    Abstract: A transaction performing system comprising a cash handling device of the circulation type having cash containers for accommodating received cash as classified according to the kind of money and delivering cash from the containers for dispensing, and sensors for detecting the condition of cash in each container. According to the condition of cash detected, the state of transaction is controlled. The control of the state of transaction includes change of the mode of transaction, limitation of receiving cash and limitation of delivery of cash.
