Abstract: The cash handling machine with a cash containing device housed within a safe and a receipt printer mounted on the safe comprises a cash carrying device for carrying cash from the cash containing device to an operation panel cash outlet and a receipt carrying device for carrying a printed receipt to an operation panel receipt outlet. Since the receipt carrying device is pivotally supported by the receipt printer at one end thereof and disposed obliquely between the receipt printer and the receipt outlet, it is possible to bring the receipt outlet into close proximity to the cash outlet in the operation panel even where the safe wall is sufficiently thick for crime prevention. Therefore, the user can readily take both the discharged cash and receipt simultaneously. Further, the receipt carrying device can be moved backward for easy access thereto in case of receipt jamming trouble.
