<p>An electronic money recovering system for efficiently recovering a lost IC card used as an electronic wallet and returning it to the owner or the organization that has issued it. When someone finds the lost IC card on which money information (electronic money) is recorded, he inserts the card (30) into a terminal (1) installed at a financial organ or a public institution. The terminal (1) transmits the information read out from the card (30) to the central control unit (5) through a communication line, and the central control unit (5) retrieves information about the address, etc. of the owner of the card (30) and informs the owner that his card is recovered through a communication means such as the telephone, letter, electronic mail, etc. The recovering efficiency can be improved by giving a reward determined in accordance with the amount of money recorded on the card. When the finder tries to draw money falsely using the card, information about the finder is recorded to prevent the finder from drawing money again and to find such false use as early as possible.</p> |
