Money handling apparatus and money handling method
A money handling apparatus (for example, a money depositing and dispensing machine ( 100 )) includes a reading unit ( 129 ) that reads change machine information that is information stored in a recording medium ( 304 ) about a money change machine ( 200 ) provided separately from the money handling apparatus; a dispensing unit that dispenses money; and a controlling unit ( 102 ) that controls the dispensing unit to cause the dispensing unit to dispense money that is to be replenished in the money change machine ( 200 ) based on the change machine information read by the reading unit ( 129 ).
1. A money handling apparatus that performs at least a money dispensing processing, comprising:
a reading unit that reads change machine information that is information stored in a recording medium about a money change machine provided separately from the money handling apparatus;
a dispensing unit that dispenses money; and
a controlling unit that controls the dispensing unit to cause the dispensing unit to dispense money that is to be replenished in the money change machine based on the change machine information read by the reading unit,
wherein the change machine information is an inventory amount of the money change machine including an inventory amount of a roll of coins.
2. The money handling apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a memory that stores therein a remaining setting number for each denomination of money in the money change machine, wherein
number of money for each denomination that is to be dispensed by the dispensing unit is calculated by subtracting number of money for each denomination concerning the inventory amount of the money change machine read by the reading unit from the remaining setting number for each denomination of money stored in the memory.
3. The money handling apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a money dispensing outlet for ejecting money from inside to outside of the housing, wherein
the dispensing unit dispenses money to the outside of the housing through the money dispensing outlet.
4. The money handling apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
a storing cassette that stores therein money and that feeds out money stored therein is detachably attached to the money handling apparatus,
the recording medium is arranged in the storing cassette, and
the reading unit reads the information stored in the recording medium arranged on the storing cassette when the storing cassette is attached to the money handling apparatus.
5. The money handling apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the dispensing unit dispenses money into the storing cassette that has been attached to the money handling apparatus.
6. A money handling apparatus that performs at least a money dispensing processing, comprising:
a reading unit that reads change machine information that is information stored in a recording medium about a money change machine provided separately from the money handling apparatus;
a dispensing unit that dispenses money;
a controlling unit that controls the dispensing unit to cause the dispensing unit to dispense money that is to be replenished in the money change machine based on the change machine information read by the reading unit;
a coin-roll storing assembly that stores therein a roll of coins; and
a locking mechanism that locks the coin-roll storing assembly inside a housing, wherein
the controlling unit controls the locking mechanism to release the lock of the coin-roll storing assembly if a roll of coins is included in the money that is to be dispensed by the dispensing unit.
7. A money handling apparatus that performs at least a money dispensing processing, comprising
a reading unit that reads change machine information that is information stored in a recording medium about a money change machine provided separately from the money handling apparatus;
a dispensing unit that dispenses money;
a controlling unit that controls the dispensing unit to cause the dispensing unit to dispense money that is to be replenished in the money change machine based on the change machine information read by the reading unit; and
a writing unit that writes information in the recording medium, wherein
the controlling unit controls the writing unit to cause the writing unit to write in the recording medium information concerning number of money for each denomination that could not be dispensed by the dispensing unit when an abnormality occurs while the dispensing unit is dispensing money.
