An RFID tag information communicating apparatus includes a feeding roller driving shaft that is provided within a housing constituting a shell of an apparatus main body and feeds a base tape, and an antenna for label production and an antenna for information transmission and reception, which are capable of transmitting and receiving information with an RFID circuit element for label production included in a base tape and an RFID circuit element for information transmission and reception located outside the housing. Each of the RFID circuit elements has an IC circuit part that stores information and an antenna that transmits and receives information. The apparatus is configured capable of performing both of the information reading and information writing with the RFID circuit element for label production and the RFID circuit element for information transmission and reception via the antennas.

An automated handling machine for bills and securities which automatically processes bills and securities such as checks in the same apparatus. Sheets set in a bill depositing/dispensing mechanism are conveyed at a bill reading speed vin a first processing mode, and when they are passed through a discriminator for bills and checks, each sheet is discriminated whether it is a bill or check. If the sheet is a bill, it is subjected to authentication discrimination, denomination discrimination and validity discrimination, and temporarily stored in a temporary stocker. If the sheet is a check, it is temporarily returned to a deposit/withdrawal port and temporarily stored there. Then in a second processing mode, the temporarily stored check is conveyed to the discriminator at a check reading speed v(v&#x3c;v). MICR characters described on the check are read with high accuracy with a magnetic sensor of the discriminator, and contents of description on the check are obtained as image data by an image sensor, and recognition is performed on the data.
