Abstract: A paper sheet bundling apparatus includes: a reel unit, in which a tape roll is set, configured to rotate the tape roll in a direction in which the tape is fed, and a direction in which the tape is wound; a tape transport unit, having a transport path provided between the reel unit and a tape bundling unit, configured to transport the tape, along the transport path, to supply the tape to the tape bundling unit when the tape bundling unit performs bundling, and to cause, when the tape bundling unit does not perform bundling, the tape to be in a stand-by state in which the tape is arranged continuously along the transport path; and specific operation execution means for executing, at a predetermined time, a specific operation of reducing tensile force in the tape arranged continuously along the transport path, when the tape bundling unit does not perform bundling.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a paper sheet processing device 100 including: a hopper unit 2 configured to take in paper sheets; a recognition unit 3 configured to read serial numbers of the paper sheets taken in through the hopper unit 2; a database 1202 configured to store the serial numbers read by the recognition unit 3; and a control unit 120 configured to process the paper sheets. The control unit 120 searches the serial numbers stored in the database 1202 for any duplicated serial number, and detects, when finding any duplicated serial number, that duplicate processes have been performed on a paper sheet identified by the duplicated serial number.

Abstract: A banknote handling apparatus includes: a first winding storage unit; a second storage unit; a transport unit; a recognition unit; and a control unit. The first storage unit stores the banknotes, while providing a mark associated with inventory amount information of the first storage unit. To perform a reconciliation process for the first storage unit, the control unit allows some of the banknotes stored in the first storage unit to be fed from the first storage unit, based on the mark, for recognition by the recognition unit, and determines an inventory amount of the first storage unit based on a result of the recognition and the inventory amount information associated with the mark.

Abstract: A money handling apparatus (10, 60) includes a collecting and storing unit (20, 71, 72) provided in a housing (10a, 60a), the collecting and storing unit (20, 71, 72) being configured to store money transported by a transport unit (15, 65). A memory unit (37, 87) is configured to store an amount-of-money data which is a money amount of money stored in the collecting and storing unit (20, 71, 72), and a limit sum which is a money amount of money that can be stored in the collecting and storing unit (20, 71, 72). Based on the amount-of-money data and the limit sum respectively stored in the memory unit (37, 87), the control unit (30, 80) performs a control such that the amount-of-money data does not exceed the limit sum, when there is performed a money collecting process in which money in the collecting and storing unit (20, 71, 72) is taken out from the housing (10a, 60a) of the money handling apparatus (10, 60).

Abstract: A money handling apparatus includes: a storage unit; a recognition unit; a dispensing unit; and a control unit configured to allow dispensing of money which is fed from the storage unit and is recognized in a dispensing process. The control unit allows dispensing of at least the money rejected in the dispensing process to the dispensing unit, and then goes into standby for a counting process to count the money dispensed to the dispensing unit.
