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.

In a sheet handling machine (for example, a banknote handling machine) including a plurality of mounting units, a controlling unit controls a transporting unit and temporary storage units to perform parallel processing mode such that a storage operation for sending a sheet held by a first temporary storage unit among the plurality of temporary storage units to a storage member (for example, a banknote storage bag) and a transport operation for transporting the sheet from the transporting unit to a second temporary storage unit different from the first temporary storage unit are performed in parallel.

In order to improve efficiency of an operation of a cash handling system and reduce the labor required for the operation, a POS register receives an input of a cash-out amount, and an input of a charge amount. The POS register reads a debit card ID from a debit card, and transmits a settlement request including the debit card ID and a settlement amount to a management server. Upon receiving the settlement request, the management server withdraws the settlement amount from an account, and transmits a settlement permission to the POS register. Upon receiving the settlement permission from the management server, the POS register performs charge of electronic money, and transmits a dispensing instruction for the cash-out amount to a change machine. The change machine receives the dispensing instruction and dispenses cash.

A kiosk system including: multiple kiosks forming a network, each of said multiple kiosks comprising: a housing; a processor configured to control operation of the kiosk; a user interface; a gaming voucher and note input and output; a bill validator configured to identify and validate gaming vouchers and notes, the bill validator further configured to accept one or more gaming vouchers and notes simultaneously; a recycler cassette configured to store notes and gaming vouchers; and a note ejector configured to dispense at least notes commensurate with a value of one or more validated gaming vouchers; and a remote server communicatively linked to the multiple kiosks and a casino management system. Using a bill validator and recycler to accept both notes and gaming vouchers provides a more efficient redemption process for both the players and casinos.

Provided are a banknote-sorting production line and device thereof for banknote-bundle stamping and code-spraying, comprising a bundle stamping apparatus, a bundle code-spraying apparatus, and a banknote-supporting platform provided with a banknote inlet and a banknote outlet; the bundle stamping apparatus comprises a conveyor belt and a stamping mechanism located above the conveyor belt; the bundle code-spraying apparatus comprises a banknote-pushing mechanism and a code sprayer located directly above the banknote-supporting platform; the side of the banknote-supporting platform that is adjacent to the banknote inlet is provided with a gap matching the shape of the conveyor belt; the outlet end of the conveyor belt extends into the gap; the banknote-pushing mechanism comprises a banknote-pushing plate and a first drive mechanism that drives the banknote-pushing plate by moving reciprocatingly from the banknote-inlet side to the banknote-outlet side.

A money handling apparatus configured to dispense money includes: a container removably mounted to the apparatus and configured to store money of a plurality of denominations; a plurality of storing units configured to store money to be dispensed, for each denomination; a memory configured to store information on a threshold of a money storage quantity wherein the threshold is set for each denomination; and a control unit configured to perform control to monitor storage quantities of money for each denomination stored in the storing units, and to perform a replenishment process if a denomination of which the storage quantity becomes less than the threshold is detected, wherein in the replenishment process, money is fed out from the container, and at least one storing unit corresponding to the detected denomination is replenished with the money of the detected denomination among the fed out money.

An autonomous cash box for use in a payment terminal comprises an enclosure and a top portion mounted to the enclosure. The top portion has a displaceable lid. An electric motor and a control unit are mounted within the enclosure. The control unit is configured to activate the electric motor to selectively displace the lid to open or close the top portion of the autonomous cash box. A payment terminal receives the autonomous cash. Commands to open or close the lid may be sent from a wireless transmitter in the payment terminal and received at a wireless receiver of the autonomous cash box.
