Abstract:
1. A banknote handling apparatus that performs a depositing process and/or a dispensing process of a banknote, comprising: a reject reason identifying unit that identifies a reject reason of a rejected banknote that is determined to be an unacceptable banknote for the depositing process; a dispensing processing unit that sorts and dispenses a rejected proper banknote, which can be properly handled after being reinserted, and another rejected banknote into different dispensing destinations each of which has an opening to remove banknotes therefrom; a notifying unit that provides notifying information by which a dispensing destination of the rejected proper banknote can be identified; a recognition unit that recognizes the banknote; a storing unit that stores the banknote; and a storage-error detecting unit that detects an error of the storing unit, wherein the dispensing processing unit dispenses, when the recognition unit has recognized the rejected banknote as being proper and the storage-error detecting unit has detected an error of the storing unit corresponding to the rejected banknote, the rejected banknote as the rejected proper banknote separately from the another banknote.
