Abstract
A bill receiving and dispensing machine of 'specific type of bill circulation-type' which can reuse, as bills for dispensation, only one specific type of bills among all types of received bills. According to the machine of the present invention, only one type of bills among all types of received bills is circulated through a circulating-bill pooling section for reuse as bills for dispensation and the dispensation bills other than the circulating bills are held in a dispensation bill container and the received bills and the dispensation bills are held in three limited sections, i.e. a circulating-bill pooling section, a received-bill container and a dispensation bill container. This makes it possible to eliminate the special bill pooling sections and the bill feeding-out mechanisms which are used in the conventional machines and therefore to simplify the mechanism and to reduce the noise during the operation thereof. Also according to the present machine, a common route, an accumulating route, a bill deliverer and a transaction port are so designed that they are always commonly used in both the bill receiving and bill-type separating mode and the bill dispensing mode. This makes it possible to effectively utilize the space within the machine body and thus to reduce the volume of the machine body.
