An accounting device according to an embodiment includes an input device that receives an instruction to start a job. A first display device includes a first screen facing a first direction towards a person who operates the input device. A change machine includes a depositing port for receiving money and a dispensing port for dispensing money. A second display device includes a second screen facing a second direction different from the first direction and towards a person who deposits money into the depositing port or receives money from the dispensing port. When the instruction received by the input device is to start a predetermined job that is different from the accounting transaction and that includes depositing money into the change machine or dispensing money from the change machine, the processor causes information supporting execution of the predetermined job to be displayed on the second screen.

A cash processing apparatus comprises a housing provided with a depositing and dispensing section; a display section; a coin insertion section at a position at one side of a central part in a width direction of the housing and into which the coin is inserted; a coin placing section in the housing and having a coin placing surface for temporarily placing the coin, connecting to the coin insertion section side by side and extend to an opposite side across the central part in the width direction of the housing from the coin insertion section to form a shape elongated in the width direction; and a settlement module, wherein both a distance between the coin insertion section and one side end of the housing which is closest to the coin insertion section and a distance between the coin placing section and the other side end of the housing which is closest to the coin placing section are smaller than a depth distance of the coin placing section.

Disclosed are a banknote stacking and separation apparatus and a cash recycling and handling device. The banknote stacking and separation apparatus includes a frame provided with a banknote accommodating space. A pickuping roller, a feeding roller and a gate roller are provided in an upper part of the banknote accommodating space, and the feeding roller and the gate roller are oppositely arranged. The banknote stacking and separation apparatus further includes a guiding plate and a guiding plate driving mechanism. The guiding plate is located in the banknote accommodating space and pivoted with the frame, and the guiding plate driving mechanism drives the guiding plate to rotate from a guiding position to a lifting position. The guiding plate shields the pickuping roller when the guiding plate is at the guiding position, and the guiding plate exposes the pickuping roller when the guiding plate is at the lifting position.
