Further, during loading, banknotes A that are judged to be rejected by the inspection section 36 are sorted upward at the gate 39a for the first sorting, and upwardly at the gate 39a for the second and third sorting.
The money is accumulated in the withdrawal-time accumulation unit 37 via the lines 39b and 39c.

At this time, the second sort of tickets taken out from the fourth safe 19 and passed through the gate 39b (loaded tickets) and the rejected tickets are the second sorted by the gate 39b and the third sorted by the gate. 39c, so if a rejected ticket occurs, the removal is stopped instantly and the removal is resumed after the rejected ticket has passed through the transportation path R4. Or, the removed ticket (loaded ticket) and the eject ticket are transported in a stacked state.
A method is adopted in which the money is accumulated in the withdrawal-time accumulation unit 37 as it is. Then, when the banknotes A in the fourth safe 19 run out, the loading operation ends.

In addition, when a rejected ticket is generated, as shown in FIG. 21, the rejected ticket is conveyed from the withdrawal-time accumulation unit 37 to the banknote storage chamber 454, taken in one by one by the take-in roller 403, and inspected again. After being inspected by the department 36, the denomination-identified notes are sent to the gate 39a for the first sorting.
The denominations are guided to the lower unit 14b and stored in respective safes 16.47 for each denomination.

On the other hand, the tickets rejected again are guided upward by the gate 39a for the first sorting, and the tickets for the second sorting are guided upward by the gate 39b.
The route is changed due to this, and the item is stored in the empty fourth safe 19.

In the above embodiment, in the loading operation, it was explained that banknotes A are loaded only from the fourth safe 19 which is a loading box, but the banknote storage section 2 of the third safe 18 which is a deposit box
Even if loaded banknotes are set in 2, loading operation is possible.

Next, the flow of banknotes in the inspection operation will be explained based on FIG. 22.

That is, banknotes A in the form of 10,000 yen notes or 1,000 yen notes taken out from the first safe 16 or the second safe 17 are conveyed to the upper unit 14a, inspected by the inspection section 36, and then The route is changed at the gates 39a and 39b and the tickets are stored in the fourth safe 19.When the inspection section 36 finds a ticket that cannot be identified,
The first sort is conveyed downward by the gate 39a, and the 11th... 6th, 9th and 10th distribution is gate 3
9a, 39, the third via 39f, 39i and 39j
The safe 18 is stacked in the stacking section 18a of the safe 18.

In the above embodiment, the first safe 16 is a million yen safe, the second safe 17 is a thousand yen safe, the bill storage section 22 of the third safe 18 is a safe deposit box, and the fourth safe is a safe. Although the case where the first safe 16 is used as a loading box for banknotes 19 has been described, it is also possible to use the first safe 16 as a safe for storing 1,000 yen bills or banknotes other than the above-mentioned bill types, and the second safe 17 can be It is also possible to use it as a 10,000 yen box or a safe for storing banknotes other than the above-mentioned bill types. Furthermore, especially when the ATM is operated on holidays, by storing bills for withdrawal or replenishment in the bill storage section 22 of the third safe 18 and the fourth safe 19, these safes 18 and 19 can also be used as a deposit box.
