Abstract: A storage stores money. An outlet can receive money delivered from the storage therein. The outlet is configured to allow the money to be removed from the inside of the outlet. A detector detects a removal action associated with removal of money from the outlet. The controller switches a process on money remaining in the outlet based on a detection result of the detector.

Abstract: A frequency converter suitable for a multi-channel broadcast signals receiver is provided. The frequency converter includes a pre-amplifier with an AGC control terminal, first and second local oscillators, a first mixer for converting a first-RF frequency of the broadcast signal to a second-RF frequency using a first oscillation signal output from the first local oscillator, a second-RF signal amplifier with an AGC control terminal for amplifying the second-RF signal, a second mixer for converting the second-RF frequency of the second-RF signal output from the second-RF signal amplifier to a third-RF frequency using a second local oscillation signal output from the second local oscillator, and an AGC circuit for feeding back to the pre-amplifier and the second-RF signal amplifier the AGC signal which is obtained from the third-RF frequency signal as a conversion output from the second mixer for simultaneously controlling the gains of both the preamplifier and the second-RF signal amplifier.
