Abstract: A banknote handling system includes a controller that performs a matching process of matching of a second code of a banknote to be subjected to matching read by a recognition circuit with a first code stored in a memory, and the controller determines that the first code matches with the second code if all symbols of specific digits of the first code match with those of the second code and if the number of digits for which symbols mismatch other than the specific digits is a predetermined number or less, and determines that the first code mismatches with the second code if symbols of the specific digits of the first code mismatch with those of the second code or if the number of digits for which symbols mismatch other than the specific digits exceed the predetermined number.

Abstract: A money processing device is provided with a mode setting unit for setting a processing mode relating to a form of a process to be executed so that the mode can be switched between a mode for performing temporal retention and a mode for not performing the temporal retention, in response to a user's command, and is constituted so that, at the time of a process for depositing money or a process for withdrawing money, if the processing mode is set to the escrow mode, the deposit money or the withdrawal money is temporarily suspended, whereas if the processing mode is set to the non-escrow mode, the deposit money or the withdrawal money cannot be temporarily retained. Thereby, at the time of the process for depositing money or the process for withdrawing money, whether or not the operation for temporarily retaining money is performed can be changed by a user.

Abstract: A banknote handling apparatus is operable in a code management mode in which banknotes stored in a storage unit are managed based on codes of the banknotes read by a recognition unit, and in a count management mode in which the banknotes stored in the storage unit are managed by counting the number of the banknotes to be stored in the storage unit. The banknote handling apparatus is switchable between the code management mode and the count management mode.

Abstract: A banknote handling apparatus stores a code list in which codes of banknotes stored in a storage unit are arranged in order in which the banknotes are stored. The banknote handling apparatus reads the codes when the banknotes are sequentially fed from the storage unit, and checks a target group of the codes of N successive banknotes including the last fed banknote (N is a natural number not less than 2) against the code list. When the target group and a reference group of the codes of N successive banknotes in the code list match each other, the banknotes remaining in the storage unit after the feeding of the banknotes are identified by regarding one of the codes of the reference group in the code list as a boundary.

Abstract: A money handling machine including a denomination-specific storing portion, money transport unit that transports money to a dispending portion and transport starting unit that causes the money transport unit to transport money stored in the denomination-specific storing portion. The money handling machine is instructed to dispense an amount of money, performs dispensing processing to bring the amount of money from the denomination-specific storing portion to the dispensing portion and performs dispensing limitation processing to prevent money determined not to be allowed to be dispensed from being dispensed. The dispensing processing includes starting the transport of the amount of money, and transporting money from the denomination-specific storing portion to the dispensing portion to replenish a shortage of money produced by the dispensing limitation processing.

Abstract: The present invention provides a money depositing and dispensing machine 11 which suppresses reduction in money stored in denomination-specific storing and ejecting units 53 to be dispensed and prevents suspension of transactions due to a shortage of money to be dispensed even when unfit money is recognized in a dispensing process. In a dispensing process, normal money is transported to an outlet 16, and money recognized as unfit money is judged whether it is allowed to be dispensed to the outlet 16 based on the kind of unfit money. Stained money of unfit money is allowed to be dispensed to the outlet 16, and unfit money other than stained money is disallowed to be dispensed to the outlet 16. Stained money is not rejected but is handled as money to be dispensed, and accordingly, reduction in money stored in the denomination-specific storing and ejecting units 53 to be dispensed is suppressed, and suspension of transactions due to a shortage of money to be dispensed is prevented.
