　続いて、紙幣の出金処理について説明する。 Next, banknote withdrawal processing will be described.
　顧客が操作部24で出金処理を選択し、出金する金額を入力したり、出金する金種と枚数を入力する。 The customer selects the withdrawal process in the operation unit 24, inputs the amount to be withdrawn, and enters the denomination and number of withdrawals.
　図１３に示すように、金種別の収納部56から出金分の紙幣を搬送部52に繰り出し、この搬送部52の出金通路60およびリジェクト通路58を通じて出金口19に搬送する。この出金口19に出金された紙幣を顧客が取り出す。 As shown in FIG. 13, the banknotes withdrawn from the denominated storage section 56 are fed to the transport section 52 and transported to the withdrawal port 19 through the withdrawal path 60 and the rejection path 58 of the transport section 52.

　また、上述した入金処理時において、返却貨幣指定手段72により指定された硬貨や紙幣が、投入された硬貨や紙幣の中に不足するか無かった場合でも、収納部39，56に収納されている硬貨や紙幣にて返却可能な場合には、収納部39，56に収納されている硬貨や紙幣を繰り出して返却するようにしてもよい。これにより、返却貨幣指定手段72により指定された硬貨や紙幣を確実に返却できる。この場合、収納部39，56から繰り出して返却した硬貨分や紙幣分の金額を入金額から差し引くようにすればよい。 Further, at the time of the deposit process described above, even if the coins and bills specified by the return currency specifying means 72 are insufficient or not in the inserted coins and bills, they are stored in the storage units 39 and 56. When coins and banknotes can be returned, the coins and banknotes stored in the storage units 39 and 56 may be fed out and returned. Thereby, the coin or banknote designated by the return money designation means 72 can be surely returned. In this case, the amount of coins or bills paid out from the storage units 39 and 56 and returned may be subtracted from the deposit amount.
　さらに、入金処理時において、返却貨幣指定手段72により返却させる貨幣として硬貨および紙幣のいずれかを任意に指定するようにしてもよい。これにより、紙幣を入金する場合でも手元には指定した硬貨を残したり、硬貨を入金する場合でも手元には指定した紙幣を残すことができる。この場合にも、収納部39，56から繰り出して返却した硬貨分や紙幣分の金額を入金額から差し引くようにすればよい。 Furthermore, at the time of deposit processing, any one of coins and banknotes may be arbitrarily designated as money to be returned by the return money designation means 72. Thereby, even when depositing banknotes, the designated coins can be left at hand, or even when coins are deposited, the designated banknote can be left at hand. In this case as well, the amount of coins and banknotes paid out and returned from the storage units 39 and 56 may be subtracted from the deposit amount.
　以上のように、貨幣処理装置11では、硬貨や紙幣を入金する際、返却貨幣指定手段72により返却させる硬貨や紙幣を指定するだけで、投入された硬貨や紙幣の中から返却貨幣指定手段72により指定された硬貨や紙幣を返却できるので、顧客が手元に残しておきたい硬貨や紙幣を選別することなく、必要な硬貨や紙幣を手元に残すことができる。 As described above, in the money handling apparatus 11, when coins or banknotes are deposited, the return money designation means 72 is simply selected from the inserted coins or banknotes by only specifying the coins or banknotes to be returned by the return money designation means 72. Since the coins and banknotes designated by the above can be returned, the necessary coins and banknotes can be left at hand without sorting out the coins and banknotes that the customer wants to keep at hand.
　返却貨幣指定手段72では、返却させる硬貨や紙幣の金種、枚数、金額を指定することができ、顧客の要望に対応できる。 The return money designation means 72 can designate the denomination, number, and amount of coins and bills to be returned, and can respond to customer requests.
　また、投入された硬貨や紙幣の中に、返却貨幣指定手段72により指定された金種、枚数、金額の硬貨や紙幣が不足する場合や無い場合には、その旨を報知手段73により顧客に知らせることができる。 In addition, when the coins and bills designated by the return currency designation means 72 are insufficient or not in the inserted coins and banknotes, the notification means 73 informs the customer of that fact. I can inform you.
　なお、前記実施の形態では、返却貨幣指定手段72により指定された硬貨や紙幣を、正常でない硬貨や紙幣、および識別不能な硬貨や紙幣と同じ場所に返却していたが、異なる場所に返却するようにしてもよい。 In the embodiment described above, the coins and banknotes specified by the return currency specifying means 72 are returned to the same place as the abnormal coins and banknotes and the unidentifiable coins and banknotes, but are returned to different places. You may do it.
　例えば、図１１に示す紙幣処理部14の場合、出金口19を正常でない紙幣や識別不能な紙幣を返却するリジェクト部とし、返却口20を返却貨幣指定手段72により指定された紙幣を返却する返却部とする。さらに、案内通路57のリジェクト通路58と返却通路59との間の振分部61で紙幣を振り分けるようにする。そして、入金処理時に、搬送部52によって搬送する紙幣のうち、識別部54で識別された正常でない紙幣や識別不能な紙幣は、振分部61でリジェクト通路58に振り分けて出金口19に搬送し、また、返却貨幣指定手段72により指定された紙幣は、振分部61で返却通路59に振り分けて返却口20に搬送する。これにより、出金口19からは正常でない紙幣や識別不能な紙幣を取り出すことができ、返却口20からは返却貨幣指定手段72により指定された紙幣を取り出すことができる。そのため、顧客にとって、正常でない紙幣や識別不能な紙幣と、手元に残したい紙幣とを明確に区別することができる。 For example, in the case of the banknote processing unit 14 shown in FIG. 11, the withdrawal port 19 is used as a rejection unit that returns an abnormal banknote or an unidentifiable banknote, and the return port 20 is used to return the banknote designated by the return money designating means 72. Let it be a return part. Further, the banknotes are sorted by the sorting unit 61 between the reject passage 58 and the return passage 59 of the guide passage 57. During the depositing process, among the banknotes transported by the transport unit 52, the banknotes that are not normal or cannot be identified identified by the identification unit 54 are distributed to the rejection passage 58 by the sorting unit 61 and transported to the withdrawal port 19. In addition, the banknote specified by the return money specifying means 72 is distributed to the return passage 59 by the distribution unit 61 and conveyed to the return port 20. As a result, it is possible to take out an abnormal banknote or an unidentifiable banknote from the withdrawal port 19, and it is possible to take out the banknote designated by the return money designating means 72 from the return port 20. Therefore, it is possible for a customer to clearly distinguish a banknote that is not normal or cannot be identified from a banknote that is desired to remain at hand.
　この場合、案内通路57のリジェクト通路58と返却通路59との間の振分部61で紙幣を振り分けるようにしているが、搬送部52にリジェクト通路58と返却通路59とを個別に接続し、搬送部52からリジェクト通路58と返却通路59とにそれぞれ紙幣を振り分けるようにしてもよい。 In this case, the banknotes are sorted by the sorting unit 61 between the reject channel 58 and the return channel 59 of the guide channel 57, but the reject channel 58 and the return channel 59 are individually connected to the transport unit 52, You may make it distribute a banknote from the conveyance part 52 to the rejection channel | path 58 and the return channel | path 59, respectively.
　また、硬貨処理部13についても、正常でない硬貨や識別不能な硬貨を返却するリジェクト部と、返却貨幣指定手段72により指定された紙幣を返却する返却部とをそれぞれ設けてもよい。この場合にも、搬送部33に接続される案内通路の出口側を、リジェクト部に硬貨を送るリジェクト通路と返却部に硬貨を送る返却通路と分け、これらリジェクト通路と返却通路との間の硬貨を振り分ける振分部を設けるようにしてもよし、または、搬送部33にリジェクト通路と返却通路とを個別に接続し、搬送部33からリジェクト通路と返却通路とにそれぞれ硬貨を振り分けるようにしてもよい。 Also, the coin processing unit 13 may be provided with a reject unit that returns an abnormal coin or an unidentifiable coin and a return unit that returns a banknote designated by the return currency designating means 72, respectively. Also in this case, the exit side of the guide passage connected to the transport unit 33 is divided into a reject passage that sends coins to the reject portion and a return passage that sends coins to the return portion, and the coins between the reject passage and the return passage It is possible to provide a sorting unit that sorts the coins, or to connect the reject passage and the return passage individually to the transport unit 33 and sort coins from the transport unit 33 to the reject passage and the return passage, respectively. Good.
