Therefore, the work of taking in and out the bar B can be further facilitated.

  In other words, in the case of a bar storage section that can store 10 bars B in one place, 10 bars are held in and out by both hands, but 10 bars are held by both hands. However, with 10 500 yen bars, it is 3.5 kg, which is not an easy task for female staff. In addition, since the bar metal storage recess has a shape into which ten bars can be inserted, it is necessary to match the shape of the bar metal group, which makes insertion difficult. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since two bar metal storage recesses 41 capable of storing five bars are provided at one place, the number of bar bars to be gripped at a time is reduced to five, and the bar B is loaded and unloaded. Work can be facilitated. In addition, since the three metal storage areas 51 are arranged in front and the two metal storage areas 52 are arranged on the back side, the five metal bars B can be easily grasped as viewed from the operator side. The shape is easy for women to use. That is, with the thumbs of both hands, the three bars 1 in a row are inserted into and removed from the storage area 51, and the two fingers in both hands are moved into and out of the two storage areas 52 on the back side. Since the bar B can be supported, it becomes easier to hold.

  Further, the two bar metal storage recesses 41 respectively make the bar metal array directions of the three storage areas 51 and the two storage areas 52 orthogonal to the direction of the drawer of the bar metal storage 12 (C). . For this reason, even an inexperienced staff member can smoothly insert the five metal bars B together with both hands without being confused when grasping and inserting them into the metal bar storage recess 41.

  Further, in the two bar metal storage recesses 41, two storage areas 52 are arranged on the back side in the pulling direction of the bar metal storage 12C, and three storage areas 51 are arranged on the front side. Therefore, it is easy to grasp a group of five metal bars B with both hands in a shape matched to the metal bar storage recess 41, and therefore, the five metal bars B can be held with both hands. The operation of taking in and out the concave portion can be further facilitated.

  Further, at the bottom 44 of the bar metal storage recess 41, there are three engagement portions 61 that engage with the lower end crimping portion of the bar B, three in the three storage areas 51 and two in the two storage areas 52, respectively. Since the lower end crimping part of the bar B is engaged with the engaging part 61, the rattling of the bar B in the stored state can be suppressed when the storage 12 is pulled out and pushed in. it can.

  Further, the presence / absence of the bar metal B engaged with each engaging portion 61 and the denomination can be individually detected by the bar metal detecting sensor 62 embedded in each engaging portion 61. Therefore, it is possible to count and manage the number of stored types of the bar B stored in the cash management apparatus 10.

  Further, the bar metal storage recess 41 has a shape having curved wall surfaces 42a on both outer sides in the bar metal array direction of the three storage regions 51 and the two storage regions 52. Therefore, the curved wall surfaces 42a have four corners. The bar B can be guided. Therefore, the five metal bars B can be collected and accurately inserted into the metal bar housing recess 41.

  Also, the position of equidistant from the one storage area 47 in the center of the three storage areas 51 in the bar metal array direction and the one storage area 47 of the two storage areas 52, and the bar metal arrangement of the three storage areas 51 The one storage area 47 at the end on one side in the direction and the central one storage area 47 and the one storage area 47 on the one side of the two storage areas 52 and the three storage areas 51 At the same distance from the one storage area 47 at the end on the other side of the metal rod arrangement direction and the one storage area 47 at the center and the one storage area 47 at the other side of the two storage areas 52, Each of the pins 71 that can maintain the bar B in the standing position is provided. For this reason, the 1 to 4 bar | burr B which is accommodated in the bar metal accommodating recessed part 41 and is not in the full state can be maintained in the standing state with a small number of pins 71.
