Claim 18:
19. A valuable medium handling method comprising:
performing communication, via a communication network, between a controller and a communication circuitry disposed at a storage unit that is detachably attached to a first medium handling device and that stores valuable mediums;
transmitting, by the communication circuitry, storage unit information related to the storage unit, via the communication network;
transmitting, by the communication circuitry, at least one of positional information of the storage unit and opening/closing-state information of a door of the storage unit, to the controller, in a state where the storage unit is detached from the first medium handling device;
monitoring, by the controller, the storage unit based on at least one of the positional information and the opening/closing-state information having been received;
transmitting, by the communication circuitry, the storage unit information related to the storage unit, before the storage unit is attached to the first medium handling device, the storage unit information including valuable medium information that is related to the valuable mediums stored in the storage unit and is stored in a memory of the storage unit;
receiving, by the controller, the storage unit information transmitted by the communication circuitry, before the storage unit is attached to the first medium handling device;
before the storage unit is attached to the first medium handling device, based on the valuable medium information included in the storage unit information, determining, by the controller, a process for handling, in the first medium handling device, the valuable mediums stored in the storage unit; and
performing, by the controller, the determined process.
