, input the start key 26 (S'I'3). Then, the control unit 8 drives the banknote sorting and i1 counting device 1 F! (
At the same time, the start key 26 is turned on (Sr1 is turned on. As a result, the transaction car 1.T for the first transaction is conveyed to the reading section 113 on the take-in conveyance path 35 (Sr1
). The reading unit 113 reads the transaction data, that is, the account number and transaction amount, on the magnetic stripe 120 of the transaction card T that has been transported (ST5'). Then, the control unit 8 records the read number 11 and the transaction amount in RAMII↑
&(41, enter (Sr1). The transaction card T that has passed through the reading unit 113 is sent to the iJl output n 112 by the action of the sorting game 1-37, 111, and υ1 is issued (Sr1) .

Next, the banknotes P taken out following the transaction card T are conveyed to the discriminator 36 on the take-in conveyance path 35 (STI, 1),
The discrimination unit 36 determines the denomination of the banknote P that has been conveyed,
Distinguish whether it is good or bad, front or back, etc.

As a result, the banknote P has -15 as a result of denomination discrimination and front/back discrimination.
= Accordingly, each denomination is separately divided into accumulation sections 61a, . . . . Further, the denomination signal of the discrimination unit 36 is determined by the interface 12.
The control unit 8 stores the number of coins for each denomination in RAM III in accordance with the denomination signal (ST12).

Then, the transaction card T for the next transaction is detected by the detector 110.
If the banknote P has been taken in without being detected in ST1
2M, the control unit 8 proceeds to step 16.

Further, when the transaction card T for the next transaction is detected by the detector 110 (STI 3), the control unit 8 determines that the banknotes P for the one-time transaction have been taken in, and the banknotes 11iL and 11iL are removed from the slot 32. Stop taking in banknotes P (ST14
). Then, when the counting process for the banknotes P taken in before the transaction card T is detected is completed (STI 5)
, the control unit 8 reads the classified and counted total J1 amount and the transaction amount read from the transaction card T from the RAMII, and determines whether they match (ST16). Then, the control unit 8
If they match, it is determined that the transaction is complete, and the number data and the total number of sheets are sequentially outputted from the RAM II and added to the memory section 9 (STI 7), and the stacking device 43a.
The accumulated banknotes are stored in the corresponding storage 44a (ST18). Then, the content of this transaction in RAMII is printed by the printer section 7 (ST19
), if the transaction card T for the next transaction is accepted (ST20), the same process is repeated from step 3. Furthermore, if the transaction card T for the next transaction has not been taken in (Sr10), the process ends.

In addition, -1- If a rejected banknote is generated during a predetermined transaction, the number of rejected banknotes is stored in the RAM II, and the completion operation is not automatically performed. In this case, the operator manually inputs the amount of the jet banknote from the operation panel, and when the transaction amount on the transaction card matches the amount entered by the machine's 1,000-handed input, the operator instructs the banknote to be stored, and upon completion of the storage, The following transaction processing is performed.

-1- As mentioned above, - the transaction data stored in the transaction card set at the beginning of each transaction is used to perform sorting and counting processing and storage processing for banknotes up to the next transaction card. As a result, the banknotes to be deposited for as many transactions as possible can be set at one time as long as the capacity of the input unit allows, and the transaction data can be checked manually and the deposit amount can be automatically verified, improving processing efficiency. In addition, when it is detected that the next transaction card T is being taken in, the taking operation is inhibited. The banknotes are stored according to the match between the deposit count and the transaction amount using the previous transaction card T, and after this storage, the next transaction is started. Therefore, even if there is a jam or jet in the middle of processing, you can know in which transaction it occurred.
In other words, you can avoid confusion.

In the above embodiment, transaction data is stored on a magnetic stripe, but the transaction data is not limited to this and may be recorded on a barcode.

[Effects of the Invention] 1-What are the advantages of this invention as described in detail? It is possible to provide a deposit aggregation machine that can set the deposited banknotes for the transactions of ul to -h, and can also automatically perform manual verification of the transaction data and the deposited amount, thereby improving processing efficiency.
