  • Publication number: 20090171498
    Abstract: The change replenishment management system includes a coin roll storage (1), a coin change dispenser (3), and a POS register (5). A control unit (16) of the storage (1) detects the presence and the denomination of a coin roll in a storage section of each drawer (11, 12, 13) in accordance with an output signal generated from a detection system (18), and transmits the result of detection to the coin change dispenser (3). When loose coins obtained by unpacking removed coin rolls, which are removed from the storage (1), are introduced into an inlet (30), a control unit (36 or 50) of the change dispenser (3) or register (5) compares the denomination and the number of the loose coins, which are detected by identification unit (31), with the denomination and the number of the removed coin roll determined on the basis of the detection result transmitted from the storage (1), and judging the correspondence therebetween.

  • Publication number: 20090107800
    Abstract: The counterfeit money discrimination support device is configured to eject only the banknotes of the same denomination as a predetermined denomination of money, as specific banknotes, among banknotes taken into the device from the exterior. The denomination and quantity of the specific banknotes ejected to the exterior are stored in a memory 23. Thereafter, the specific banknotes discriminated as being not counterfeit banknotes, by hand, are then taken again into the device. When the denomination and quantity of the specific banknotes taken again into the device respectively correspond to the denomination and quantity stored in the memory 23, the discriminating operation for the counterfeit banknotes is judged to have been properly completed.

  • Publication number: 20070136734
    Abstract: The invention provides an electronic apparatus that discharges static electricity built up on a decorative panel to a ground portion with reliability without degrading the appearance design. A bent portion of a connecting member is interposed between a decorative panel and a nameplate, and the nameplate is fixed to the decorative panel. Thereby, the bent portion is pinched between the decorative panel and the nameplate, being in elastic contact with a conductive coating layer of the decorative panel, and a curved portion extending from the bent portion makes elastic contact with a front plate as a ground portion, thus discharging static electricity built up on the conductive coating layer to the front plate through the connecting member.
