Abstract
An automatic bank note transaction apparatus comprises a bank note receiving section disposed opposite to a cash inlet/outlet slot inside a housing to receive bank notes collectively put in the housing through the cash inlet/outlet slot. A conveyance path successively introduces and conveys the bank notes received in the bank note receiving section one by one to a discriminator which detects the denomination of the bank notes introduced and conveyed by the conveyance path. Distributing gates sort the bank notes by denomination according to the result of the discrimination by the discriminator into temporary collecting sections. The notes may then be transferred to safe sections provided for the several denominations. Apparatus is provided for retrieving notes from the safe sections for withdrawal by a user. Thus, the deposited notes which are transferred to the safe sections are added to notes which may be used for withdrawal.
