On the other hand, the banknotes 3 sent into the conveyance path 29e are stacked on the temporary stacking section 24 by the front/back alignment mechanism 23 via the conveyance paths 29e and 29f, and then sent to the customer service department 1 via the low speed conveyance path 25.

At this time, the customer service department 1 is in the receiving position shown in FIG. 5(c) in advance, and when the banknotes are sent,
The bill is taken into the bill guide 2, and then the customer service section 1 changes to the deposit/withdrawal position shown in FIG. 5(A), the shutter 5 is opened, and the bill 3 is returned to the customer.

Here, the control unit 33 determines whether the banknotes 3 accumulated on the temporary accumulation tray 16 are equal to or greater than the transfer amount initially input by the customer (S6).

In this case, if the banknotes 3 are returned to the customer as described above, the amount of banknotes 3 on the temporary stack shirt shirt 16 will be less than the transfer amount originally input by the customer.
A guidance display prompting the user to insert the banknotes 30 again is displayed on a CRT (not shown), and the processing operations from S2 are repeated.

When five banknotes 3 are stacked on the temporary stacking shutter 6 by such an operation, the control unit 33 determines whether there is change (S7).

In this case, the transfer amount is 48,000 yen for the 50,000 yen banknotes.
Since the amount is 1,000 yen, it is necessary to pay 2,000 yen in change to the customer. Therefore, in this embodiment, the control section 33 instructs the change payment processing to change the cassette 7 by denomination.
The operation of feeding out the banknotes from the temporary stacking shutter 16 and the storing process of the five banknotes 3 accumulated on the temporary accumulation shutter 16 into the denomination-specific cassette 9 are performed simultaneously as follows.

That is, the motor 39 of the drive mechanism 32 rotates a certain amount in the forward direction according to instructions from the control unit 33, and the rotational force is transmitted to the lever gear 36 via the drive gear 38 and the idle gear 37.

rotates, and the stage 10 rises, and the banknotes 3 on the stage 10 are separated one by one by the banknote separation mechanism 20 and fed out in sequence (S8).

The fed-out banknotes 3 are conveyed to the discrimination section 6 by the conveyance path 29d, where they are discriminated between the front and back of the denomination 2, counted, etc.
Then, the banknote 3 is sent to the conveyance path 29b, and from this conveyance path 29b, it is transferred to the conveyance path 29c or the conveyance path based on the above-mentioned discrimination result and the detection result of the presence or absence of conveyance abnormality. It is sent to route 29e. In other words, banknotes 3 that are confirmed to be 10 million yen notes and for which no conveyance abnormality has been detected are sent to the conveyance path 29e, and banknotes 3 of unknown denomination are sent to the conveyance path 29e.
Banknotes 3 in which a conveyance abnormality such as double feeding or double feeding is detected are transferred to the conveyance path 2.
Sent to 9c.

Here, the banknotes 3 sent into the conveyance path 29e pass through the conveyance paths 29e and 29f, have their front and back sides aligned by the front and back alignment mechanism 23, and are stacked on the temporary stacking section 24.
On the other hand, the banknotes 3 sent into the conveyance path 29c pass through the conveyance paths 29c, 29j, and 29m and are transferred to the reject cassette 2.
It will be collected within 7 days.

In this case, there will be a shortage of change to be paid to the customer, so the banknotes 3 corresponding to the shortage will be fed out again by the banknote separation mechanism 20 from the stage 10 in the denomination cassette 7, and the same operation will be repeated. It will be done.

In this way, when the two thousand yen banknotes 3 are stacked on the stacking section 24, the banknotes 3 are sent to the customer service section l by the low-speed transport 25.

At this time, the customer service department 1 is previously located in the receiving position shown in FIG.

Thereafter, the customer service department 1 changes to the deposit/withdrawal position shown in FIG.
S9).

As described above, the banknotes 30 inserted by the customer are deposited and the change is paid, and the process ends.However, if the control unit 33 determines that there is no change in S7, that is, the banknotes 30 are not used in S2. If the customer inserts, for example, four ten thousand yen banknotes 3 and eight thousand yen banknotes 3, and the banknotes 3 are respectively accumulated on the temporary accumulation shutters 14 and 16, change will be paid. Since this is not necessary, in this case, the banknotes 3 on the temporary accumulation shutter 14.16 are stored in the denomination-specific cassette 7.9 (SIO), and the process ends.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the process of paying change of 1,000 yen notes for inserted banknotes of 10,000 yen notes was described, but change of 1,000 yen notes is paid for inserted banknotes of 10,000 yen notes and 5,000 yen notes. Of course, it is also possible to pay change for a 5,000 yen note for a 10,000 yen note inserted.
