Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate the delay of account settling operation by not returning a rejected received paper money, but storing it in a machine body. SOLUTION: This receiving and paying machine takes in received paper moneys, thrown in a reception opening, one by one, a received money discrimination part 22 discriminates the denomination of the money, and a paper money which is necessary for payment is stored in a circulation stackers 33 and 34 which can pay out it, but a paper money which is not necessary for payment is stored in a storage stacker 32 which can not pay out it. Under a command from a POS register 4, etc., paper moneys are paid out of the circulation stackers 33 and 34 and thrown out to the money payment opening of the machine body. This machine is equipped with a rejected paper money storage part 31 which stores a rejected paper money whose denomination can not be discriminated by the received money discrimination part 22 and a control part 60 which performs control so as to stores the received paper money in the said circulation stackers 33 and 34 when the paper moneys are necessary for payment, in the rejected paper money storage part 31 when the paper money is not necessary for the payment, and in the rejected paper money storage part 31 when its denomination can not be discriminated according to the discrimination result of the received paper money.

ものである。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to allow a quick settlement process by allowing a rejected bill to be taken into the machine body without returning it.
At least one denomination is identified by the deposit identification unit by depositing the deposited banknotes inserted into the deposit port of the machine, and the banknotes necessary for withdrawal are stored in a recyclable stacker that can be withdrawn, and required for withdrawal. A banknote depositing / dispensing machine that stores undispensed banknotes in a storage stacker that cannot be dispensed, and dispenses banknotes from the recirculation stacker based on a command from a POS register or the like and dispenses the banknotes to a dispensing port of the machine. By the reject banknote storage unit that stores the rejected banknotes that could not be identified by the denomination, when the identification result of the deposited banknotes is a banknote required for withdrawal, the recycle stacker stores the banknotes that are not required for withdrawal. If the banknote is a banknote whose denomination cannot be discriminated, the control section for controlling the banknote to store the banknote in the reject banknote storage section is provided.
