The presence or absence of removal and replenishment of stored cash is monitored, and each status is transmitted to a storage means along with the time of occurrence, and the control means within the storage means controls the above-mentioned detection means to attach and detach the safe,
Upon receiving a signal indicating that the stored cash has been removed or replenished, time data is read from the built-in clock means, and this fact is recorded in the data storage section along with the time data. Further, when the safe is installed in an automatic cash handling device, it is connected to the control section of the device to exchange data such as the amount of cash stored in the safe and record it in the above-mentioned data storage section as appropriate. Furthermore, the safe has a built-in power supply, and even if the safe is removed from the automatic cash handling device, the above-mentioned detection means, timing means, control means, etc. can be operated continuously. Even if stored cash is removed or replenished in the current state, it is recorded and stored in the data recording means and can be referenced as needed. [Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an automatic cash handling device showing one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram for explaining its operation. In the figure, 1 is a bill payment. An automatic cash handling device that performs deposit processing; 2 is an operation control unit thereof (hereinafter simply referred to as "control unit"); 3 is a safe for storing banknotes 4 to be replenished for payment or collected for settlement, etc. , 5 is the door for taking out and inserting the banknote 4, and 6 is the door 5.
