型化しコスト高になるという問題があった。The reason is that the banknotes can be transferred from one banknote stacking section to the other stacking section with almost no restriction, and in any banknote transfer operation, the banknotes are conveyed through the discrimination section in order to count the banknotes. In addition, if there is any abnormality or stain on the banknotes that are discriminated as normal in the discrimination result, it is necessary to separate these abnormal or stainable banknotes from normal banknotes. If the device configuration is made in consideration of the fact that each of these banknotes must be transported to different transport destinations corresponding to each, and that it is easy to use in operation, etc. As a result, the transport route must be different for each transaction type and operation type, as described above, which complicates the transport route configuration, which in turn increases the size and cost of the device.
