Patent ID: 8534539

Claim:
A valuable medium processing system comprising: a valuable-medium processing machine that performs a counting process on a predetermined kind of valuable medium among valuable media collected from a plurality of valuable-medium transaction machines that conduct a transaction of the valuable medium; and a control machine that stores therein and manages, for each of the valuable-medium transaction machines, the numerical quantity of the valuable media that were collected from the valuable-medium transaction machines, wherein the valuable-medium processing machine includes a recognition unit that recognizes the predetermined kind of the valuable medium among the valuable media collected from the valuable-medium transaction machines, and a counting unit that performs a counting process on the valuable media that can be recognized by the recognition unit, the control machine includes an input operation unit used for inputting the numerical quantity of valuable media that cannot be recognized by the recognition unit, and a storage unit that stores therein the numerical quantity of the valuable media that is input by the input operation unit and a counting result obtained by the counting unit, and when continuously storing in the storage unit the respective numerical quantities of the valuable media collected from the plurality of the valuable-medium transaction machines, when the numerical quantity for a second valuable-medium transaction machine among the valuable-medium transaction machines is input by the input operation unit while the counting unit is currently performing the counting process on valuable media for a first valuable-medium transaction machine among the valuable-medium transaction machines, the numerical quantity of the valuable media that was input for the second valuable-medium transaction machine is stored in the storage unit separately from the numerical quantity of the valuable media for the first valuable-medium transaction machine.
