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 coin processing device includes a coin identification mechanism, a coin distribution mechanism, a plurality of coin tubes, and a coin delivery mechanism that delivers coins housed in the coin tubes by delivering operation of pulling out the coins using a payout slide. For a specific denomination, a two-coin delivering coin tube and one-coin delivering coin tubes are provided. Location information configured of variables indicating records of payment, distribution, and delivery is used to determine the coin tube when the coin distribution mechanism distributes coins of the specific denomination and to determine the coin tube when the coin delivery mechanism delivers the coins of the specific denomination. The coin processing device can increase speed in a process of delivering coins.

A money depositing/dispensing apparatus comprises a coin depositing/dispensing device, configured to store coins acquired through a coin reception port, which includes a first path along which the stored coins travel to a coin dispensing port and a second path along which the stored coins travel to be saved, a bill depositing/dispensing device, configured to store bills acquired through a bill reception port and discharge the stored bills to a bill dispensing port, which is arranged at the lower side of the coin depositing/dispensing device in a space formed at the lower part of the coin dispensing port, and a container, configured to store coins traveling along the second path, which is detachably attached to the coin depositing/dispensing device in the space.
