Abstract
This bill device is constituted of a relatively elongated casing. A bill insertion slit is formed substantially in the center of this casing in its longitudinal direction. A first U-shaped bill conveying passage communicating with the bill insertion slit is provided in one half of the casing and a second U-shaped bill conveying passage communicating with this first U-shaped bill conveying passage is provided in another half of the casing. A bill discrimination section is disposed in the former half of the first U-shaped bill conveying passage and a bill accumulating device is disposed in the latter half of the second bill conveying passage such that a plurality of bills after discrimination are retained in the two U-shaped bill conveying passages. In a case where a part of the temporarily retained bills are accepted and the rest of the bills are returned, a bill return operation is performed prior to a bill accumulating operation such that a required number of bills are returned first from among temporarily retained bills and thereafter the rest of the bills are accepted into the bill accumulating device.
