wherein the first money handling apparatus memorizes a previous money cassette and automatically selects the previous money cassette in response to a next dispense request.

2 . The money handling system according to claim 1 , wherein

the second information indicates that money has been discharged from the second money outlet, and

the second processing circuitry is further configured to cause the second money receiver to operate, in a case that the second information is received.

3 . The money handling system according to claim 1 , wherein

the first processing circuitry is further configured to transmit the first information in a case that money is discharged from the first money handling apparatus.

4 . The money handling system according to claim 1 , wherein the first processing circuitry is further configured to transmit the first information in a case that a transmission request is received from the second processing circuitry.

5 . The money handling system according to claim 1 , further comprising

third processing circuitry configured to receive the first information from the first processing circuitry and transmit the first information to the second processing circuitry.

6 . The money handling system according to claim 1 , wherein

the second transport manner is a manner in which money is transported in a state of being stored in the money cassette that is configured to be capable of being attached to the second money outlet and also capable of being removed from the second money outlet, and

the second money receiver is configured such that the money cassette is capable of being attached and removed.

7 . A money handling apparatus, comprising:

a first money receiver that receives money transported in a first transport manner;

a second money receiver that receives money transported in a second transport manner and that comprises a lock mechanism that prevents a money cassette from being attached; and

second processing circuitry configured to control the first money receiver and the second money receiver and perform a deposit preparation operation for the first money receiver or the second money receiver before the money is transported from the first money handling apparatus to the second money handling apparatus, wherein

the second processing circuitry is further configured to cause the first money receiver to operate, in a case that first information indicating that money is in a state suitable for the first transport manner is received, and control the lock mechanism to allow the money cassette to be attached to the second money receiver, in a case that second information is received, the second information indicating that money is discharged in a state suitable for the second transport manner using the money cassette, and in a case that the first money receiver is to receive money, the second processing circuitry is further configured to cause the lock mechanism to operate and set a state where the money cassette is incapable of being attached to the second money receiver, wherein

the first transport manner and the second transport manner are transport manners that are different from each other, the first transport manner is the transport manner using a transport unit other than the money cassette, the second transport manner is the transport manner using the money cassette, and the money cassette is used for transporting the money from the first other money handling apparatus which is independent from the money handling apparatus to the money handling apparatus

wherein the first money handling apparatus memorizes a previous money cassette and automatically selects the previous money cassette in response to a next dispense request.

8 . A money handling method, comprising:

discharging, from a first money handling apparatus, money in a state suitable for a first transport manner or in a state suitable for a second transport manner;

transmitting first information indicating that money discharged from the first money handling apparatus is in a state suitable for the first transport manner, or second information indicating that money is discharged in a state suitable for the second transport manner using a money cassette; and

receiving money, in a case that the money is discharged from the first money handling apparatus, by performing a deposit preparation operation for a first money receiver or a second money receiver before the money is transported from the first money handling apparatus to the second money handling apparatus, by selecting a first money receiver from among a plurality of money receivers of a second money handling apparatus in a case that the second money handling apparatus receives the first information, or by selecting a second money receiver comprising a lock mechanism that prevents the money cassette from being attached and controlling the lock mechanism in a case that the second information is received, and causing the lock mechanism to operate and set a state where the money cassette is incapable of being attached to the second money receiver in a case that the first money receiver is to receive money;

wherein the first transport manner and the second transport manner are transport manners that are different from each other, the first transport manner is the transport manner using a transport unit other than the money cassette, the second transport manner is the transport manner using the money cassette, and the money cassette is used for transporting the money from the first money handling apparatus to the second money handling apparatus which is independent from the first money handling apparatus

wherein the first money handling apparatus memorizes a previous money cassette and automatically selects the previous money cassette in response to a next dispense request.

9 . The money handling method of claim 8 , further comprising:

causing another money receiver of the plurality of money receivers to operate in a case that the first information is not received.

10 . The money handling method of claim 9 , wherein

the second transport manner is a manner in which money is transported in a state of being stored in the money cassette that is configured to be capable of being attached to the first money handling apparatus and also capable of being removed from the first money handling apparatus, and

the another money receiver is configured such that the money cassette is capable of being attached and removed.

11 . The money handling method of claim 10 , wherein the another money receiver comprises a lock mechanism that prevents the money cassette from being attached, and

the method further comprises

in a case that the selected money receiver is to receive money, causing the lock mechanism to operate and set a state where the money cassette is incapable of being attached to the another money receiver.

12 . The money handling system according to claim 1 , wherein

the first money handling apparatus does not generate the first information in a case that the money is discharged in a state suitable for the second transport manner.
