Valuable-Medium Processing Apparatus and Valuable-Medium Processing Method

摘要

A valuable-medium processing apparatus includes a receptacle in which valuable mediums are put; an escrow unit that temporarily holds the valuable mediums; a storage unit that stores therein the valuable mediums; a transporting unit including a holding route in which the valuable mediums put in the receptacle are temporarily held in the escrow unit and then transported to the storage unit, and a non-holding route in which the valuable mediums put in the receptacle are transported to the storage unit without being held in the escrow unit; and a control unit that, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, controls the transporting unit to determine a transporting route by selecting one of the holding route and the non-holding route, and transport the valuable mediums via the determined route.
