Claim:
1. A method for outputting and collecting money applied to self-service equipment, wherein money boxes of the self-service equipment have two statuses comprising a functional status and a collecting status; under the functional status, the money box performs a general function of storing money in a common situation; and when a collecting box becomes full or abnormal, a certain one of the money boxes is selected and switched from the functional status to the collecting status to act as a temporary collecting box; wherein when there is an empty money box of the self-service equipment or a certain money box of the self-service equipment has a small amount of money, the money box is selected and set to enter the collecting status to act as the temporary collecting box; in the case that normal money exists in the money box acting as the temporary collecting box, automatic isolation is performed, that is, the normal money in the money box is retained in the money box, the normal money is isolated into a back end part of the money box by using a physical device, and a front end part is separated for accommodating collected money and waste money; or all money in the money box is removed and stored into a money box for money of the same denomination, and the money box is spared to act as the temporary collecting box.
