When “5. Returning false bills and returning genuine bills” is stored in the ATM-side storage unit 108 as a processing instruction at the time of detecting the false bills, “return” is selected as the processing of the false bills (see FIG. 8 step S501: return), the banknote handling part 110 conveys a fake ticket to the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 11 (step S504 in FIG. 8). Further, when there is a genuine note (including a rejected ticket) in the inserted bill (step S505 in FIG. 8: Yes), “return” is selected as the processing of the genuine note (step S506 in FIG. 8). : Return), the banknote handling unit 110 conveys the genuine note to the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 11 and opens the shutter of the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 11 (step S509 in FIG. 8) . The CPU of the ATM-side control unit 100 prompts the touch panel 12 of the operation unit 102 to receive information on “contains banknotes that cannot be handled” and “reception of returned banknotes” as shown in FIG. Display information. Thereafter, the CPU of the ATM-side control unit 100 continues the ATM 10 transaction. As described above, in this embodiment, if the “holding” of the counterfeit note is not stored in the ATM side storage unit 108 as the processing instruction, the CPU of the ATM side control unit 100 does the transaction of the ATM 10 even after detecting the counterfeit note. To continue.

A5. Acquisition processing of banknotes held:
As described above, when the processing instruction “1. Fake ticket hold and genuine ticket hold” or “2. After the processing at the time of detecting a fake ticket, the transaction at ATM 10 is stopped. The ATM 10 is stopped by an alarm sound provided in the ATM 10 or a host computer that has acquired information indicating that a counterfeit ticket has been detected from the ATM side control unit 100 via the ATM side communication unit 109 and the host computer side communication unit 209. The clerk or the like is notified by the side control unit 200. The clerk who has received the notification performs a process for acquiring the banknote to resume the transaction at the ATM 10.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining the reserved banknote acquisition process. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating information displayed on the touch panel 12 of the operation unit 102 in accordance with an instruction from the CPU of the ATM-side control unit 100 in the reserved banknote acquisition process. Hereinafter, the banknote acquisition process will be described using the flowchart of FIG. 12 while showing information displayed on the touch panel 12 of FIG.

  As described above, when “1. counterfeit note hold and true note hold” is stored as the counterfeit note detection processing instruction, all the inserted bills are held in the temporary hold box 113 of the ATM 10. . When “2. Hold false ticket and return genuine ticket” is stored, since the genuine ticket (including rejected ticket) has been returned (step S509 in FIG. 8), only the false ticket is stored in the temporary holding box 113 of the ATM 10. Is on hold. An attendant or the like instructs the ATM 10 to return the banknotes in order to acquire the banknotes in the temporary storage 113 (step S710 in FIG. 12). Specifically, when the ATM 10 is waiting for execution of a fake ticket acquisition process by an attendant or the like, information as shown in FIG. 13A is displayed on the touch panel 12 of the ATM 10. An attendant or the like presses the reserved banknote return button shown in FIG. 13A and instructs the ATM 10 to return the reserved banknote. Note that the information shown in FIG. 13A can be displayed when a specific person such as an attendant who can handle the ATM 10 inputs a personal identification number through the touch panel.

  When the return of the banknote is instructed (step S710 in FIG. 12), the CPU of the ATM-side control unit 100 causes the banknote handling unit 110 to transport the banknote in the temporary storage 113 to the determination unit 112, and causes the determination unit 112 to Whether the bill is true or false is discriminated (step S720 in FIG. 12).

When the banknote in the temporary storage 113 is determined to be a fake ticket (step S730 in FIG. 12: Yes), the banknote handling unit 110 conveys the fake ticket to the fake ticket collection box 115 (step S740 in FIG. 12). If it is determined that the bill is not a fake note (step S730 in FIG. 12: No), the bill handling unit 110 conveys the bill that is determined not to be a fake bill to the bill deposit / withdrawal port 11 (step S750 in FIG. 12). Then, information as shown in FIG . 13B is displayed on the touch panel 12 of the ATM 10 . When “2. Hold counterfeit and return genuine bill” is selected as the processing instruction, only the counterfeit bill is held in the temporary storage 113, so that the banknote in the temporary storage 113 is false. It is discriminated as a ticket (step S730 in FIG. 12: Yes), and no bill is conveyed to the bill deposit / withdrawal port 11.

  If it is ATM10 as the paper sheet handling apparatus as described above, the processing instruction at the time of counterfeit card detection is stored in the ATM side storage unit 108 of ATM10, and the processing instruction is read out at the time of detection of counterfeit card, The processing at the time of detecting a fake ticket can be executed. By storing a processing instruction that does not include “pending” for a counterfeit ticket as a counterfeit ticket detection processing instruction, the counterfeit ticket inserted into the ATM 10 is collected in the counterfeit bill collection box 115 or returned from the banknote deposit / withdrawal port Is done. In ATM 10, transactions such as deposits and withdrawals are continued. Therefore, for example, even when the ATM 10 is installed at a place where an attendant or the like cannot respond immediately, the user can make deposits and withdrawals.

  When the counterfeit ticket detection processing instruction includes “collection” of the counterfeit ticket, the counterfeit ticket collection box 115 collects the counterfeit ticket every time a counterfeit ticket is detected in each transaction. In many cases, the fake ticket collection box 115 does not have a structure that is suitable for depositing and withdrawing a large number of banknotes in order, like the recycle box 118. This is because such a structure increases the manufacturing cost of the ATM 10. Therefore, for example, if the inserted counterfeit ticket is folded or bent, the counterfeit ticket in the counterfeit ticket collection box 115 may not be stacked in the input order. In such a case, there is a possibility that the counterfeit ticket cannot be associated with the user who inserted the counterfeit ticket. However, if a processing instruction including “holding” a fake ticket is stored as a processing instruction at the time of fake ticket detection, when a fake ticket is inserted into the ATM 10, the transaction of the ATM 10 is temporarily stopped. Therefore, only the banknotes inserted immediately before the transaction is stopped are held in the temporary storage 113. Therefore, it is possible to clarify the correspondence between the user who has inserted the counterfeit note and the banknote including the counterfeit note held in the temporary storage 113.

  In the reserved banknote acquisition process, banknotes held in the temporary storage box 113 are determined, and only the counterfeit bills are collected in the counterfeit ticket collection box 115. Therefore, since the clerk or the like does not need to determine whether the collected banknote is a fake or genuine bill, it is suppressed that the clerk or the like mistakes the counterfeit bill and the genuine note. Furthermore, since the fake ticket collection box 115 of this embodiment is provided with a key as an opening / closing means, only a specific person can obtain a fake ticket from the fake ticket collection box 115. Therefore, since the person who can handle the counterfeit ticket is limited, the risk that the counterfeit ticket is leaked to the market when the unspecified person handles the counterfeit ticket can be reduced.

  Further, in the ATM 10 of the present embodiment, the banknote inserted from the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 11 is once conveyed to the determination unit 112. For this reason, for example, after a banknote (true note) withdrawn is replaced with a counterfeit note, a counterfeit note is detected even if a fraudulent attempt is made to intentionally forget it and cause the ATM 10 to collect the counterfeit note. The Rukoto. Therefore, it is possible to detect unauthorized transactions.
