The coin depositing and wrapping machine 400 performs a storing process, performs a packaging determination in the packaging process (S710), performs a completion process (S711), and ends the depositing process.

The detailed operation of the packaging process in S707 and S710 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 9, during the counting, the MPU 100 obtains the money amount data of the fixed storage 409 notified from, for example, the coin deposit and packaging machine 400 (S80).
1) The data is stored in each count storage area 113a of the data memory 113 and is compared with a condition value set in the data memory 113 (S802).

As a result of this comparison, when the condition value and the count value match, an instruction is given to transfer the loose coins in the fixed storage 409 to the packaging unit 408 at that time, and the designated number of loose coins are wrapped. The processing is executed by the packaging unit 408 (S802). That is, one coin is made of 50 pieces of the loose coins passed from the fixed storage 409. It should be noted that the set condition value is not always exactly a multiple of 50, but may be 50 × n + α. in this case,
The remaining coins from which the coin-rolls have been manufactured, that is, the loose coins having the number α are sent to the fraction storage 413.

The manufactured coin-roll is stored in the coin-roll storage 414 or discharged from the coin-roll releasing section 415 as specified.

As described above, according to this cash processing apparatus, the operator can set the number of packaging start sheets for each denomination on the automatic packaging start sheet number setting screen 450. Even if the loose coins do not become full, the packaging process (manufacture of bar stock) can be performed. Of course, it is also possible to make a bar after it is full as in the conventional case. In addition, the packaging process can be started when coins have accumulated in the fixed storage 409 to some extent, and the packaging process can be completed in a short period of time. be able to.

Further, since coins can be produced by operating the coin depositing and wrapping machine 400 with only the necessary amount when coins are required, the coin depositing and wrapping machine 400 can be effectively used, and the coin depositing and wrapping machine 400 can be used effectively. The operating rate can also be increased.

[0062]

As described above, according to the present invention, after setting a condition value for packaging loose coins, the number of loose coins stored in the coin storing means is counted, and the counted value and the condition value are set. Since the package is manufactured on the basis of the above, cash can be operated in various forms by changing the condition value.

Further, according to the present invention, when a package is required, the coin processing device can be operated by a necessary amount and the package can be manufactured, so that the coin processing device can be effectively utilized and the operating rate can be increased. .

As a result, it is possible to effectively use the coin processing device and to improve the operation efficiency of cash.
