Abstract
Abstract A note disbursing machine is formed with a reject pool section instead of an independent reject box. An uppermost note receiving box is adapted to be accommodated in the note disbursing machine so as to face the reject pool section. The receiving box has an upper cover. A reject box for receiving rejected notes is rotatably mounted on the upper cover. A cover for covering the reject box and guiding the rejected notes is rotatably mounted on the reject box.
