When the above processing is performed at the start of operation, the CPU 9 writes the amount of money stacked in the recycle box 6 into the recycle box cash amount area 17 in the inventory management table shown in FIG. Write down the amount. Further, when depositing money, the banknotes set in the deposit slot 3 are fed out one by one, and the verification section 5 determines whether the bills are genuine or false. If the notes are determined to be genuine, they are stacked in the recycling box 6 for each denomination. Note that when the recirculation box 6 is full, genuine bills are stacked in the safe 7. If the ticket is determined to be a reject ticket, it is returned to the reject ticket return slot 2. At this time, the CPU 9 rewrites the amount management table in the amount management area 11 as follows. That is, the amount stacked in the recycling box 6 is added to the amount in the recycling box cash inventory area 17 in the inventory management table shown in FIG. The stacked amounts are added, and the deposited amount is added to the amount in the deposited amount area 19. At the time of withdrawal, the following processing is performed. That is, a specified amount of banknotes is dispensed from the recycling box 6, and the verification section 5 performs authenticity and denomination determination. If the ticket is determined to be a genuine ticket, it is discharged to the withdrawal port 4, and if it is determined to be a rejected ticket, it is stacked in the reject box 8.

At this time, the CPU 9 rewrites the amount management table in the amount management area 11 as follows. That is, the recycle box cash balance area 17 in the cash balance management table shown in FIG.
The amount paid out from the recycling box 6 is subtracted from the value, and the amount of banknotes discharged to the withdrawal port 4 is further added to the value in the withdrawal amount area 20.
