FIG. 3 is a side view showing the configuration of the sealed bundle payer in the first embodiment.
In FIG. 3, the sealed small bundle payment machine 1 includes an upper unit A and a lower unit B. The upper unit A includes a twist transport unit 41, a transport path 42 for transporting banknotes from the twist transport unit 41, and a plurality of sealing stacks. Unit 43, distribution unit 44 that distributes the banknotes transported by the transport path to each sealing and stacking unit 43, sealing unit that seals a predetermined number of banknotes (for example, 100 sheets) with a paper band and sends them out as a small bundle 45, a collective transport unit 46 that collects a predetermined number of banknotes accumulated in each sealing stacking unit 43 and transports them to the sealing unit 45, and the lower unit B is a small bundle sent out from the sealing unit 45. Is received and conveyed in the vertical direction, a dispensing port 48 for dispensing a small bundle of banknotes conveyed by the elevator section 47, and a plurality of small bundle storages for storing small bundles of banknotes for each denomination 49 (49a, 49b, 9c, 49d), a small bundle hand pusher 50 that moves in the arrangement direction of these small bundle storages 49 and transfers small bundles of banknotes between the elevator unit 47 and the small bundle storages 49, overflow A storage 51 is provided.

In this configuration, when depositing banknotes from the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 2, the banknotes fed out from the banknote storage of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 2 are 1 based on the denomination and number of sheets (in units of 100) input by the operator. When the bills are conveyed one by one, the bills are rotated by 90 degrees so that the bills can be conveyed in the front-rear direction of the sealed bundle payment machine 1 by the twist conveyance unit 41, and then conveyed by the conveyance path 42 to be distributed by the distribution unit 44. Are collected and sorted by type of money.
The distribution of the denominations and the management of the number of accumulated sheets are controlled by the control unit 10 based on the denomination discrimination result and the counting result in the banknote depositing and dispensing machine 2.

When a predetermined number of banknotes (for example, 100 sheets) are stacked on the sealing stacking unit 43, the banknotes are collectively taken out by the batch transporting unit 46 and transported to the sealing unit 45.
A fixed number of banknotes are sealed with a band of paper in the sealing section 45 and transferred to the elevator section 47 as small bundles of banknotes.
Thereafter, the elevator unit 47 is lowered to the position of the small bundle hand pusher 50, the small bundle of banknotes is transferred to the small bundle hand pusher 50, and the small bundle hand pusher 50 is stored in the small bundle storage of the corresponding denomination. It moves to 49 (49a, 49b, 49c, 49d), and a small bundle banknote is accommodated in the small bundle storage 49 (49a, 49b, 49c, 49d).

When the small bundle storage 49 (49a, 49b, 49c, 49d) of the corresponding denomination is full, the elevator unit 47 further descends without passing the small bundle of banknotes to the small bundle hand pusher 50, and the overflow storage 51 Release a small bundle of banknotes.
In addition, as depositing into the sealed small bundle payment machine 1, the stored amount of the banknote storage in the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 2 becomes equal to or larger than a preset capacity (for example, near-full state), and the state is not shown Or when the amount stored in the banknote storage reaches the user's set value and is recognized by the control unit 10 or the like, the banknotes in the banknote storage are automatically sealed in a small bundle payment machine 1. There is a case to move to.
In this case, the number of banknotes to be transferred to the sealed small bundle payment machine 1 is determined in advance, and the banknotes are paid out from the banknote storage of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 2 according to the instruction of the control unit 10, and are small in the same procedure as described above. A bundle of banknotes is created and stored in the small bundle storage 49 (49a, 49b, 49c, 49d).

Further, the sealed small bundle payer 1 raises the small bundle banknotes stored in the small bundle storage 49 (49a, 49b, 49c, 49d) by a stage that can be raised and lowered, and passes them to the small bundle hand pusher 50, The small bundle hand pusher 50 can be conveyed to the elevator unit 47 and discharged from the withdrawal port 48.
Further, the sealed small bundle payment machine 1 raises the small bundle banknotes stored in the small bundle storage 49 (49a, 49b, 49c, 49d) by a stage that can be raised and lowered, and passes them to the small bundle hand pusher 50, It can be moved and stored in another small bundle storage 49 (49a, 49b, 49c, 49d).

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of a small bundle storage in the first embodiment.
In FIG. 4, a plurality of small bundle storages 49 (49a, 49b, 49c, 49d) are arranged for each denomination, and are of a first-in / out stacker system in which small bundles of bills are taken in and out from an opening provided at the top. It is a storage for small bundles of bills.
In this embodiment, the small bundle storage 49a and the small bundle storage 49b are set to store ten thousand yen bills, and the small bundle storage 49c and the small bundle storage 49d store thousand yen bills. It is assumed that it is set as follows.

The operation of the above configuration will be described.
First, the functions of the cash processing apparatus and the sealed small bundle payment machine will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3.
The cash processing apparatus 11 combines the bill depositing / dispensing machine 2 and the sealed small bundle payment machine 1 and has functions such as loading a small bundle machine, automatic sealing, and withdrawal.
In the small bundle machine loading, the bills inserted into the deposit port of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 2 are counted and conveyed to the sealed small bundle payment machine 1 and sealed 100 by 100. This is a function of storing in the bundle storage 49.

Automatic sealing is automatically transported to the small bundle payment machine 1 when the number of banknotes for each denomination of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 2 reaches a predetermined number, and 100 sheets are sealed and applied. This is a function of storing in the small bundle storage 49 of the sealed bundle payment machine 1.
For withdrawal, the small bundle banknotes stored in the small bundle storage 49 of the sealed small bundle payment machine 1 are lifted by a stage that can be raised and lowered, passed to the small bundle hand pusher 50, and lifted by the small bundle hand pusher 50. This is a function of transporting to the portion 47 and discharging from the withdrawal port 48.
In addition, the sealed small bundle payment machine 1 alone can perform manual loading of small bundle banknotes and automatic scrutiny.

The manual loading is a task in which the operator opens the small bundle storage 49 of the sealed small bundle payment machine 1 and the operator directly puts the small bundle banknotes into the small bundle storage 49.
The automatic scrutiny is an operation in which the sealed small bundle payer 1 counts the number of small bundle banknotes stored in the small bundle storage 49 using a sensor or the like (not shown). This automatic scrutiny method is generally a sensor method in which the number of small bundle banknotes is counted with a sensor or the like without moving the small bundle banknotes, and the small bundle banknotes are moved one by one to another small bundle storage 49 and counted. There is a moving method to do.
In the case of the sensor system, the denomination of small bundles of banknotes is not performed. It is possible to hold.

On the other hand, in the case of the movement method, although the denomination of the small bundle banknotes is determined, a long time is required for the detailed inspection, and therefore the detailed inspection cannot be performed every time the outer door is opened and closed unlike the sensor method. Moreover, only the banknote in the bundle of small bundle banknotes cannot be identified only by identifying the denomination of the top banknote of the small bundle banknotes. Although the number of small banknotes can be determined, for example, a part of the banknotes in a small banknote can be replaced with another denomination banknote or replaced with paper that has been cut to the same size as the banknote. The small bundle payment machine 1 cannot be identified. Since the sealed small bundle payer 1 is generally a last-in first-out stacker system, it is difficult to detect even if a lower-order small bundle banknote other than the top is replaced with an unauthorized small bundle banknote.
For this reason, in both cases, manual loading of small bundles of bills is often restricted in order to prevent fraud.

In a financial institution, periodic check work is performed to confirm whether the amount of small bundle banknotes managed by the sealed small bundle payment machine 1 of the cash processing apparatus 11 matches the actual small bundle banknotes. Is stipulated.
This scrutiny operation is not limited to automatic scrutiny, but “visual confirmation” in which the operator checks the actual product by opening the small bundle storage 49 and counts the number of small bundles of banknotes, or once collects all the small bundle banknotes. In many cases, "all recovery" is used together. Although the actual product can be confirmed with visual confirmation and full collection, some financial institutions do not implement this because it takes time and effort.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the officer is informed that there is a small banknote that has stayed in the small bundle storage 49 of the sealed small bundle payment machine 1 for a certain period of time, and prompts check when necessary even in the operation of only the automatic scrutiny. I am doing so.

A storage date storage that stores the date stored in the small bundle storage 49 for each small bundle banknote in the first storage unit 7 in the same configuration as the small bundle storage 49 of the sealed small bundle payment machine 1. When the small bundle banknote is stored in the small bundle storage 49, the control unit 10 stores the stored date in the storage date storage area for each small bundle banknote.
Further, when the small bundle banknote is withdrawn from the small bundle storage 49, the control unit 10 deletes the storage date corresponding to the small bundle banknote from the storage date storage area in the first storage unit 7.
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of storing the storage date in the small bundle storage in the first embodiment, and shows the storage date storage area in the first storage unit 7.

  The storage date storage area 51 includes storage date storage areas 51a, 51b, 51c, and 51d. The storage date storage area 51a stores the storage date of the small bundle banknotes stored in the small bundle storage 49a. The storage area 51b stores the storage date of the small bundle banknote stored in the small bundle storage 49b, the storage date storage area 51c stores the storage date of the small bundle banknote stored in the small bundle storage 49c, The storage date storage area 51d stores the storage date of the small bundle banknotes stored in the small bundle storage 49d. It is assumed that the storage date storage area 51 secures a storage area corresponding to the number of small bundle banknotes that can be stored in the small bundle storage 49.

In the example shown in FIG. 5, the storage date of the small bundle banknotes stored in the small bundle storage 49a is “September 1, 2012”, “September 3, 2012”, “2012” from the lowest order. “September 5”, “September 10, 2012”, and “September 10, 2012” indicate that they are stored in the storage date storage area 51.
Normally, the cash processing apparatus 11 requires the approval of the officers before the start of business at the time of power-on. The presence or absence of small bundle banknotes staying in the small bundle storage 49 of the sealed small bundle payment machine 1 is checked for a set predetermined period, for example, one month or more.

The control unit 10 displays a caution message on the display unit 5 when it is detected that there is a small bundle banknote staying in the small bundle storage 49 of the sealed small bundle payment machine 1 for one month or longer. Urge the officer to confirm.
The caution message displayed on the display unit 5 by the control unit 10 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, “There is a small bundle staying in the small bundle safe. Check the storage ○.” Etc. are configured.

In the example shown in FIG. 5, when the cash processing apparatus 11 is turned on on October 1, 2012, the control unit 10 confirms the storage date storage area 51 in the first storage unit 7 and seals a small bundle. Check for the existence of small bundle banknotes staying in the small bundle storage 49 of the payment machine 1 for one month or more, and store the storage date storage area 51a, that is, the lowest (topmost) of the small bundle storage 49a (storage A) To the fifth bundle), it is detected that the small bundle banknotes stay for more than one month.
At this time, the control unit 10 displays a message such as “There is a small bundle staying in the small bundle safe. Check the storage A”.

As described above, the cash processing apparatus 11 stores the small bundle banknotes stored in the small bundle storage 49 and the small bundle storage 49 of the sealed small bundle payment machine 1 that stores the small bundle banknotes in a first-in last-out manner. The storage unit 51 stores a storage date storage area 51 corresponding to the storage date, and the control unit 10 searches the storage date storage area 51 stored in the first storage unit 7 for a predetermined date. When the presence of a small bundle of bills stored in the small bundle storage 49 over the period is detected, a warning is displayed on the display unit 5.
Moreover, when the cash processing apparatus 11 is a teller machine connected to a network, an alarm may be raised to the management terminal or the host system through communication on the network. In this case, since people other than the branch can check, it is possible to detect even if the officer is cheating.

As described above, in the first embodiment, the control unit confirms the storage date storage area in the second storage unit, and the inside of the small bundle storage of the sealed small bundle payment machine exceeds a preset predetermined period. If there is a small bundle of banknotes staying in the small bundle storage for a predetermined period of time, a warning message is displayed on the display. By doing so, the effect that an illegal small bundle banknote can be discovered at an early stage is acquired.
In addition, it is possible to prompt confirmation of the small bundle banknotes staying in the small bundle storage of the sealed small bundle payment machine at an appropriate timing, and an effect of enabling effective operation is obtained.

Since the configuration of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIGS.
The operation of the configuration of the second embodiment will be described.
The operation of the cash processing apparatus of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, but in the second embodiment, when the small bundle bill payment machine stores the small bundle banknote in the small bundle storage. The control of the operation and the control of the operation when dispensing a small bundle of bills from the small bundle storage are different.
The operation of the sealed bundle payer according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  The small bundle storage 49 of the sealed small bundle payment machine 1 allocates a thousand yen bill to the small bundle storage 49a and the small bundle storage 49b, and assigns a thousand yen bill to the small bundle storage 49c and the small bundle storage 49d. For example, when 10,000 yen bills are allocated to the small bundle storage 49a and the small bundle storage 49b, 5,000 yen bills are allocated to the small bundle storage 49c, and 1000 yen banknotes are allocated to the small bundle storage 49d, etc. In many cases, two or more small bundle storages 49 are assigned to a bundle of banknotes.

In this case, the control unit 10 corresponds to the small bundle storage 49 in which the denomination of the small bundle banknote to be stored is stored when the small bundle banknote is stored in the small bundle storage 49 by the sealed small bundle payment machine 1. The storage date storage area of the first storage unit 7 to be searched is searched, the small bundle storage 49 storing the date when the storage date of the small bundle banknote stored at the lowest position is stored is extracted, and the extracted small bundle A small banknote is stored in the storage 49.
On the other hand, when the control unit 10 withdraws the small bundle banknotes from the small bundle storage 49 by the sealed small bundle payment machine 1, the small bundle storage 49 stores the denominations of the small bundle banknotes to be withdrawn. The storage date storage area of the first storage unit 7 corresponding to is retrieved, and the small bundle storage 49 storing the date when the storage date of the small bundle banknote stored at the lowest position is stored is extracted and extracted. Withdraw a small bundle banknote from the small bundle storage 49.

  For example, the small bundle storage 49a and the small bundle storage 49b are set to store 10,000 yen bills, the small bundle storage 49c and the small bundle storage 49d are set to store thousand yen bills, As shown in FIG. 5, when the storage date is stored in the storage date storage area 51, the control unit 10 stores a small bundle of 10,000 yen bills in the small bundle storage 49 by the sealed small bundle payment machine 1. When searching, the storage date storage area 51 (51a, 51b) of the first storage unit 7 is searched, and the small bundle storage 49b storing the date with the latest storage date of the small bundle banknote stored at the lowest position. And the small banknotes are stored in the extracted small bundle storage 49b. When there is an empty small bundle storage 49, the small bundle banknotes may be stored in the empty small bundle storage 49 with the highest priority.

  On the other hand, when the control unit 10 withdraws a small bundle of 10,000 yen bills from the small bundle storage 49 by the sealed bundle dispenser 1, the storage date storage area 51 (51a, 51b) of the first storage unit 7 is used. ) Is extracted, the small bundle storage 49a storing the date when the storage date of the small bundle banknote stored at the lowest position is stored is extracted, and the small bundle banknote is withdrawn from the extracted small bundle storage 49a. .

As described above, in this embodiment, there are a plurality of small bundle storages 49 for storing small bundle banknotes of the same denomination, and a storage date storage area 51 for storing the stored date for each of the small bundle storages 49. The control part 10 searches the date memorize | stored in the storage date storage area 51, and has memorize | stored the date with the newest storage date of the small bundle banknote stored at the lowest. The small bundle storage 49 is extracted, and the small bundle banknotes are stored in the small bundle storage 49.
Moreover, the control part 10 searches the date memorize | stored in the storage date storage area 51, and extracts the small bundle storage 49 which memorize | stored the date with the oldest storage date of the small bundle banknote stored at the lowest position. Then, a small bundle banknote is withdrawn from the small bundle storage 49.

By doing so, each small bundle storage 49 is last-in first-out, but when viewed between the small bundle storages 49, it leads to the withdrawal of the previously stored small bundle banknotes, and the small bundle banknotes The residence period can be shortened.
As described above, in the second embodiment, in addition to the effects of the first embodiment, the residence time of the small bundle banknotes stored in the small bundle storage of the sealed small bundle payment machine can be shortened. It is possible to obtain an effect that an illegal small bundle banknote can be detected at an early stage.

Since the configuration of the third embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIGS.
The operation of the configuration of the third embodiment will be described.
The operation of the cash processing apparatus of the third embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment. However, in the third embodiment, the control of the movement type automatic scrutiny performed by the sealed bundle payment machine is different. Yes.
The operation of the sealed bundle payer according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3 and FIGS.

  The small bundle storage 49 of the sealed small bundle payment machine 1 allocates a thousand yen bill to the small bundle storage 49a and the small bundle storage 49b, and assigns a thousand yen bill to the small bundle storage 49c and the small bundle storage 49d. For example, when 10,000 yen bills are allocated to the small bundle storage 49a and the small bundle storage 49b, 5,000 yen bills are allocated to the small bundle storage 49c, and 1000 yen banknotes are allocated to the small bundle storage 49d, etc. In many cases, two or more small bundle storages 49 are assigned to a bundle of banknotes.

In this case, at the time of automatic scrutiny of the movement method, among the plurality of small bundle storages 49 to which the same denomination banknotes are assigned, all the small bundle banknotes stored in one small bundle storage 49 are transferred to the other. It moves to the small bundle storage 49 and emptyes one of the small bundle storages 49 to be used as a scrutiny.
After all the small bundle banknotes stored in one small bundle storage 49 are moved to the other small bundle storage 49, the small bundle banknotes are moved to the other small bundle storage 49, and the other small bundle banknote 49 is moved. An old small bundle banknote is stored in a small bundle so that the uppermost small bundle banknote stored in the bundle storage 49 is the oldest small bundle banknote and the lowest bundle banknote is the newest date small bundle banknote. Staying in the storage 49 is prevented.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7, all the small bundle bills of 10,000 yen bills stored in the small bundle storage 49a are moved to the small bundle storage 49b as shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, before the movement of the small bundle banknote, the storage date storage area 51a of the first storage unit 7 has the latest date of the latest bundle banknote (September 10, 2012). The small bundle banknote and the lowest bundle banknote (small bundle banknote 71 shown in FIG. 7) are stored as the small bundle banknote of the oldest date (September 1, 2012), and after the movement of the small bundle banknote, FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, in the storage date storage area 51b of the first storage unit 7, the small bundle banknote (the small bundle banknote 71 shown in FIG. 9) having the oldest date (September 1, 2012) is the oldest bundle. ), The lowest bundle of banknotes is stored as the latest bundle of banknotes (September 10, 2012).

  In this embodiment, when carrying out automatic scrutiny, after moving all the small bundle banknotes stored in one small bundle storage 49 to the other small bundle storage 49, the small bundle banknotes are transferred to the other small bundle storage. The movement to 49 (for example, the movement from the small bundle storage 49a to the small bundle storage 49b) is the lowest bill in the small bundle storage 49 (for example, the small bundle storage 49a). The storage date, that is, the date stored in the storage date storage area 51 of the first storage unit 7 has passed a predetermined period.

On the other hand, the storage date of the lowest bundle of banknotes in the small bundle storage 49 (for example, the small bundle storage 49a), that is, the date stored in the storage date storage area 51 of the first storage unit 7 has a predetermined period. If not, after all the small bundle banknotes stored in one small bundle storage 49 are moved to the other small bundle storage 49, all the small bundle banknotes are moved from the other small bundle storage 49. Returning to the original small bundle storage 49 (for example, moving from the small bundle storage 49a to the small bundle storage 49b and then returning from the small bundle storage 49b to the small bundle storage 49a), normal automatic inspection is performed.
In addition, you may be made to perform periodically the operation | movement which replaces the upper and lower order of a small bundle banknote not at the time of an automatic scrutiny but when the sealing small bundle payment machine 1 is not used.

  As described above, in this embodiment, there are a plurality of small bundle storages 49 for storing small bundle banknotes of the same denomination, and a storage date storage area 51 for storing the stored date for each of the small bundle storages 49. The second storage unit is provided, and the control unit 10 empties one of the small bundle storages 49 out of the small bundle storages 49 and searches for the date stored in the storage date storage area 51 when performing automatic scrutiny. Then, the small bundle storage 49 storing the date when the storage date of the small bundle banknotes stored at the lowest position exceeds the predetermined period is extracted, and all the small bundle banknotes are empty from the small bundle storage 49. The small bundle storage 49 is kept moving.

  As described above, in the third embodiment, in addition to the effects of the first embodiment, all the small banknotes stored in one small bundle storage are transferred to the other small bundle storage in the automatic scrutiny. After moving, there is an effect that it is possible to prevent a small bundle banknote with an old storage date from staying in the small bundle storage by keeping the small bundle banknote moved to the other small bundle storage. can get.

Since the configuration of the fourth embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIGS.
The operation of the configuration of the fourth embodiment will be described.
The operation of the cash processing apparatus of the fourth embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, but in the fourth embodiment, the control of the movement type automatic scrutiny carried out by the sealed bundle payment machine is different. Yes.
The operation of the sealed bundle payer according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3 and FIGS.

  The small bundle storage 49 of the sealed small bundle payment machine 1 allocates a thousand yen bill to the small bundle storage 49a and the small bundle storage 49b, and assigns a thousand yen bill to the small bundle storage 49c and the small bundle storage 49d. For example, when 10,000 yen bills are allocated to the small bundle storage 49a and the small bundle storage 49b, 5,000 yen bills are allocated to the small bundle storage 49c, and 1000 yen banknotes are allocated to the small bundle storage 49d, etc. In many cases, two or more small bundle storages 49 are assigned to a bundle of banknotes.

In this case, at the time of automatic scrutiny of the movement method, among the plurality of small bundle storages 49 to which the same denomination banknotes are assigned, all the small bundle banknotes stored in one small bundle storage 49 The small bundle storage 49 is moved to the small bundle storage 49, and the small bundle storage 49 is emptied and used as a scrutiny.
After performing the automatic scrutiny, the small bundle banknotes are left moved to the small bundle storage 49 used as a scrutiny warehouse, and the top bundle of banknotes stored in the small bundle storage 49 has the oldest date. It is made into a banknote, and an old small bundle banknote is prevented from staying in the small bundle storage 49.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 11, it is set to store 10,000 yen bills in the small bundle storage 49a and the small bundle storage 49b, and the thousand yen bills are stored in the small bundle storage 49c and the small bundle storage 49d. In the case where the storage date is stored in the storage date storage area 51 as shown in FIG. 12, the control unit 10 performs the first inspection when performing the automatic scrutiny by the sealed small bundle payment machine 1. The storage date storage area 51 (51a, 51b) of the storage unit 7 is searched, the storage date (September 1, 2012) of the lowest bundle of banknotes in the storage date storage area 51a, and the storage date storage area 51b. The storage date (September 5, 2012) of the lower small bundle banknote is compared, and the small bundle storage 49 (for example, the small bundle storage 49b) storing the new bundle banknote with the new storage date is used as the scrutiny. use.

Since the control unit 10 uses the small bundle storage 49b storing the small bundle banknotes having a new storage date as a close-up storage, all the small bundle banknotes once stored in the small bundle storage 49b are stored in the small bundle storage. Move to 49a.
The control unit 10 automatically scrutinizes the small bundle storage 49c and the small bundle storage 49d using the empty small bundle storage 49b. The controller 10 finally moves the small bundle banknotes in the small bundle storage 49a to the small bundle storage 49b for automatic scrutiny, but the small bundle banknotes moved to the small bundle storage 49b are in small bundle storage 49a. Returning to FIG. 13, as shown in FIG. 13, it is moved to the small bundle storage 49b.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 12, the storage date storage area 51a of the first storage unit 7 is the lowest-order small bundle banknote (small bundle banknote 71 shown in FIG. 11) before the movement of the small bundle banknote by the automatic scrutiny. Is stored as a small bundle banknote of the oldest date (September 1, 2012), and after the movement of the small bundle banknote by automatic scrutiny, as shown in FIG. 14, the storage date storage area 51b of the first storage unit 7 Is stored as a small bundle banknote (small bundle banknote 71 shown in FIG. 13) of the oldest date (September 1, 2012).

  Moreover, in this embodiment, when one small bundle storage is empty from the start of automatic scrutiny among two small bundle storages that store small bundles of the same denomination, the control unit 10 stores Compare the lowest storage date and the highest storage date of the small bundle banknotes, and if the lowest storage date is older, after moving the small bundle banknote to an empty small bundle storage, Do not return the moved small bundle banknotes to the original small bundle storage. If the uppermost storage date is older, the small bundle banknotes are moved to an empty small bundle storage, and the moved small bundle banknotes are returned to the original small bundle storage.

  For example, when the automatic scrutiny is started again in the state shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the storage date (storage date storage) of the top small bundle banknote among the small bundle banknotes stored in the small bundle storage 49b. Since the storage date of September 1, 2012 stored at the top of the area 51b) is older than the storage date of the lowest bundle (September 5, 2012 stored at the bottom of the storage date storage area 51b), After performing automatic scrutiny using the bundle storage 49a as a scrutiny, the moved small bundle banknotes are returned to the small bundle storage 49b and the process ends.

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, when there are three small bundle storages for storing small bundle banknotes of the same denomination, the lowest order of the small bundle banknotes stored The small bundle storage 49b having the second oldest storage date is used as a close-up storage. In this case, the small bundle storage 49c having the newest lowest storage date of the stored small bundle banknotes is returned to the original small bundle storage 49c after automatic scrutiny, and finally stored. The small bundle bill 49a having the oldest storage date of the small bundle bills is automatically scrutinized, and the small bundle bills are moved to the small bundle bill 49b as a scrutiny.
In addition, you may be made to perform periodically the operation | movement which replaces the upper and lower order of a small bundle banknote not at the time of an automatic scrutiny but when the sealing small bundle payment machine 1 is not used.

  As described above, in this embodiment, there are a plurality of small bundle storages 49 for storing small bundle banknotes of the same denomination, and a storage date storage area 51 for storing the stored date for each of the small bundle storages 49. And the control unit 10 searches the date stored in the storage date storage area 51 when performing automatic scrutiny, and the storage date of the small bundle banknote stored at the lowest position is the most The first small bundle storage 49 that stores the oldest date is extracted from the first small bundle storage 49 that stores the oldest date, and the second small bundle storage 49 that stores the newest date. All the small bundle banknotes stored in the storage 49 are moved to the second small bundle storage 49 storing the latest date.

  In addition, when the automatic scrutiny is performed, the control unit 10 searches for the date stored in the storage date storage area 51 and stores it at the lowest level when there is an empty small bundle storage 49 among the small bundle storages 49. If the storage date of the small bundle banknote is compared with the storage date of the small bundle banknote stored in the top, and the storage date of the top bundle is older than the lowest storage date, After all the small bundle banknotes are moved from the small bundle storage 49 to the empty small bundle storage 49, the small bundle banknotes are returned to the original small bundle storage 49, and the lowest storage date is the highest storage. In the case of the small bundle storage 49 older than the date, all the small bundle banknotes are moved from the small bundle storage 49 to the empty small bundle storage 49.

  As described above, in the fourth embodiment, in addition to the effects of the first embodiment, in the automatic scrutiny, the small date in which the storage date of the small bundle banknote stored at the lowest position is stored is the oldest date. Store all small bundle banknotes stored in the bundle storage by moving them to the small bundle storage that stores the latest date for the storage date of the small bundle banknote stored at the bottom. An effect is obtained that it is possible to prevent a small bundle of old bills from staying in the small bundle storage.
