Disclosed herein are financial article handling devices comprising an external aperture connected to a rotary table. The rotary table can contain two or more financial article handling units disposed on the rotary table, each of which can be configured to form an interface with the external aperture. The financial article handling devices can receive an indication from a first financial article handling unit that the first financial article handling unit is no longer functional, disconnect the first financial article handling unit from the external aperture, and articulate the rotary table such that a second financial article handling unit is in communication with the external aperture.

An object of the present invention is to provide a currency handling system which makes it possible to decrease a risk of dealing with foreign currency at the time of the occurrence of a communication error in a case in which a currency reading device capable of accepting a variety of currencies including a foreign currency is used while the currency handling system is connected to a management server through a communication line. A currency handling system 100 is connected to a casino management system 2 through a network 3, and includes a currency reading device 201 which is capable of accepting a variety of currencies and a PTS terminal 700. The PTS terminal 700 causes a process which limits usage of a foreign currency but allows usage of a local currency in the currency reading device 201 to be performed in a case (offline state) in which an error occurs in communication with the casino management system 2.

An object of the present invention is to provide a management server which makes it possible to set areas in which a predetermined currency is available and areas in which the predetermined currency is unavailable, in a case in which a lot of currency handling systems in each of which a variety of currencies are available are used. A slot machine management server 1 is connected with currency handling systems including a currency reading device 201 in which a variety of currencies are available. Each currency handling system 100 is associated with any of areas A to H. The slot machine management server 1 includes: an input unit 104; a communication interface 103; and a center controller 101, and the center controller 101 sends a command of causing a process of allowing usage of the selected currency to be performed in a case in which the center controller 101 receives a selection of an area and a selection of a currency, a currency read in the currency reading device 201 corresponds to the selected currency, and the currency reading device 201 that read the currency corresponds to the selected area.

An automated teller machine includes: a main body; a reception unit; a temporary holding unit; an identification unit; a recycle cassette; a reject cassette; a utility cassette; a conveyance path through which a medium is conveyed; and a control unit. The control unit controls the conveyance path such that when the medium is replenished through the transit cassette, the medium recognized as the normal banknote by the identification unit, among the mediums stored in the transit cassette, is temporarily stored in the temporary holding unit, and among the mediums temporarily stored in the temporary holding unit, the medium recognized as the normal banknote by the identification unit is transferred to the transit cassette.

An automated teller machine includes: a main body having an entrance; a reception unit; a temporary holding unit; an identification unit; a recycle cassette; a reject cassette; a deposit cassette; a utility cassette disposed in a lower portion of the main body; a conveyance path through which the medium is conveyed; and a control unit. The control unit controls the conveyance path such that when the medium is recovered through the recovery transit cassette, the medium recognized as the normal banknote by the identification unit, among the mediums stored in the deposit cassette and the recycle cassette, is temporarily stored in the temporary holding unit, and among the mediums temporarily stored in the temporary holding unit, the medium recognized as the normal banknote by the identification unit is recovered to the recovery transit cassette.

A paper money handling apparatus includes a dispenser unit to dispense paper money, and the dispenser unit includes a bottom portion on which at least a portion on a front side of the paper money is placed, a pair of side walls located at both the left and right sides of the bottom portion, a front wall located at a front edge of the bottom portion, and a cover located above the bottom portion. A front edge of the dispenser unit has cutouts at least in the bottom portion and the front wall, and the cover is arranged in an openable or closable manner so that the cover rotates and opens from a side of the front edge.

The present invention is directed to providing to a bundle module of a medium deposit device capable of not only arranging leading ends of rejected bill media which are returned to the bundle module but also preventing collision between a leading medium and a following medium and a jam occurrence of the media according to the collision. In the present invention to implement the objectives, a bundle module of the medium deposit device, in which deposit media in units of bundles are input or which receives rejected bill media in units of bundles, includes a transfer path which provides a deposit path or reject path of media, a first belt which is provided above the transfer path and rotatably driven, a second belt which is provided under the transfer path and rotatably driven and on which the media are loaded and stacked, and a guide unit which is provided at one side of the first belt to provide a transfer surface for the deposited or rejected media, wherein, when the media are rejected, the guide unit rotates to be inclined downward toward one side so that a leading end portion of a rejected following medium is positioned on and overlaps a rear end portion of a rejected leading medium.

A paper sheet processing device includes: an input unit into which paper sheets are input from the outside; an identification unit for identifying the paper sheets fed out from the input unit while allowing them to pass through in a first direction and identifying the paper sheets while allowing them to pass through in a second direction opposite to the first direction; a temporary storage unit for temporarily storing the paper sheets identified as being acceptable by the identification unit; a payout unit for accommodating the paper sheets identified as being unacceptable by the identification unit so as to be able to be taken out to the outside; and a storage unit for storing the paper sheets fed out from the temporary storage unit and identified by the identification unit while being allowed to pass through the identification unit in the second direction, wherein the paper sheets fed out from the temporary storage unit and identified by the identification unit while being allowed to pass through the identification unit in the second direction can be transferred to the input unit.

A transactional currency sanitizer which includes an enclosure, a deposit device on the enclosure for depositing the currency into said enclosure, an ultraviolet radiation-producing (UV) device with at least two spaced-apart UV light emitters, and a retrieval device on the enclosure for retrieving the currency from said enclosure. The deposit device is configured to receive the currency and pass the currency between the at least two spaced-apart UV light emitters to sanitize both sides of the currency and the retrieval device is configured to accept the sanitized currency from between said device at least two spaced-apart UV light emitters and to provide the sanitized currency for retrieval from said enclosure.

An apparatus for aligning at least one note of value along a transport path including at least one transport element, at least one first drive unit, first and second rotatably mounted deflecting elements, and a second drive unit. The transport element includes an endless drive belt. The first drive unit drives the transport element in a first direction of rotation which moves the note of value along the transport path in a transport direction. The transport element is deflected over the deflecting elements. The second drive unit displaces at least one of the first and second deflecting elements along its axis of rotation so that by displacing the one of the first and second deflecting elements the note of value contacting the at least one transport element is moved obliquely to the transport direction.
