するものではない。Further, in this embodiment, an example has been described in which coins are collected by denomination, but if the coins are stored by transaction in the main body of the coin processing machine, the coins can be sorted and collected in the cassette device by transaction. In addition, due to the amount of traded coins, for example, the amount of 1 yen coins and 5 yen coins collected is very small, and there are cases where it is desired to separate 1 yen coins and 5 yen coins together. All denomination coins can be considered as one type. In addition, coins of a given denomination may be classified into genuine coins and defaced coins, although they are true denomination coins. In this way, the term "by type" as used in the present invention does not simply mean by denomination.

た効果を有する。According to the first invention, the coins taken into the coin processing machine can be collected and stored in the coin force cellar 1 to the device according to the type such as denomination or transaction, and each coin is stored in the collected coin storage space. The storage space for denominations is partitioned by movable partition members and changes depending on the amount of stored coins, so compared to conventional coins of multiple denominations that are collected all at once in a mixed state, the payment area etc. It eliminates the need to sort denominations after the denomination has been brought back to the facility, improving work efficiency, and also makes transportation easier due to the large number of cassettes compared to the conventional method of preparing collection cassettes for each denomination. This solution solves the problem of increasing the size of the coin processing machine due to the large volume occupied by all cassettes, making it easier to transport, and contributing to the miniaturization of the cassette device and coin processing machine. .
