In addition, as described above, it is possible to replenish and collect media such as banknotes, coins, or passbooks for a plurality of automatic machines without manpower such as staff of a financial institution. It also has an effect of contributing to labor saving, improvement of financial efficiency, and centralized management of each medium.

In addition, the transport path is a space portion formed by the first partition wall, which penetrates each of the automatic machines in series from the side direction thereof, and is installed so as to connect each of the automatic machines and the cashier, so that the transport path is automatic. Not only does it not protrude from the back of the machine,
Since the transport path will be supported by the automatic machine, it is possible to install the transport path without the need for a dedicated space for the transport path and supporting equipment, and since the transport path penetrates each automatic machine in series from the side direction. The transfer path can be configured linearly up to the cashier, which is extremely convenient for moving the transfer body.

Further, when a medium is exchanged between the bill depositing / dispensing unit, the coin depositing / dispensing unit, the bookkeeping unit and the carrier of the teller machine or the automatic machine, the medium regulating plate of the medium regulating means provided in the carrier is the bill. , Coins or passbooks are moved to positions corresponding to the respective medium sizes, and when these media are stored in the carrier in this transfer, the medium discharge plate of the medium discharge means is in the direction opposite to the front of the carrier. When moving to facilitate storage and ejecting the medium from the carrier, the medium ejecting plate of the medium ejecting means moves in the front direction to push out the medium, and therefore the medium of different sizes such as paper money, coins, Alternatively, it is possible to obtain an effect that the passbook can be exchanged reliably and smoothly.
