can be greatly enhanced.

In particular, the banknote depositing / dispensing processing unit has a flattened unit structure as a whole because the banknotes can be subjected to all processing with the short side direction being the vertical direction. The pay-out belt that constitutes the storage / feed-out section is structured to be inclined, and coins are received in its lower position, resulting in a flattened unit structure as a whole. The height of the machine is not bulky, and even when combined with a POS register of a gas station, the machine can be installed at a high place outdoors, and its utility value can be significantly increased.

By configuring the bill insertion slot as in claim 2, when a plurality of bills are simultaneously inserted, they can be inserted smoothly without being realigned each time. In combination with the fact that the banknotes can be collectively taken in by the cash-in / pay-out processing unit, work efficiency at the handling site can be significantly improved.
