Abstract
A banknote deposit transaction apparatus () confirms number of deposited banknotes on a per transaction basis. The apparatus includes a bundling-object-banknote stacking unit () that sorts and stacks bundling-object-banknotes among transported banknotes; a bundling-object-banknote counting unit (A) that counts number of bundling-object-banknotes stacked in the bundling-object-banknote stacking unit () as number of unconfirmed deposited banknotes; a banknote bundling unit () that, when the number of stacked bundling-object-banknotes reaches a predetermined number, bundles the bundling-object-banknotes; a tentative confirming unit () that performs a tentative confirmation of the number of unconfirmed deposited banknotes in a current transaction among bundled banknotes at a timing of bundling; and a confirming unit that, upon detecting an operation for ending a transaction, confirms the number of tentatively confirmed and unconfirmed banknotes as a total number of banknotes deposited in the current transaction, and performs recording and management of number of banknotes stacked in the bundling-object-banknote stacking unit () as number of loose banknotes of a previous transaction. This reduces the opportunities of unbundling the bundled banknotes in an operation for fault recovery thereby greatly reducing a work burden of an operator.
