An automatic cash transaction apparatus which dispenses a predetermined maximum amount of cash in each dipensing operation. When it is desired to dispense more than the maximum amount of cash, it carries out multiple dispensing operations. Means are provided for indicating to a user that further cash dispensing operations are to be carried out. This indication occurs no later than during the first such dispensing operation. This indication is provided by a so called 'preinforming means' that, in a preferred embodiment, generates a synthetic sound to inform the execution of a next cash dispensing operation when a current cash dispensing operation is completed if the successive cash dispensing operations are carried out.

A banknote account and arrangement apparatus includes a supply portion for supplying a group of banknotes in the apparatus one after another, a discrimination circuit for discriminating denomination, face, fitness, authenticity, and the like of the supplied banknotes, temporary stackers in which the banknote is stacked in an account mode, closed cassettes coupled to the temporary stackers, open pockets in which the banknote is stacked in an arrangement mode, a RAM for collecting data of the banknote stacked in the temporary stackers, a CPU for verifying the collected data of the banknote stacked in the temporary stackers with known data of the bundle of the banknotes, pushers and shutters for, only when a verification result is correct, stacking the banknote stacked in the temporary stackers in the closed cassettes, and a display portion for displaying the collected data. When an interruption command is input in the account mode, data collection is temporarily interrupted, and an operation in the arrangement mode is performed using the open pockets while storing the collected data.

A banknote account and arrangement apparatus includes a supply portion for supplying a bundle of banknotes in the apparatus one after another, a discrimination circuit for discriminating denomination, face, fitness, authenticity, and the like of the supplied banknotes, temporary stackers in which the banknote is stacked in an account mode, closed cassettes coupled to the temporary stackers, open pockets in which the banknote is stacked in an arrangement mode, a RAM for collecting data of the banknote stacked in the temporary stackers, a CPU for verifying the collected data of the banknote stacked in the temporary stackers with known data of the bundle of the banknotes, pushers and shutters for, only when a verification result is correct, stacking the banknote stacked in the temporary stackers in the closed cassettes, and a display portion for displaying the collected data. Sensors detect if the temporary stackers are full. When the sensors detect that the temporary stackers are full in the account mode, a stacking destination of the paper money is changed to the open pockets while continuously collecting the data. After the temporary stackers are replaced with empty ones, the banknote stacked in the open pockets are stacked in the temporary stackers without collecting the data.

A bill handling system provided with a bill bundler unit for sorting bills according to denominations, counting the sorted bills for each denomination and bundling bills of a predetermined number and a predetermined denomination, the number of bills remaining unbundled being counted and stored when bill sorting and counting operations have been completed, so as to continually implement the succeeding bill bundling operation on the basis of the stored number of bills remaining unbundled. The number of remaining bills is displayed or printed for calling an operator's attention to the number of remaining files.

Bundler including bill handling system which keeps track of unbundled

There is provided a paper sheet sorting apparatus which has a bill supply port at which a plurality of bills having various denominations are set, a discrimination unit for discriminating the denomination of the bills supplied one by one from the supply port, and a stacking control unit for stacking the bills specified by the specification unit in predetermined stacking units in correspondence with a discrimination result. The denomination of the bills which are stacked in the respective stacking units is not previously determined, and an operator can easily change/set the bills by various specification keys.
