Abstract
A bill receiving and dispensing machine in which a bill containing mechanism is mounted on the back of a front door of the machine body for improving handling of bills contained within the machine body. The bill receiving and dispensing machine enables easy exposure of the bill containing components merely by opening a front door for carrying out inspection, additional charging of bills, and maintenance of the main components of the machine. According to the bill receiving and dispensing machine of the present invention, the received bills are transferred to the discriminating route and a part of the bills discriminated as 'genuine' are held in the circulating-bill pooling section as bills for dispensation and the other genuine bills are transferred above the received-bill box mounted on the front door and then directly dropped into the box through the top opening thereof. Since the bill containing apparatus or the received-bill box can be opened simultaneously with the opening of the front door, the front inside of the machine body behind the bill containing apparatus is exposed merely by opening the front door. This makes it easy to inspect the circulating-bill pooling section and to charge additional bills.
