<p>A bill deposit machine comprising: a deposit/return port for accepting and returning a batch of bills, a bill transport path for transporting the batch of bills accepted at said deposit/return port with the wide dimension of the bills parallel to the transport path horizontally and in a straight line, a feed-out section for feeding out the bills, one at a time, out of the batch of bills received from said bill transport path, a discriminating unit for discriminating if the bills fed out of said feed-out section can be deposited or not, and a bill returning path for transporting the rejected bills, which are determined by said discriminating unit as being unable to be deposited, to said bill transport path. A bill conveying device and a thickness detecting device for detecting the thickness of the batch of bills inserted into said deposit/return port are disposed at said deposit/return port. The batch of bills is not taken in by said bill conveying device if the batch of bills is detected to be over the specified value in thickness by said thickness detecting device. A takeout detecting device for detecting the movement of the bills which are being taken out of said deposit/return port is also disposed at said deposit/return port. Bills are projected and kept to be projected out of said deposit/return port by the specified amount by said bill conveying device when the movement of the bills which are being taken out of said deposit/return port is detected by said takeout detecting device. <IMAGE></p> |
