Abstract: An electronic money terminal is provided to confirm whether a currency terminal has executed money amount change processing when there is no response after transmission of money amount change information to the currency terminal. The electronic money terminal reads and stores a value balance before transmission of money amount change information from an electronic money card. Then, the electronic money terminal transmits the money amount change information to the electronic money card. The electronic money terminal waits for a response from the electronic money card for a predetermined time and, if no response is transmitted, the electronic money terminal forcibly reads a current value balance in the electronic money card.
