It will be put on hold. Specifically, the banknote identified as a normal banknote by the depositing identification unit 116 is sent to the denomination temporary holding unit 132 of the corresponding denomination, and the denomination temporary holding unit 132 of this corresponding denomination. If is full, the deposit process is stopped. In addition, old bills among normal bills are sent to the collective temporary holding unit 130. When all the bills inserted into the bill insertion unit 110 are fed into the housing 102 and sent to the deposit rejection unit 120, the collective temporary storage unit 130, or each denomination temporary storage unit 132, the display unit 12 is operated. A message prompting the person to confirm payment is displayed. At this time, when the operator inputs a deposit confirmation command through the operation unit 14, banknotes temporarily held in the collective temporary storage unit 130 or each denomination temporary storage unit 132 are associated with the corresponding collective banknote storage 140. Or sent to each denomination banknote storage 142 and stored in these banknote storages. In this way, a series of operations related to the banknote deposit process in the loose banknote processing unit 100 is completed.

  Next, the operation | movement at the time of performing the payment processing of the rose banknote by the rose banknote processing unit 100 is demonstrated. When the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment is in a standby state, the operator issues a command for starting the banknote withdrawal process including information related to the number of denominations and total amount of banknotes to be dispensed. When the operation unit 14 inputs data to the control unit 10 or an instruction to start the above-described rose banknote dispensing process is transmitted from the external device such as a host terminal to the control unit 10 via the communication interface unit 20, the money to be withdrawn One type of banknote is fed out from each denomination banknote storage 142 one by one to the lower transport unit 146 by the banknote feeding unit 144. And the banknote conveyed by the lower conveyance part 146 identifies the denomination, authenticity, correctness, old and new, etc. by the withdrawal identification part 148, and the banknote identified by the withdrawal identification part 148 is the withdrawal conveyance part 150. Are conveyed one by one. A banknote identified as not a normal banknote by the withdrawal identifying unit 148, that is, a reject banknote, is sent from the withdrawal transport unit 150 to the withdrawal reject unit 154. Further, the banknotes identified as normal banknotes by the withdrawal identifying unit 148 are sent to the rose banknote dispensing unit 152 by the withdrawal transport unit 150 and accumulated in the loose banknote dispensing unit 152. The loose banknote dispensing unit 152 is accessible from the outside of the casing 102 of the loose banknote processing unit 100, and when the banknote dispensing process is completed in the loose banknote processing unit 100, the operator The banknotes accumulated in 152 are manually taken out. Further, by pulling out the upper drawer unit 190 from the front surface of the housing 102 to the front side, the operator accesses the withdrawal rejection unit 154 and takes out the rejected banknote from the withdrawal rejection unit 154 to the outside of the housing 102. Will be able to. In this way, a series of operations relating to the withdrawal processing of the loose bills in the loose bill processing unit 100 is completed.

  Next, the operation | movement at the time of performing the bundling process of a banknote by the bundle banknote processing unit 200 is demonstrated. When the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment is in a standby state, the operator controls the controller 14 by using the operation unit 14 to start a banding process including information related to the number of denominations of the banded banknotes to be formed. 10 or when a command for starting the bundling process is transmitted from an external device such as a higher-level terminal to the control unit 10 via the communication interface unit 20, one or more denominations of the bundling banknote to be formed A banknote of a certain denomination is fed out from the denomination banknote storage 142 one by one to the lower transport section 146 by the banknote feeding section 144. And the banknote conveyed by the lower conveyance part 146 identifies the denomination, authenticity, correctness, old and new, etc. by the withdrawal identification part 148, and the banknote identified by the withdrawal identification part 148 is the withdrawal conveyance part 150. Are conveyed one by one. A banknote identified as not a normal banknote by the withdrawal identifying unit 148, that is, a reject banknote, is sent from the withdrawal transport unit 150 to the withdrawal reject unit 154. Further, the banknotes identified as normal banknotes by the withdrawal identifying unit 148 are sent to one of the upper and lower organized temporary storage units 160 by the withdrawal transport unit 150 to the organized temporary storage unit 160. 160. When the number of banknotes accumulated in the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160 reaches a predetermined number (for example, 100), the bundle of banknotes accumulated in the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160 is transferred to the temporary arrangement and storage unit by the arm unit 210. The bundle of banknotes is taken out from 160 and conveyed to the banding section 212 of the bundle banknote processing unit 200 by the arm section 210. In addition, while the bundle of banknotes is taken out from one of the temporary arrangement and storage sections 160 by the arm unit 210, the banknotes are sent from the withdrawal transport section 150 to the other arrangement and temporary storage section 160, and the other arrangement and temporary storage section. Banknotes are accumulated at 160.

  When a bundle of banknotes taken out from the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160 by the arm unit 210 is conveyed to the banding unit 212 of the banknote processing unit 200 by the arm unit 210, the banding unit 212 receives the banding from the tape setting unit 214. A bundle of banknotes is bound by the banding paper sent to the section 212 to form a banding banknote. The banded banknotes formed by the banding part 212 are conveyed to the banded banknote dispensing part 218 by the banding banknote conveying part 216 so that the operator can manually remove the banded banknotes sent to the banded banknote dispensing part 218. become. Further, the banded banknote transported to the banded banknote dispensing unit 218 by the banded banknote transporting unit 216 is transported from the banded banknote dispensing unit 218 to the banded banknote storage and dispensing transport unit 220 and passes through the banded banknote discriminating unit 222. After that, the banded banknote storage / withdrawal transport unit 220 may store the money in each banded banknote storage cassette 230. When a predetermined number of banded banknotes are formed by performing the above-described process for a denomination of banknotes, the same process is performed for another denomination of banknotes, so that a predetermined number of denominations are also generated. A banded bill is formed. Then, when the number of banded banknotes for each designated denomination is formed by the banding section 212, a series of operations related to the banknote banding process in the bundled banknote processing unit 200 is completed.

  In the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment, when the banknote withdrawal process is performed, before the banknotes fed out from the denomination-type banknote storage 142 reach the rose banknote dispensing part 152, the lower transport unit 146 and the withdrawal When an error such as clogging occurs in the conveyance path of the gold conveyance unit 150, a banknote that has already been paid out from each denomination-type banknote storage 142 (that is, including all banknotes that cause an error on the conveyance path). Banknotes and banknotes stacked in the banknote throwing-out part 152) are taken out of the casing 102 and inserted into the banknote insertion part 110. The banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion part 110 are inserted into the inside of the casing 102. Error bill return processing is performed so that the bills are fed out one by one. The details of the error banknote return process related to such a banknote withdrawal process will be described below with reference to the explanatory diagrams shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 and the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 to 5, in the banknote handling machine shown in FIG. 1, etc., an error relating to the conveyance of banknotes occurs when the withdrawal process is performed, and the banknotes taken out by the error cancellation are transferred to the banknote insertion unit 110. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of banknotes when they are inserted, and FIG. 7 is taken out by error cancellation when an error relating to the conveyance of banknotes occurs when performing a withdrawal process in the banknote handling machine shown in FIG. It is a flowchart which shows operation | movement of a banknote processing machine when a banknote is inserted into the banknote insertion part 110. FIG.

  When the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment performs the withdrawal process of loose banknotes, before the banknotes fed out from the denominated banknote storage 142 reach the loose banknote dispensing section 152, the lower transport section 146 and the withdrawal When an error such as clogging occurs in the conveyance path of the conveyance unit 150, error information is displayed on the display unit 12. Specifically, the display unit 12 displays a message, an operation screen, or the like that instructs the operator to take out a bill jammed in the conveyance path in the housing 102 to the outside of the housing 102 and insert it into the bill insertion unit 110. Is displayed. The operator pulls the drawers 190, 192, and 194 to the near side from the housing 102 of the banknote handling machine by looking at the message and the operation screen displayed on the display unit 12, and the lower transport unit 146 and the withdrawal The banknotes jammed in the transport path of the transport section 150 and the banknotes in the middle of being transported by the lower transport section 146 and the withdrawal transport section 150 are taken out of the housing 102 and inserted into the banknote insertion section 110 (STEP 1). . The operator also takes out the banknotes accumulated in the loose banknote throwing-out section 152 from the loose banknote throwing-out section 152 and puts them into the banknote throwing-in section 110 (STEP 1).

  When a banknote is inserted into the banknote insertion unit 110 in the error banknote return process, the banknotes are fed out one by one by the banknote feeding unit 112 to the deposit conveyance unit 114 (STEP 2). Then, the banknotes fed to the depositing and conveying unit 114 by the bill feeding unit 112 are conveyed by the depositing and conveying unit 114 and identified by the depositing identification unit 116 (STEP 3). A banknote that is recognized as a normal banknote by the depositing identification unit 116 and that is determined to be a banknote corresponding to the denomination and number of sheets specified in the withdrawal process (that is, when the specified number is 50, for example) The banknotes having the number of sheets equal to or less than 50 are (“YES” in STEP 4 and “YES” in STEP 5), as shown by the thick lines in FIG. Or sent directly to the rose banknote throwing-out unit 152 without being sent to each denomination temporary holding unit 132 (STEP 6). Here, the banknotes that are recognized as normal banknotes by the depositing identification unit 116 and that are determined to be banknotes of the denomination and the number of sheets specified in the withdrawal process are originally separated in the withdrawal process. Since the banknotes are accumulated in the banknote throwing unit 152, such banknotes are directly sent to the rose banknote throwing unit 152 even in the error banknote return process. On the other hand, a banknote that could not be identified by the deposit recognition unit 116 or a banknote that was identified as not a normal banknote (“NO” in STEP 4), as indicated by the thick line in FIG. It is sent to the withdrawal reject unit 154 as a reject banknote by the gold transport unit 150 (STEP 7). In addition, the reject banknote sent to the withdrawal rejection unit 154 is handled as the banknote amount (that is, the banknote amount stored in the rose banknote processing unit 100). Here, such a banknote may be suddenly sent to the withdrawal rejection unit 154 as a reject banknote, but once sent to the deposit rejection unit 120, it is once again inserted into the banknote insertion unit 110 and re-identified several times. If the banknote is rejected even if it is repeated, the mode can be switched and sent to the withdrawal reject unit 154. Further, when the bill cannot be directly transferred from the bill insertion unit 110 to the withdrawal / rejection rejection unit 154, it is possible to manually return the banknote in the withdrawal / rejection rejection unit 120 to the withdrawal / rejection rejection unit 154.

  In addition, the banknotes that are recognized as normal banknotes by the depositing identification unit 116 but are determined not to be the banknotes for the denomination and the number of sheets designated in the withdrawal process (“YES” in STEP 4 and “ NO ”), and sent to the collective temporary holding unit 130 or each denomination temporary holding unit 132 by the deposit conveyance unit 114 (STEP 8). That is, the banknotes identified by the deposit recognition unit 116 as not denominated in the withdrawal process, or the number of denominations designated in the withdrawal process (that is, for each denomination of banknotes to be dispensed). The banknotes exceeding the number of sheets) are sent to the collective temporary storage unit 130 or each denomination temporary storage unit 132 by the deposit conveyance unit 114. Here, when an error occurs in the banknote handling machine, the banknotes taken out from the lower conveyance unit 146 and the withdrawal conveyance unit 150 and the banknotes accumulated in the loose banknote dispensing unit 152 are loaded into the banknote insertion unit 110 as they are. In such a case, in the error banknote return process, normally, it is not determined that the banknotes identified by the depositing identification unit 116 are not the denominations and the number of banknotes specified in the withdrawal process. When many banknotes are drawn out from the banknote storage 142 according to the denomination, more than the number of banknotes specified in the withdrawal process may be returned from the banknote insertion unit 110. These are stored in the collective temporary storage unit 130 and each denomination temporary storage unit 132 and returned to the collective banknote storage 140 and each denomination banknote storage 142. Further, when an error occurs in the banknote handling machine, the operator removes banknotes other than the banknotes taken out from the lower transport unit 146 and the withdrawal transport unit 150 and the banknotes stacked in the rose banknote dispensing unit 152 by the operator. Since it is considered that the banknote is inserted into the banknote insertion unit 110 by mistake, the banknote identified by the depositing identification unit 116 is determined not to be the banknote for the denomination and number of sheets specified in the withdrawal process. May be configured to temporarily send the banknote to the deposit reject unit 120, take out the banknote in the deposit reject unit 120, and check whether excess banknotes are mixed, and then return it to the machine from the banknote insertion unit 110.

  The operations shown in STEP 2 to STEP 8 described above are performed until all the bills inserted into the bill insertion unit 110 are fed out into the housing 102 by the bill feeding unit 112 (“NO” in STEP 9). When all the banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion part 110 are fed into the housing 102 by the banknote feeding part 112 (“YES” in STEP 9), they are sent to the rose banknote throwing part 152 by the error banknote return processing described above. If the number of denominated banknotes is the same as the number of denominated banknotes to be sent to the rose banknote dispensing unit 152 in the withdrawal process (“NO” in STEP 10), the banknotes should be withdrawn. Since all the banknotes are accumulated in the loose banknote dispensing unit 152, a series of operations related to the error banknote return processing of the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment is completed. On the other hand, when all the banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion part 110 are fed into the housing 102 by the banknote feeding part 112 (“YES” in STEP 9), the above-mentioned error banknote return processing causes the rose banknote throwing part 152 to When the number of sent banknotes for each denomination is smaller than the number of banknotes for each denomination to be sent to the rose banknote dispensing unit 152 in the withdrawal process (“YES” in STEP 10), the banknotes are withdrawn. Since all the banknotes that should have been not yet accumulated in the rose banknote dispensing unit 152, as shown by the thick line in FIG. The paper is fed to the section 146 and sent to the loose bill dispensing section 152 by the lower transport section 146 and the withdrawal transport section 150 (STEP 11). In this way, all bills to be dispensed are accumulated in the loose bill dispensing unit 152. When all of the shortage of banknotes are sent from each denomination banknote storage 142 to the loose banknote dispensing unit 152, a series of operations related to the error banknote return process of the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment is completed.

  Further, in the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment, when the banknote banding process is performed, before the banknotes fed out from the denomination-type banknote storage 142 reach the organizing temporary storage unit 160, the lower transport unit 146 and the withdrawal are performed. When an error such as clogging occurs in the conveyance path of the conveyance unit 150, all the banknotes including the banknotes already fed out from each denomination-type banknote storage 142 (that is, banknotes that cause errors on the conveyance path) And the banknotes accumulated in the organizing temporary storage unit 160 are taken out of the housing 102 and inserted into the banknote insertion unit 110, and the banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion unit 110 are put into the housing 102 one by one. An error bill return process such as paying out is performed. Details of the error banknote return process related to the banknote bundling process will be described below with reference to the explanatory diagram shown in FIG. 6 and the flowchart shown in FIG. Note that FIG. 6 shows an example of the banknote when the banknote transport error occurs in the banknote processing machine shown in FIG. 1 or the like and the banknote taken out by the error cancellation is inserted into the banknote insertion unit 110. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow, and FIG. 8 shows an error relating to the conveyance of banknotes in the banknote handling machine shown in FIG. It is a flowchart which shows operation | movement of the banknote processing machine when throwing in.

  When performing banknote bundling processing in the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment, before the banknotes fed out from the denomination-type banknote storage 142 reach the sorting and temporary storage section 160, the lower transport section 146 and the withdrawal transport section 150 When an error such as clogging occurs in the transport path, error information is displayed on the display unit 12. Specifically, the display unit 12 displays a message, an operation screen, or the like that instructs the operator to take out a bill jammed in the conveyance path in the housing 102 to the outside of the housing 102 and insert it into the bill insertion unit 110. Is displayed. The operator pulls the drawers 190, 192, and 194 to the near side from the housing 102 of the banknote handling machine by looking at the message and the operation screen displayed on the display unit 12, and the lower transport unit 146 and the withdrawal The banknotes jammed in the transport path of the transport section 150 and the banknotes in the middle of being transported by the lower transport section 146 and the withdrawal transport section 150 are taken out of the casing 102 and are inserted into the banknote insertion section 110 (STEP 21). . The operator also takes out banknotes accumulated in the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160 from the arrangement and temporary storage unit 160 and inserts them into the banknote insertion unit 110 (STEP 21).

  If a banknote is inserted into the banknote insertion unit 110 in the error banknote return process, the banknotes are fed out one by one by the banknote feeding unit 112 to the deposit conveyance unit 114 (STEP 22). Then, the banknotes fed out by the banknote feeding unit 112 to the deposit conveyance unit 114 are conveyed by the deposit conveyance unit 114 and identified by the deposit identification unit 116 (STEP 23). The banknotes that are recognized as normal banknotes by the depositing identification unit 116 and that are determined to be banknotes for the denomination and number of sheets to be banded in the banding process (“YES” in STEP 24 and “YES” in STEP 25) As shown by the thick line in FIG. 6, the deposit conveyance unit 114 and the withdrawal conveyance unit 150 directly send to the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160 without being sent to the collective temporary storage unit 130 or each denomination temporary storage unit 132 ( (STEP 26). Here, the banknotes that are recognized as normal banknotes by the deposit identifying unit 116 and that are determined to be banknotes for the denomination and the number of sheets to be banded in the banding process are temporarily arranged in the banding process. Since the banknotes are accumulated in the holding unit 160, such banknotes are directly sent to the temporary arrangement and holding unit 160 even in the error banknote return process. On the other hand, banknotes that could not be identified by the deposit identification unit 116 or banknotes that were not identified as normal banknotes ("NO" in STEP 24) are rejected by the deposit transport unit 114 and the withdrawal transport unit 150 as reject banknotes. It is sent to the withdrawal reject unit 154 (STEP 27). In addition, the reject banknote sent to the withdrawal rejection unit 154 is handled as the banknote amount (that is, the banknote amount stored in the rose banknote processing unit 100). Here, as in the case of the above withdrawal process, the banknote may be suddenly sent to the withdrawal rejection unit 154 as a reject banknote, but once sent to the deposit rejection unit 120 and again inserted into the banknote insertion unit 110. If the banknote is rejected even if it is repeated several times, the mode can be switched and sent to the withdrawal reject unit 154. Further, when the bill cannot be directly transferred from the bill insertion unit 110 to the withdrawal / rejection rejection unit 154, it is possible to manually return the banknote in the withdrawal / rejection rejection unit 120 to the withdrawal / rejection rejection unit 154.

  In addition, the banknotes that are recognized as normal banknotes by the depositing identification unit 116 but are determined not to be banded in the banding process (“YES” in STEP 24 and “NO” in STEP 25) are deposited and conveyed. The data is sent by the unit 114 to the collective temporary storage unit 130 or each denomination temporary storage unit 132 (STEP 28). That is, the banknote identified by the deposit recognition unit 116 that is not the denomination designated in the banding process, or the banknote exceeding the number corresponding to the number of bundles for each denomination of the banded banknote designated in the banding process. Is sent to the collective temporary storage unit 130 or each denomination temporary storage unit 132 by the deposit transport unit 114. Here, when an error occurs in the banknote handling machine, the banknotes taken out from the lower transport unit 146 and the withdrawal transport unit 150 and the banknotes accumulated in the organizing temporary storage unit 160 are input to the banknote input unit 110 as they are. In the error banknote return process, normally, it is not determined that the banknote identified by the deposit recognition unit 116 is not a banknote to be banded in the banding process. When many banknotes are stacked and fed out, more than the number of banknotes specified in the banding process may be returned from the banknote insertion unit 110. In such a case, the collective temporary storage unit 130 or each It is stored in the denomination temporary holding unit 132 and returned to the collective banknote storage 140 or each denomination banknote storage 142. In addition, when an error occurs in the banknote handling machine, an operator may erroneously delete extra banknotes other than banknotes taken out from the lower transport unit 146 and the withdrawal transport unit 150 and banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage unit 160. Therefore, when it is determined that the banknote identified by the deposit identification unit 116 is not the banknote for the denomination and number of sheets specified in the banding process, The bills may be sent once to the deposit reject unit 120, and the bills in the deposit reject unit 120 may be taken out and checked for any excess bills before being returned from the bill insertion unit 110 to the machine.

  The operations shown in STEP 22 to STEP 28 described above are performed until all the bills inserted into the bill insertion unit 110 are fed out into the housing 102 by the bill feeding unit 112 (“NO” in STEP 29). And when all the banknotes thrown into the banknote insertion part 110 are drawn out in the housing | casing 102 by the banknote feeding part 112 ("YES" of STEP29), they were sent to the arrangement | positioning temporary storage part 160 by said error banknote return process. If the number of denominations of banknotes is the same as the number of denominations of banknotes to be sent to the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160 in the banding process (“NO” in STEP 30), all the banknotes to be banded are arranged. Since the temporary storage unit 160 is in a state of being accumulated, a series of operations related to the error banknote return process of the banknote processing machine according to the present embodiment is completed. On the other hand, when all the bills inserted into the bill insertion unit 110 are fed into the housing 102 by the bill feeding unit 112 (“YES” in STEP 29), the bills are sent to the temporary organizing / holding unit 160 by the error bill return processing described above. When the number of banknotes received for each denomination is less than the number of banknotes for each denomination to be sent to the organizing temporary storage unit 160 in the bundling process (“YES” in STEP 30), all the banknotes to be banded Are not yet accumulated in the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160, so that a shortage of banknotes is drawn out from each denomination banknote storage 142 to the lower conveyance unit 146 by the banknote delivery unit 144 and the lower conveyance unit 146 and the withdrawal conveyance. It is sent by the unit 150 to the temporary arrangement and holding unit 160 (STEP 31). In this way, all the banknotes to be sealed are accumulated in the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160. When all of the shortage of banknotes have been sent from each denomination banknote storage 142 to the organizing and temporary storage unit 160, a series of operations related to the error banknote return process of the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment is completed.

  As described above, in the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment, the banknotes fed out from the denomination banknote storage 142 in the banknote withdrawal process and the banknote banding process are transferred by the lower transport unit 146 and the withdrawal transport unit 150. When an error relating to the conveyance of banknotes occurs when the control unit 10 performs the withdrawal process and the banding process when the rose banknote dispensing unit 152 and the organizing temporary storage unit 160 to be sent are the target units. , Banknotes fed out from the denomination banknote storage 142 in the withdrawal process or the banding process (that is, banknotes jammed in the transport path of the lower transport unit 146 and the withdrawal transport unit 150, and the lower transport unit 146 and the withdrawal transport) Banknotes being conveyed by the unit 150 and banknotes stacked in the rose banknote dispensing unit 152 and the organizing and temporary storage unit 160) and inserted into the banknote insertion unit 110 The parts 114 and dispensing and transporting unit 150 is adapted to perform error banknote return processing sent directly to the object portion. As described above, in the banknote handling machine according to the present embodiment, in the error banknote return process, the banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion unit 110 are sent to the collective temporary storage unit 130 and the denomination temporary storage units 132 to collect the bulk banknotes. It is necessary to redo the withdrawal process and the banding process from the beginning by sending them directly to the target part consisting of the rose banknote throwing part 152 and the organizing temporary holding part 160 instead of temporarily storing them in the bank 140 or the money type banknote storage 142. Therefore, the time required to complete the process can be shortened. More specifically, in the banknote processing machine of the prior art, when an error relating to the conveyance of banknotes occurs when performing the withdrawal process or the banding process, the banknotes are jammed in the conveyance path or are conveyed in the conveyance path. When the banknotes in the middle, and the banknotes accumulated in the rose banknote dispensing part and the organizing temporary storage part are inserted into the banknote insertion part, the banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion part are put into a collective banknote storage or a denomination banknote storage. After all the banknotes once returned and inserted into the banknote insertion part are stored in the collective banknote storage or the money type banknote storage, the withdrawal process and the banding process have been performed again from the beginning. However, when performing such an error banknote return process, all the banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion unit are returned to the collective banknote storage and the money type banknote storage, and when the withdrawal process and the banding process are performed again from the beginning, There has been a problem that it takes time to complete the withdrawal process and the bundling process. In contrast, in the banknote handling machine of the present embodiment, banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion unit 110 are sent to the collective temporary storage unit 130 and each denomination temporary storage unit 132 to be sent to the collective banknote storage 140 or denomination banknotes. Shortening the time it takes to complete the withdrawal process and the banding process by sending directly to the target unit including the rose banknote throwing-out unit 152 and the organizing / temporary holding unit 160, instead of temporarily storing it in the storage 142. Will be able to. In addition, in the conventional banknote handling machine, since it takes time to complete the withdrawal process and the banding process, when the operator is in a hurry, the above-mentioned error banknote return process is performed in order to complete these processes quickly. There is a case where the processing is performed after the gold processing or the bundling processing. In such a case, the operator may forget to perform the error bill return processing after the withdrawal processing or the bundling processing is completed. On the other hand, in the banknote handling machine of the present embodiment, the time required for completing the withdrawal process or the banding process is shortened, so that the error banknote return process is delayed after the withdrawal process or the bandaging process. Can be suppressed as much as possible.

  Moreover, in the banknote processing machine of this Embodiment, as above-mentioned, the control part 10 of the banknote sent to the target part which consists of the rose banknote throwing-out part 152 and the arrangement | positioning temporary storage part 160 by an error banknote return process. When the number is smaller than the number of banknotes to be sent to the target part by the withdrawal process or the banding process, as shown in STEP 11 of FIG. 7 or STEP 31 of FIG. An additional process of feeding out the banknotes and sending them to the target section by the lower transport section 146 and the withdrawal transport section 150 is performed. As a result, a desired number of banknotes can be sent to the loose banknote dispensing unit 152 and the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160, and all the banknotes to be dispensed are accumulated in the discrete banknote dispensing unit 152. Or all the banknotes to be banded are accumulated in the temporary arrangement and storage unit 160.
