　本発明は、複数国の貨幣について、適宜対応して処理することができる貨幣処理装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a money handling apparatus that can process money corresponding to a plurality of countries in an appropriate manner.
　従来から、複数国の貨幣について、適宜対応して処理することができる貨幣処理装置が知られている。例えば、特公平０８－０３１１６０号によって、鑑別対象紙幣の紙幣識別パターンを検知するセンサ部と、鑑別対象紙幣に対応した国を指定するための国指定手段と、各国別の紙幣を鑑別する際の基準とするための鑑別基準パターンデータおよび各国別の紙幣の紙幣識別パターンを検知する際のセンサ部の特性を調整するためのセンサ特性調整用データを記憶する国別データ記憶部と、国指定手段から鑑別対象紙幣に対応した国が指定された場合にセンサ特性調整用データに基づきセンサ部の特性を調整するセンサ調整部と、センサ部による指定国の紙幣の紙幣識別パターン検知に伴う検知データと指定国の紙幣の鑑別基準パターンデータとを比較して指定国に対応した紙幣の金種を鑑別する鑑別部と、を具備することを特徴とする紙幣処理装置が知られている。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a money handling apparatus that can process money corresponding to a plurality of countries as appropriate is known. For example, according to Japanese Patent Publication No. 08-031160, a sensor unit for detecting a banknote identification pattern of a banknote to be identified, a country designating unit for designating a country corresponding to the banknote to be identified, and a banknote for each country Country-specific data storage unit for storing sensor characteristic adjustment data for adjusting the characteristic of the sensor unit when detecting the discrimination reference pattern data for reference and the banknote identification pattern of banknotes for each country, and country designation means A sensor adjustment unit that adjusts the characteristics of the sensor unit based on the sensor characteristic adjustment data when a country corresponding to the banknote to be identified is specified, and detection data associated with the banknote identification pattern detection of the banknote in the specified country by the sensor unit, A banknote processing, comprising: a discrimination section that compares banknote discrimination reference pattern data of a specified country and discriminates a denomination of a banknote corresponding to the specified country. Location is known.
　また、特開２００４－１６４４５８号によって、券種の異なる複数の紙幣を取り込み供給する供給部と、この供給部によって供給された紙幣を搬送する搬送路と、搬送路上の紙幣を判別する第１の判別パラメータを有する紙幣判別部と、この紙幣判別部の判別結果に基づき紙幣を券種別に区分して複数の収納庫の何れかに搬送する搬送制御部と、国毎の券種別パラメータで構成される紙幣判別パラメータを含む紙幣を判別するための第２の判別パラメータを有する主制御部とで構成され、紙幣判別部が、主制御部の第２の判別パラメータから生成した第１の判別パラメータによって紙幣を判別する紙幣処理装置が知られている。 Further, according to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-164458, a supply unit that takes in and supplies a plurality of banknotes having different bill types, a conveyance path that conveys the banknotes supplied by the supply unit, and a first banknote that distinguishes banknotes on the conveyance path It consists of a banknote discriminating section having a discrimination parameter, a transport control section that sorts banknotes into ticket types based on the discrimination results of the banknote discrimination section, and transports them to any of a plurality of storage boxes, and a country-specific ticket type parameter. And a main control unit having a second discrimination parameter for discriminating a banknote including a banknote discrimination parameter, and the banknote discrimination unit uses a first discrimination parameter generated from the second discrimination parameter of the main control unit. 2. Description of the Related Art A banknote handling apparatus that discriminates banknotes is known.
　しかしながら、特公平０８－０３１１６０号の紙幣処理装置では、操作部で処理対象紙幣に対応した国が指定され、そのことによってＲＯＭ（記憶部）に予め記憶されている国別データの中から指定国のデータがＲＡＭの国エリアへ記憶される態様となっており、紙幣処理装置のＲＯＭ（記憶部）内に、複数国の紙幣識別データを記憶させる必要がある。 However, in the banknote processing apparatus of Japanese Patent Publication No. 08-031160, a country corresponding to the banknote to be processed is specified by the operation unit, and accordingly, the specified country is selected from the country-specific data stored in the ROM (storage unit) in advance. Is stored in the country area of the RAM, and it is necessary to store banknote identification data of a plurality of countries in the ROM (storage unit) of the banknote processing apparatus.
　また、特開２００４－１６４４５８号の紙幣処理装置では、主制御部が複数国の紙幣判別パラメータからなるデータベースである紙幣判別パラメータを有しており、やはり、紙幣処理装置のＲＯＭなどからなる主制御部（記憶部）内に、複数国の紙幣識別データを記憶させる必要がある。 In the banknote processing apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-164458, the main control unit has banknote discrimination parameters that are databases of banknote discrimination parameters of a plurality of countries. It is necessary to store banknote identification data of a plurality of countries in the unit (storage unit).
　上述のように、このような従来技術では、予め定まった国の紙幣識別データや紙幣判別パラメータからなる貨幣識別データをＲＯＭなどに記憶させている。このため、紙幣処理装置の製造終了段階で、処理することができる対象国が決まってしまっており、各国に対応した紙幣処理装置を在庫として抱える必要がある。他方、保管費用などを削減するために在庫を減らしてしまうと、顧客から注文の入った紙幣処理装置の在庫が不足する可能性があり、紙幣処理装置の販売機会を失うこととなる。 As described above, in such a conventional technique, currency identification data including banknote identification data and banknote discrimination parameters determined in advance is stored in a ROM or the like. For this reason, the target country which can be processed has been decided in the manufacture end stage of a bill processing device, and it is necessary to have a bill processing device corresponding to each country in stock. On the other hand, if the stock is reduced in order to reduce the storage cost, the stock of the banknote processing apparatus ordered by the customer may be insufficient, and the sales opportunity of the banknote processing apparatus will be lost.
　本発明は、このような点を考慮してなされたものであり、貨幣処理装置を製造する段階ではなく貨幣処理装置を納入する段階で対象国を決定することができ、ひいては、対象国毎に在庫を抱える必要がなく余分な在庫を削減することができ、かつ、顧客の注文に柔軟に対応することで機会損失を低減することができる貨幣処理装置および貨幣処理方法を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in consideration of such points, and the target country can be determined not at the stage of manufacturing the money handling apparatus but at the stage of delivering the money handling apparatus. An object of the present invention is to provide a money handling apparatus and a money handling method that can reduce excess inventory without having to hold inventory, and can reduce opportunity loss by flexibly responding to customer orders. To do.

（ダウンロード）
　最初に、紙幣処理装置の第一ＲＯＭ５１に、記憶媒体取付部１０に取り付けられた記憶媒体８０から対象国の紙幣識別データのみをダウンロードする一連の工程について説明する。 (download)
First, a series of steps for downloading only the banknote identification data of the target country from the storage medium 80 attached to the storage medium attachment unit 10 to the first ROM 51 of the banknote handling apparatus will be described.
　まず、操作部３７から入力される信号によって、紙幣処理装置が起動される（図２および図４の符号９１参照）。その後、記憶媒体取付部１０に、複数国の紙幣識別データを記憶した記憶媒体８０が取り付けられる（なお、記憶媒体取付部１０に記憶媒体８０が取り付けられた後で、紙幣処理装置が起動されてもよい）（図３および図４の符号９１参照）。 First, the bill processing apparatus is activated by a signal input from the operation unit 37 (see reference numeral 91 in FIGS. 2 and 4). Thereafter, a storage medium 80 storing banknote identification data of a plurality of countries is attached to the storage medium attachment unit 10 (Note that after the storage medium 80 is attached to the storage medium attachment unit 10, the bill processing apparatus is activated. (Refer to reference numeral 91 in FIGS. 3 and 4).
　次に、モード切替部７４によって、記憶媒体８０に複数国の紙幣識別データが記憶されているかが確認される（図３および図４の符号９２ａ参照）。そして、記憶媒体８０に複数国の紙幣識別データが記憶されている場合には、モード切替部７４からの信号に基づいて、紙幣変更モードに切り替えるための信号が表示部３６に送られ、表示部３６には対象国を選択するための画像（選択画面）が表示される（図２および図４の符号９３参照）。他方、記憶媒体８０に複数国の紙幣識別データが記憶されていない場合には、紙幣処理装置は後述する通常動作状態になる（図４の符号９９参照）。 Next, it is confirmed by the mode switching unit 74 whether or not banknote identification data of a plurality of countries is stored in the storage medium 80 (see reference numeral 92a in FIGS. 3 and 4). And when the banknote identification data of several countries are memorize | stored in the storage medium 80, the signal for switching to banknote change mode is sent to the display part 36 based on the signal from the mode switching part 74, and a display part is displayed. An image (selection screen) for selecting the target country is displayed at 36 (see reference numeral 93 in FIGS. 2 and 4). On the other hand, when the banknote identification data of several countries are not memorize | stored in the storage medium 80, a banknote processing apparatus will be in the normal operation state mentioned later (refer the code | symbol 99 of FIG. 4).
　上述のように、紙幣処理装置が紙幣変更モードに切り替えられると、操作者によって、操作部３７が操作されて対象国が選択される（図２参照）。そして、操作部３７からの信号に基づいて、対象国選択部７１によって対象国が選択される（図３および図４の符号９４参照）。 As described above, when the bill processing apparatus is switched to the bill change mode, the operator operates the operation unit 37 to select a target country (see FIG. 2). Then, based on the signal from the operation unit 37, the target country selection unit 71 selects the target country (see reference numeral 94 in FIGS. 3 and 4).
　次に、ダウンロード部７２によって、対象国選択部７１で選択された対象国の紙幣識別データのみが記憶媒体８０から第一ＲＯＭ５１にダウンロードされる（図３および図４の符号９６参照）。 Next, only the banknote identification data of the target country selected by the target country selection unit 71 is downloaded from the storage medium 80 to the first ROM 51 by the download unit 72 (see reference numeral 96 in FIGS. 3 and 4).
　このように、第一ＲＯＭ５１に対象国の紙幣識別データがダウンロードされると、データ消去部７３によって、記憶媒体８０に記憶されている複数国の紙幣識別データの全てが消去される（図３および図４の符号９７ａ参照）。その後、紙幣処理装置は後述する通常動作状態になる（図４の符号９９参照）。 As described above, when the banknote identification data of the target country is downloaded to the first ROM 51, all of the banknote identification data of a plurality of countries stored in the storage medium 80 is erased by the data erasure unit 73 (see FIG. 3 and FIG. 3). (See reference numeral 97a in FIG. 4). Thereafter, the banknote handling apparatus enters a normal operation state described later (see reference numeral 99 in FIG. 4).
　上述のように、本実施の形態によれば、記憶媒体取付部１０に記憶媒体８０を取り付け、当該記憶媒体８０に記憶されている複数国の紙幣識別データから対象国を選択することで、選択された対象国の紙幣識別データのみを記憶媒体８０から第一ＲＯＭ５１にダウンロードすることができる。このため、紙幣処理装置を製造する段階ではなく、紙幣処理装置を納入する段階で対象国を容易に決定することができ、ひいては、対象国毎に在庫を抱える必要がなく余分な在庫を削減することができ、かつ、顧客の注文に柔軟に対応することで機会損失を低減することができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the storage medium 80 is attached to the storage medium attachment unit 10, and the target country is selected by selecting the target country from the banknote identification data of a plurality of countries stored in the storage medium 80. Only the banknote identification data of the target country can be downloaded from the storage medium 80 to the first ROM 51. Therefore, the target country can be easily determined not at the stage of manufacturing the banknote processing apparatus but at the stage of delivery of the banknote processing apparatus, and as a result, it is not necessary to have a stock for each target country, thereby reducing excess inventory. It is possible to reduce opportunity loss by flexibly responding to customer orders.
　すなわち、従来の紙幣処理装置では、予め定まった国の紙幣識別データがＲＯＭなどに記憶させている。このため、紙幣処理装置の製造終了段階で、処理することができる対象国が決まってしまっており、各国に対応した紙幣処理装置を在庫として抱える必要がある。他方、保管費用などを削減するために在庫を減らしてしまうと、顧客から注文の入った紙幣処理装置の在庫が不足する可能性があり、紙幣処理装置の販売機会を失うこととなる。 That is, in a conventional banknote processing apparatus, banknote identification data of a predetermined country is stored in a ROM or the like. For this reason, the target country which can be processed has been decided in the manufacture end stage of a bill processing device, and it is necessary to have a bill processing device corresponding to each country in stock. On the other hand, if the stock is reduced in order to reduce the storage cost, the stock of the banknote processing apparatus ordered by the customer may be insufficient, and the sales opportunity of the banknote processing apparatus will be lost.
　これに対して、本実施の形態によれば、顧客への納入段階で（例えば、顧客の店舗に紙幣処理装置を設置する段階で）、記憶媒体取付部１０に記憶媒体８０が取り付けられ、当該記憶媒体８０から第一ＲＯＭ５１に対象国の紙幣識別データがダウンロードされる。このため、対象国を決定することなく紙幣処理装置を製造することができるので、対象国毎に在庫を抱える必要がなくなり、余分な在庫を削減することができる。また、対象国を決定することなく紙幣処理装置を製造して保管することができるので、従来のように顧客の希望する対象国の紙幣を処理することができる紙幣処理装置が無い、というような事態が生じることがなく販売機会を失うことを防止することができる。 On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the storage medium 80 is attached to the storage medium attachment unit 10 at the stage of delivery to the customer (for example, at the stage of installing the banknote handling apparatus in the customer's store), The banknote identification data of the target country is downloaded from the storage medium 80 to the first ROM 51. For this reason, since a banknote processing apparatus can be manufactured without determining an object country, it is not necessary to have stock for every object country, and an excess inventory can be reduced. Moreover, since a banknote processing apparatus can be manufactured and stored without determining a target country, there is no banknote processing apparatus which can process the banknote of the target country which a customer desires like the past. It is possible to prevent losing sales opportunities without causing a situation.
　また、余分な在庫を削減し、かつ、機会損失を低減するために、ＲＯＭなどからなる記憶部５１に対応可能な全ての国（記憶させる時点で紙幣識別データが作成されている全ての国）の最新の紙幣識別データを記憶させることも考えられる。しかしながら、膨大なデータをＲＯＭなどからなる記憶部５１に記憶させるためには記憶部５１を大容量にする必要があり、紙幣処理装置の製造コストが高くなってしまう。 Further, in order to reduce excess inventory and reduce opportunity loss, all countries that can support the storage unit 51 such as a ROM (all countries in which banknote identification data is created at the time of storage) It is also conceivable to store the latest banknote identification data. However, in order to store an enormous amount of data in the storage unit 51 such as a ROM, the storage unit 51 needs to have a large capacity, which increases the manufacturing cost of the banknote processing apparatus.
　これに対して、本実施の形態では、ＲＯＭなどからなる記憶部５１と比較すると処理速度は遅いが安価に製造することができるＳＤカードやＵＳＢメモリーなどからなる記憶媒体８０に、対応可能な全ての国の最新の紙幣識別データを記憶させ、ダウンロードが必要な対象国の紙幣識別データだけを記憶部５１に記憶させることができるので、紙幣処理装置の製造コストを低く抑えることができる。 On the other hand, in the present embodiment, all of the storage media 80 such as an SD card or a USB memory that can be manufactured at a low cost compared with the storage unit 51 such as a ROM, but can be manufactured at a low cost. The latest banknote identification data of the country can be stored, and only the banknote identification data of the target country that needs to be downloaded can be stored in the storage unit 51, so that the manufacturing cost of the banknote processing apparatus can be kept low.
　さらに、上述のように、本実施の形態では、第一ＲＯＭ５１に対象国の紙幣識別データがダウンロードされると、記憶媒体８０に記憶されている複数国の紙幣識別データの全てが消去される。このため、第一ＲＯＭ５１に対象国の紙幣識別データをダウンロードした後で、記憶媒体８０が記憶媒体取付部１０から取り出されて、当該記憶媒体８０に記憶されている複数国の紙幣識別データが不正にコピーされることを防止することができる。 Furthermore, as described above, in the present embodiment, when the banknote identification data of the target country is downloaded to the first ROM 51, all the banknote identification data of a plurality of countries stored in the storage medium 80 are erased.

　以下、上述した実施の形態の変形例について、説明する。 (Modification)
Hereinafter, modifications of the above-described embodiment will be described.
ダウンロード部７２の変形例
　上述した実施の形態におけるダウンロード部７２は、記憶媒体８０に複数国の紙幣識別データが記憶されているかを確認し、記憶媒体８０に複数国の紙幣識別データが記憶されている場合のみに、記憶媒体８０から第一ＲＯＭ５１に対象国選択部７１で選択された対象国の紙幣識別データをダウンロードするように構成されていた。 Modified Example of Download Unit 72 The download unit 72 in the above-described embodiment confirms whether banknote identification data of a plurality of countries is stored in the storage medium 80, and the banknote identification data of a plurality of countries is stored in the storage medium 80. The banknote identification data of the target country selected by the target country selection unit 71 is downloaded from the storage medium 80 to the first ROM 51 only when it is present.
　しかしながら、これに限られることはなく、例えば、ダウンロード部７２が、第一ＲＯＭ５１に対象国の紙幣識別データが記憶されているか確認をし、第一ＲＯＭ５１に紙幣識別データが未だ記憶されていないときに、記憶媒体８０から第一ＲＯＭ５１に対象国選択部７１で選択された対象国の紙幣識別データをダウンロードするように構成されていてもよい（ダウンロード部７２の変形例１）（図５（ａ）の符号９２ｂ参照）。 However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the download unit 72 confirms whether the banknote identification data of the target country is stored in the first ROM 51 and the banknote identification data is not yet stored in the first ROM 51. In addition, the bill identification data of the target country selected by the target country selection unit 71 may be downloaded from the storage medium 80 to the first ROM 51 (Modification 1 of the download unit 72) (FIG. 5A )).
　この場合には、第一ＲＯＭ５１に記憶されているデータを基準として、ダウンロードが既に行われているかを判断することができるので、対象国の紙幣識別データを第一ＲＯＭ５１に確実に記憶させることができる。 In this case, since it is possible to determine whether the download has already been performed based on the data stored in the first ROM 51, the banknote identification data of the target country can be reliably stored in the first ROM 51. it can.
　また、紙幣処理装置の製造段階で、動作テストを行うために第一ＲＯＭ５１にダミー紙幣に関するダミーデータ（紙幣識別データとは異なる特定データ）が記憶されている場合には、ダウンロード部７２は、第一ＲＯＭ５１にダミーデータが記憶されているかを確認し、第一ＲＯＭ５１にダミーデータが記憶されている場合のみに、記憶媒体８０から第一ＲＯＭ５１に対象国選択部７１で選択された対象国の紙幣識別データをダウンロードするように構成されていてもよい（ダウンロード部７２の変形例２）（図５（ｂ）の符号９２ｃ参照）。 Further, in the manufacturing stage of the banknote handling apparatus, when dummy data relating to dummy banknotes (specific data different from banknote identification data) is stored in the first ROM 51 in order to perform an operation test, the download unit 72 It is confirmed whether dummy data is stored in one ROM 51, and only when the dummy data is stored in the first ROM 51, the banknote of the target country selected by the target country selection unit 71 from the storage medium 80 to the first ROM 51. The identification data may be downloaded (Modification 2 of the download unit 72) (see reference numeral 92c in FIG. 5B).
　この場合にも、やはり、第一ＲＯＭ５１に記憶されているデータを基準として、ダウンロードが既に行われているかを判断することができるので、対象国の紙幣識別データを第一ＲＯＭ５１に確実に記憶させることができる。なお、対象国の紙幣識別データが第一ＲＯＭ５１にダウンロードされると、第一ＲＯＭ５１に記憶されているダミーデータは消去されることとなる。 Also in this case, since it is possible to determine whether the download has already been performed based on the data stored in the first ROM 51, the banknote identification data of the target country is reliably stored in the first ROM 51. be able to. Note that when the banknote identification data of the target country is downloaded to the first ROM 51, the dummy data stored in the first ROM 51 is deleted.
　また、図６に示すように、本体制御部６０は、記憶媒体８０から第一ＲＯＭ５１に紙幣識別データがダウンロードされた回数を記憶媒体８０に記憶させる記録部７５を有していてもよい。そして、ダウンロード部７２は、記憶媒体８０に記憶されているダウンロードされた回数を確認し、ダウンロードされた回数が所定の回数（例えば１回）に達していない場合のみに、対象国選択部７１で選択された対象国の紙幣識別データを記憶媒体８０から第一ＲＯＭ５１にダウンロードするように構成されてもよい（ダウンロード部７２の変形例３）（図５（ｃ）の符号９２ｄ参照）。 Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the main body control unit 60 may include a recording unit 75 that stores the number of times the banknote identification data is downloaded from the storage medium 80 to the first ROM 51. Then, the download unit 72 confirms the number of downloads stored in the storage medium 80, and only when the number of downloads has not reached a predetermined number (for example, once), the target country selection unit 71 You may comprise so that the banknote identification data of the selected object country may be downloaded from the storage medium 80 to the 1st ROM 51 (modification 3 of the download part 72) (refer the code | symbol 92d of FIG.5 (c)).
　この場合には、記憶媒体８０から紙幣識別データがダウンロードされる回数を制限することができる。このため、紙幣識別データが記憶媒体８０から所定の回数を超えてダウンロードされることを防止することができ、紙幣識別データが不正に流用されることを防止することができる。 In this case, the number of times the bill identification data is downloaded from the storage medium 80 can be limited. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the banknote identification data from being downloaded from the storage medium 80 more than a predetermined number of times, and it is possible to prevent the banknote identification data from being misappropriated.
データ消去部７３の変形例
　上述した実施の形態におけるデータ消去部７３は、記憶媒体８０に記憶されている複数国の紙幣識別データの全てを消去するように構成されている。 Modified Example of Data Erasing Unit 73 The data erasing unit 73 in the above-described embodiment is configured to erase all the banknote identification data of a plurality of countries stored in the storage medium 80.
　しかしながら、これに限られることはなく、例えば、データ消去部７３は、記憶媒体８０に記憶された複数国の紙幣識別データのうち、ダウンロード部７２が第一ＲＯＭ５１にダウンロードして記憶させた紙幣識別データのみを消去するように構成されていてもよい（データ消去部７３の変形例１）（図７（ａ）の符号９７ｂ参照）。 However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the data erasure unit 73 includes the banknote identification data downloaded and stored in the first ROM 51 by the download unit 72 among the banknote identification data of a plurality of countries stored in the storage medium 80. Only the data may be erased (Modification 1 of the data erasure unit 73) (see reference numeral 97b in FIG. 7A).
　この場合には、記憶媒体８０に記憶された複数国の紙幣識別データのうち、第一ＲＯＭ５１に記憶された対象国の紙幣識別データ以外は記憶媒体８０に残されることとなる。このため、既にダウンロードされた紙幣識別データが不正にコピーされることを防止することができるとともに、利用状況の変化に応じて第一ＲＯＭ５１に対象国を自由に追加することもできる。 In this case, among the banknote identification data of a plurality of countries stored in the storage medium 80, other than the banknote identification data of the target country stored in the first ROM 51 is left in the storage medium 80. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the already downloaded banknote identification data from being illegally copied, and it is also possible to freely add the target country to the first ROM 51 in accordance with changes in the usage status.
　他方、データ消去部７３は、記憶媒体８０に記憶された複数国の紙幣識別データのうち、ダウンロード部７２が第一ＲＯＭ５１にダウンロードした国以外の紙幣識別データ（ダウンロードした紙幣識別データ以外）を消去するように構成されていてもよい（データ消去部７３の変形例２）（図７（ｂ）の符号９７ｃ参照）。 On the other hand, the data erasure unit 73 erases banknote identification data (other than the downloaded banknote identification data) other than the country downloaded by the download unit 72 to the first ROM 51 among the banknote identification data of a plurality of countries stored in the storage medium 80. (Modification 2 of the data erasure unit 73) (see reference numeral 97c in FIG. 7B).
　この場合には、記憶媒体８０に記憶された複数国の紙幣識別データのうち、第一ＲＯＭ５１に記憶された対象国の紙幣識別データのみが記憶媒体８０に残されることとなる。このため、第一ＲＯＭ５１に記憶された紙幣識別データをバックアップとして使用することができるとともに、不要な紙幣識別データを削除して当該紙幣識別データが不正にコピーされることを防止することができる。 In this case, among the banknote identification data of a plurality of countries stored in the storage medium 80, only the banknote identification data of the target country stored in the first ROM 51 is left in the storage medium 80. For this reason, the banknote identification data stored in the first ROM 51 can be used as a backup, and unnecessary banknote identification data can be deleted to prevent the banknote identification data from being illegally copied.
　ところで、上述したダウンロード部７２の実施の形態と変形例１，２，３（図４および図５（ａ）－（ｃ）参照）、並びに、データ消去部７３の実施の形態と変形例１，２（図４および図７（ａ）（ｂ）参照）の各々は、適宜組み合わせることができる。 By the way, the above-described embodiment of the download unit 72 and modifications 1, 2, and 3 (see FIG. 4 and FIGS. 5A to 5C), and the data erasure unit 73 and the modifications 1, 2 (see FIG. 4 and FIGS. 7A and 7B) can be appropriately combined.
