When the three thousand yen bills are fed, the discharge unit E discharges the bills so as to protrude from the dispensing port 14 in a bundled state (by a known mechanism).
[0026]
Since only the thousand yen bill is accommodated in the thousand yen bill storage part B, in this case, it is not necessary to identify the denomination by making the withdrawal banknote one or more rounds in the circulation transport path 4.
[0027]
(2-2) In the case of change amount of 7,000 yen In this case, only the first banknote is first fed out from the 2,000 yen / 5,000 yen bill storage part C, and is conveyed clockwise along the circular conveyance path 4. The This bill is sent to the discharge unit E in the same manner as in the case of (2-1) above after receiving the denomination identification by the identification sensor 5 while making one or more rounds of the circulation transport path 4.
[0028]
If the denomination of the first banknote is 5,000 yen, two thousand yen bills are paid out from the thousand yen bill storage part B as the remaining 2,000 yen, as in (2-1) above. It is sent to the discharge unit E without denomination identification.
[0029]
Next, when the denomination of the first banknote is 2,000 yen, only one second banknote is paid out from the 2,000 yen / 5,000 yen bill storage part C, and the denomination is identified by the circulation transport path 4. Receive. When the denomination of the second banknote is 5,000 yen, the dispensing operation is completed when the 5,000 yen bill is sent to the discharge unit E. On the other hand, if the denomination of the second bill is 2,000 yen, the 2,000 yen bill is sent to the discharge unit E and the remaining 3,000 yen is sent from the thousand yen bill storage part B to the thousand yen bill. Are fed out and sent to the discharge unit E without denomination identification.
[0030]
(3) Collecting operation For example, when the business of one day is finished and it is desired to collect all the banknotes in the storage units B, C, D or only the amount equivalent to the sales proceeds, the storage units B, C, D The fed banknotes are sequentially stored in the collected banknote storage part G1 of the banknote recovery cassette G from the circulation transport path 4 through the connection transport path 6g. In addition, even if one of the storage units B, C, D is full, when the corresponding denomination banknote is further deposited, the deposited banknote is banknote from the circulation transport path 4 through the connection transport path 6g. It is stored in the recovered banknote storage G1 of the recovery cassette G.
[0031]
(4) Rejection operation When there is a banknote that cannot be denominated by the identification sensor 5 due to contamination or the like, the banknote is discharged as a “payment reject banknote” from the circulation transport path 4 through the connection transport path 6e. Sent to unit E. In addition, when there is a banknote that cannot be denominated by the identification sensor 5 due to skew or the like, the banknote is withdrawn as a “withdrawal reject banknote” from the circulation transport path 4 through the connection transport path 6f. It is sent to the reject part F.
