A host device comprising an input/output (I/O) port, a first sensor, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to determine a cassette is docked with the host device, receive a transaction request requiring a specific denomination for dispensing, cause a picker system of the cassette to retrieve a target bill from a storage position of a bill storage component of the cassette based on the specific denomination for the transaction request and a storage position for a bill matching the specific denomination where the cassette is configured to generate a bill list comprising bill information for each bill of the plurality of bills including a respective denomination and the storage position for each bill, and cause the I/O port to dispense the target bill.

A money handling method includes: dispensing, by a money handling device, money stored in a storage unit in response to a request by a user, if a predetermined condition is satisfied; refilling, by a second device, the storage unit with money, if the money handling device is used by the user at the time of the start of refill by the second device; suspending the refill by the second device; and performing, by the second device, the suspended refill after the end of use of the money handling device by the user.

The device comprises an input compartment for inputting notes of value, a pull-off and separating unit for separating the notes, a value note identification unit for identifying the separated notes. The device comprises a cash box for storing notes. A control unit determines whether a filling level of the cash box has reached or exceeded a predetermined value. The control unit determines a remaining capacity of the cash box. The control unit deducts the number of notes transported to the cash box from the remaining capacity after a predetermined fill level of the cash box has been reached.

A cassette for receiving and dispensing bills is disclosed. The cassette includes a first sensor structured to detect a fill level of the cassette, a second sensor structured to detect a location of the cassette, and memory having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive, at one or more time intervals, data from the first sensor indicating the fill level of the cassette, transmit the location of the cassette and an indication of the fill level of the cassette to a remote computing device, and in response to determining that the fill level of the cassette is outside of a threshold value, transmit a notification to the remote computing device.

A cash management apparatus includes: a communication interface configured to acquire information of cash stored in a cash handling apparatus and information of cash kept outside the cash handling apparatus; a memory configured to store the information of the cash stored in the cash handling apparatus, and store the information of the cash kept outside the cash handling apparatus as information of cash kept in a virtual safe; and processing circuitry configured to output the information, of the cash kept in the virtual safe, which is stored in the memory, to notify a user. A plurality of pieces of information, each of which is information of cash kept in each of a plurality of virtual safes, is stored in the memory.
