The left-handled portion 11 stores the cash that is taken out when the customer forgets to take it for a predetermined period of time. Each of these parts is controlled by a control part (not shown).

In addition, a general feed route 1-A-M is provided between each mechanism, and a feed roller (not shown), a feed roller, a route branch gate, and a sensor for detecting the presence of banknotes 1a, abnormal stop, etc. are installed at necessary locations. It is being taken.

With such a configuration, the banknotes 1a inserted into the cash input/discharge port 3 are discriminated by the &hi sorting section 5, the amount is counted, and stored in the storage boxes 9a to 9c, and when the money is withdrawn, it is stored. Bills 1a are fed out from the boxes 9a and 9c, discriminated by a discrimination section 5 display, and the amount is counted and dispensed to the cash insertion/dispensing port 3. The 5,000 yen note in the storage box 9b is not currently used for withdrawals.

If there is an imbalance between deposits and withdrawals, of course storage box 9
Since the banknotes 1a are either full or insufficient in the spaces a to 9c, when the banknotes 1a increase or decrease to reach a predetermined amount, a sensor (not shown) detects this and issues an alarm with a buzzer or lamp.

Therefore, the equipment operator must first put the equipment into a hibernation state, and when it is necessary to collect/replenish any of the storage boxes 9a to 9c, remove the relevant storage box from the equipment using a key (not shown) and place it in a predetermined location. Then, the user unlocks the storage box, collects/replenishes the banknotes 1a of the corresponding denomination, and inserts them into the device again. When collection/replenishment is completed, the device is returned to operational status.

In this way, the banknotes 1a are collected/replenished.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

According to the above conventional method, when it is necessary to collect and replenish the banknotes 1a in the storage boxes 9a to 9C, the storage boxes are removed from the device,
Furthermore, the storage box must be opened with a key, which is time-consuming, and the device is put into a dormant state, so no service can be provided to the user during this time.

Especially near the end of the day, when there are many customers in a hurry, it is undesirable to take a long time to replenish a small number of tickets, so there is a need for a method that can replenish products quickly.

[Means for solving problems]
