Money handling machine

A money handling machine for handling money comprising:

• a denomination-specific storing portion that has a plurality of storing units and that stores money by denomination in the storing units;
• a money transport unit that transports money to a predetermined dispending portion;
• a transport starting unit that causes the money transport unit to start transport of the money stored in the denomination-specific storing portion;
• and
• a dispensing limitation portion that performs dispensing limitation processing on the money being transported,
• wherein at least dispensing processing is performed in which, an amount of money to be dispensed out of the money stored in the denomination-specific storing portion is brought to the dispending portion through the transport;
• the dispensing limitation processing is processing in which whether or not the money is allowed to be dispensed is determined based on predetermined conditions, and in which the transport of money determined not to be allowed to be dispensed is prevented from being completed such that the money is not dispensed;
• and
• the dispensing processing is processing in which, after the transport of the amount of money to be dispensed is started for all denominations to be dispensed, money is transported from the denomination-specific storing portion to the dispensing portion such that a shortage of dispensed money produced by performing the dispensing limitation processing is replenished.

A method of controlling a money handling machine including a denomination-specific storing portion that has a plurality of storing units and that stores money by denomination in the storing portions such that the money handling machine performs dispensing processing in which an amount of money to be dispensed out of the money stored in the denomination-specific storing portion is transported to a predetermined dispensing portion, the method comprising:

• a first step of starting the transport of the amount of all money to be dispensed out of the money stored in the denomination-specific storing portion to the dispensing portion;
• a second step of determining, on the money being transported in the first step, whether or not the money is allowed to be dispensed, and of performing, on money determined not to be allowed to be dispensed, the dispensing limitation processing for preventing the transport from being completed;
• and
• a third step of transporting, after completion of the first step for all denominations to be dispensed, money from the denomination-specific storing portion to the dispensing portion such that a shortage of dispensed money produced by performing the dispensing limitation processing is replenished.
