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 sheet medium flattening device includes a mounting frame configured to mount and support following components; an annular passage, including an annular inner passage plate and an annular outer passage plate, a heating module arranged in a hollow inner cavity of the inner passage plate to supply heat for the inner passage plate; at least one pinch roller arranged at an outer side of the annular guiding plate and realizing clamping with the inner passage plate through a hole slot arranged in the annular guiding plate; a reversing mechanism configured to selectively convey banknotes between the conveying passage and the annular passage of the flattening device; a driving device configured to drive the inner passage plate to rotate; and a control system configured to control a temperature of the heating module and control a selectively switchover of the reversing mechanism.

A first money handling apparatus (for example, money change machine) has a first writing unit that writes information on an inventory amount of money in the first money handling apparatus, in a storage medium disposed at a storage cassette. A second money handling apparatus (for example, money depositing/dispensing machine) has a second reading unit (for example, reading unit) that reads information from the storage medium disposed at the storage cassette, and an inventory amount management unit that manages an inventory amount of money in the first money handling apparatus based on the information read by the second reading unit.

A feed module for feeding value documents, in particular bank notes, to a value-document processing apparatus, has a receiving device in which one or more value documents to be processed can be inserted. The receiving device includes a first aligning element which the value documents lying in the receiving device are aligned to with a first edge of the value documents when the receiving device is in a first state, and a second aligning element which the value documents lying in the receiving device are aligned to with a second edge of the value documents when the receiving device is in a second state. A positioning device through which the receiving device is brought from the first state to the second state.

An apparatus for detecting a banknote location is provided, which includes a first, second and third photoelectric sensors installed respectively at the entrance, exit and inside of a banknote passage. The first photoelectric sensor includes a light-emitting end, a light-receiving end, a first reflecting mirror and a second reflecting mirror, for detecting whether a banknote reaches the entrance. The second photoelectric sensor includes a light-emitting end, a light-receiving end, a third reflecting mirror and a fourth reflecting mirror, for detecting whether a banknote reaches the exit. The third photoelectric sensor includes a light-emitting end, a light-receiving end, an upper reflecting mirror group and a lower reflecting mirror group, for detecting whether a banknote is inside the passage.

A coin bin. The coin bin has a body defining a chamber to receive coins, the body further defining a receiving area to releasably receive part of a steering handle and being formed of a structurally strong plastic; a lid to close the chamber, the lid being lockable and removable when unlocked; and a plurality of wheels affixed to the body to support the body. The coin bin is suitable for positioning inside an automatic teller machine (ATM).
