Abstract
In a bill handling apparatus, a vibration detection sensorA toH detects a vibration of a field repair unitto, and a determining unitdetermines whether there is a failure in the field repair unittobased on the vibration detected by the vibration detection sensorA toH. For example, the determining unitsubjects the vibration detected by the vibration detection sensorA toH to frequency analysis, and determines that a failure has occurred in the field repair unittowhen a frequency of a frequency component having a maximum amplitude level in an analysis result of the frequency analysis is lower than a reference value.
