AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0009] In the technique described in this patent document 1, a display device for the number of sheets that can be added to be inserted is provided in the banknote deposit machine, and the display device for the number of sheets that can be added to be inserted displays the number of sheets subtracted from the storage limit number of the temporary storage unit that temporarily stores the banknotes. The number of banknotes that can be added is removed from the number of banknotes that have already been deposited, thereby limiting the input of banknotes that exceed the storage capacity of the temporary storage unit

[0010] That is, in Patent Document 1, by displaying how many banknotes can also be inserted in the banknote deposit machine, the deposit operation of the person in charge who wants to insert more banknotes than the displayed number is restricted, thereby reducing the number of banknotes in the deposit operation.
