Abstract:
1. A banknote handling apparatus that performs a depositing process and/or a dispensing process by transporting banknotes along a transport path, comprising: a recognition unit that recognizes an inserted banknote; a deposit acceptability judging unit that determines, based on a recognition result obtained by the recognition unit, whether the banknote is acceptable for deposit; a reject reason identifying unit that identifies a reject reason of a rejected banknote that is determined to be unacceptable for deposit by the deposit acceptability judging unit; a dispensing processing unit that sorts and dispenses the rejected banknotes based on the reject reason identified by the reject reason identifying unit; and a notifying unit that notifies of dispensing destination information for the rejected banknote, wherein the dispensing processing unit sorts and dispenses a rejected proper banknote and another rejected banknote into different dispensing destinations, the rejected proper banknote being a banknote which can be properly handled after being reinserted, and wherein the notifying unit notifies where the rejected proper banknote, which should be reinserted, is dispensed.
