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.

An information processing device includes a processor. The processor can acquire a balance of electronic money owned by a customer. The processor can update, every time the customer purchases a commodity, a total amount of price for the one or more purchased commodities. The processor can determine whether the total amount exceeds the balance of the electronic money. The processor can provide a notification in response to determining that the total amount exceeds the balance of the electronic money.

A cash balance check system includes a plurality of settlement devices each configured to perform settlement processing for commodities to be purchased by a customer and a plurality of change machines each corresponding to one of the settlement devices. The change machines being configured to perform cash deposit and dispense processing for the settlement processing. Each of the change machines is configured to generate cash balance information indicating a remaining amount of cash in the change machine and output the cash balance information in association with identification information for the change machine. Each of the settlement devices is configured to acquire the balance and identification information output from the change machines and output the acquired cash balance and identification information.
