Abstract
The present invention provides a coin depositing and dispensing machine 11 that can be continuously used without going out-of-service even if a failure occurs in a certain storing and dispensing portion. Among a plurality of storing and dispensing portions 22 to 27, denominations of coins to be stored are assigned to the storing and dispensing portions 22 to 25, respectively, and no denomination is assigned to the storing and dispensing portions 26 and 27. When a failure occurs in one of the storing and dispensing portions 22 to 25, the assignment of a denomination related to the failure is changed from the storing and dispensing portion in which the failure occurred to either one of the storing and dispensing portion 26 and 27 to which no denomination is assigned.
