Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a flowchart of a coin exchange method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method of this embodiment can be executed by the coin exchange system 100 of FIG.

In one embodiment, the automated teller machine 110 of the present invention can allow the user to use the currency exchange service without the need to verify the user's identity. To this end, in one embodiment, the automatic teller machine 110 may display a function button corresponding to a coin exchange service on its standby screen. In this way, the user can use the coin exchange service provided by the ATM 110 by directly triggering the above function button without inserting a financial card or inputting other identity information, but it is not limited to this.

Based on this, in step S210, in response to the automatic teller machine 110 triggering the coin exchange service, the automatic teller machine 110 can send a control signal CS to the coin counting device 120, wherein the control signal CS can be used to enable the coin counting function of the coin counting device 120.

In one embodiment, before the control signal CS is received, the coin counting device 120 can close its coin receiving port to prevent coins or other sundries from accidentally entering the coin counting device 120, and can be used after the control signal CS is received. Only then open the coin receiving port, but it is not limited to this.

After that, the user can put a plurality of coins (hereinafter referred to as the first coin) that he wants to change into banknotes into the coin receiving port for the coin counting device 120 to count.

Therefore, in step S220, in response to the coin counting device 120 receiving a plurality of first coins, the coin counting device 120 may notify the automated teller machine 120 of the counting result R1 associated with the plurality of first coins. In some embodiments, the aforementioned first coin may include coins of various denominations, and the coin counting device 120 may generate a corresponding counting result R1 after counting these coins according to their denominations.

For example, assuming that the plurality of first coins inserted into the coin counting device 120 by the user includes 20 50 yuan coins, 11 10 yuan coins, and 20 5 yuan coins, then the coin counting device 120 can place "6 "50 Yuan coins, 11 10 Yuan coins, and 20 5 Yuan coins" are provided to the ATM 110 as the counting result R1, but it is not limited to this.

After that, in step S230, the ATM 110 may estimate the specific amount corresponding to the plurality of first coins according to the counting result R1 of the plurality of first coins, and obtain a plurality of banknotes based on the specific amount.

In some embodiments, the aforementioned specific amount is, for example, the sum of the denominations of the plurality of first coins. Therefore, assuming that the counting result R1 indicates "6 coins of 50 yuan, 11 coins of 10 yuan, and 20 coins of 5 yuan", the specific amount obtained by the ATM 110 is, for example, 510 yuan (ie, 50x6+10x11). +5x20).
