Abstract: A bill receiving and dispensing machine in which a bill containing mechanism is mounted on the back of a front door of the machine body for improving handling of bills contained within the machine body. The bill receiving and dispensing machine enables easy exposure of the bill containing components merely by opening a front door for carrying out inspection, additional charging of bills, and maintenance of the main components of the machine. According to the bill receiving and dispensing machine of the present invention, the received bills are transferred to the discriminating route and a part of the bills discriminated as "genuine" are held in the circulating-bill pooling section as bills for dispensation and the other genuine bills are transferred above the received-bill box mounted on the front door and then directly dropped into the box through the top opening thereof.

Abstract: A bill receiving and dispensing machine of "specific type of bill circulation-type" which can reuse, as bills for dispensation, only one specific type of bills among all types of received bills. According to the machine of the present invention, only one type of bills among all types of received bills is circulated through a circulating-bill pooling section for reuse as bills for dispensation and the dispensation bills other than the circulating bills are held in a dispensation bill container and the received bills and the dispensation bills are held in three limited sections, i.e. a circulating-bill pooling section, a received-bill container and a dispensation bill container. This makes it possible to eliminate the special bill pooling sections and the bill feeding-out mechanisms which are used in the conventional machines and therefore to simplify the mechanism and to reduce the noise during the operation thereof.
