[0011]
In the first embodiment, when the banknote B is inserted into the banknote insertion slot 3 of the medal lending machine 2 in order to obtain a medal necessary for using the game machine 21 of the gaming facility 1, the inserted banknote B passes through the banknote. As detected by the sensor 14, the control device 13 controls the motor 4s to drive the belt roller 4k and rotate the belt 4p so that the bill B is further drawn into the medal lending machine 2. To do. At that time, the bill identification sensor 15 identifies the authenticity and type of the bill B, and in the case of a bill B that is not a legitimate bill B or a type that cannot be accepted, the belt 4p is reversely rotated to 3 so that most of what is inserted from 3 comes out and is returned to the person who put the bill B into the medal lending machine 2. In the case of a valid bill B and a accepted bill B, the belt 4p is rotated. At this time, the control device 13 performs the control shown in FIG. That is, a signal is received from the control device 12c of the transport line 12 as to whether the bill B is passing through the transport line 12 or a trouble such as a bill jam is occurring, or the bill B may be sent.
If the bill B can be sent, a signal is sent from the control device 13 to control the motor 8c so that the switching unit 8 does not block the feed path 4, and the feed path 4 as shown in FIG. The banknote B is sent out from the banknote outlet 9, and the banknote B is inserted into the merging section 11 by feeding out from the banknote outlet 9, and the feeding direction of the banknote B is gradually turned in the merging section 11.

It is securely held so as to be pinched. If it does in this way, a plurality of bills B can be held in the state where it was certainly arranged. Therefore, even if a banknote jam or trouble occurs in the transport line 12, if the banknote B is stored in the storage unit 6, the medal lending machine 2 is not in a state where it cannot be used. Therefore, the person who uses the game machine can use it happily with less trouble, which is very preferable from the viewpoint of sales.
[0013]
Thus, after the banknote B is accommodated in the accommodating part 6 in the state which cannot use the conveyance line 12, when the banknote B is not inserted and the conveyance line 12 can be received, FIG. As shown in a) and (b), the bill holder 6a is pressed against the bill B, and the roller 6b of the bill holder 6a is rotated by driving the motor 6n to feed the bill B into the return path 7. In this case, when a large number of banknotes B are stacked and stored in the storage unit 6, the banknotes B below the uppermost stacked part are placed on the return path 7 so as to hit the banknote stopper 6e. Prevent B from being sent. The bill B is sent along the return path 7 to turn and turn so as to merge in the middle of the feeding path 4 between the belt 4p and the bill insertion slot 3, and further sent by the feeding path 4 to convey the line 12. Send to. Thus, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the banknote B is accommodated in the accommodating portion 6 and the banknote B in the accommodating portion 6 is conveyed by the branch path 5 and the return path 7.
The banknote B stored in the storage unit 6 may be collected directly from the storage unit 6 by opening the opening / closing door 6f. However, when the transport line 12 is ready for use, the banknote B in the storage unit 6 is quickly sent. It is preferable to return to the path 4 and send it to the transport line and collect it at a place away from a predetermined game machine that is easy to monitor, to prevent fraud.
As described above, in the first embodiment, the medal lending machine 2 can be used even when the transport line 12 cannot be used due to a trouble or the like, so there is no influence on the person using the game machine 21 or the game machine 21. It is possible to eliminate a situation in which the business results are lowered due to trouble.
