A bundle conveyance unit conveys a medium bundle created by a storage unit in a conveyance direction along a bundle conveyance path. Either the storage unit or the bundle conveyance unit includes a conveyance guide that is disposed at a connection location between the storage unit and the bundle conveyance unit, that forms a portion of the bundle conveyance path, and that transitions between a state communicating the bundle conveyance path with the inside of a reject storage box, and a state communicating the bundle conveyance path with the inside of a stacking section.

A coin handling apparatus having: a first coin position; a second coin position; and a pipe for transporting coins from the first to the second coin position. The pipe is jointed and has a rigid, elongate element having a straight, elongate portion and a curved portion at a first end of the straight, elongate portion. The pipe further includes a rigid, curved element. The curved portion and the curved element are connected to define a continuous passageway through the curved element and the elongate element. The curved element, at least before mounting of the pipe in the coin handling apparatus, is rotatable in relation to the elongate element, such that an angle between a first opening of the curved element and a direction extending along the straight elongate portion is variable.

Provided is a valuable medium handling apparatus that handles a valuable medium and includes: an acquisition unit that acquires information on an operation result of the valuable medium handling apparatus; and an output unit that outputs, to an external apparatus, first identification information which includes the information on the operation result of the valuable medium handling apparatus acquired by the acquisition unit and which is used for identification of the valuable medium handling apparatus.

A money handling method to be executed by a money handling machine including a body and an extension unit. The method includes: instructing the extension unit to replenish the body with money with a specified denomination; replenishing the body from the extension unit in accordance with the instruction; recognizing a denomination of each of the money sent from the extension unit; storing the money in a first storage unit associated with a first denomination in a first case where the denomination recognized is the first denomination identical to the specified denomination; storing money in a second storage unit in a second case where the denomination recognized is a second denomination different from the specified denomination; and continuing the replenishment with the money using the extension unit as instructed in both the first case and the second case.

A money item handling system, comprising a mixed denomination money item storage region comprising at least one money item outlet routing; at least one money item collection zone arranged to receive mixed denomination money items outlet through the at least one money item outlet routing; at least one money item conveyor arranged to collect money items from the at least one money item collection zone and to convey money items collected from the at least one money item collection zone around a path of the at least one money item conveyor; at least one money item flow control apparatus; and at least one actuator configured to controllably actuate the at least one money item flow control apparatus to selectively control movement of money items from the mixed denomination money item storage region to the at least one money item collection zone.

Currency processing systems, coin processing machines, coin sorting and recycling assemblies, and methods of making and methods of using the same are presented herein. A currency processing system is disclosed which includes a housing with a coin input area for receiving coins and coin receptacles for stowing processed coins. A disk-type coin processing unit includes a rotatable disk for imparting motion to input coins, and a sorting head for separating and discharging coins from exit stations. An automated coin chute receives coins from one of the exit stations. The automated coin chute includes a movable diverter plate that selectively transitions between a first position, whereby coins received from the exit station of the disk-type coin processing unit are redirected through a coin-recycling output passage to a coin-recycling receptacle, and a second position, whereby coins received from the exit station are redirected through a coin-depositing output passage to a coin-depositing receptacle.
