Abstract
Abstract In an automatic bank note transaction apparatus, the deposited notes are circulated and appropriated for dispensation, as in the normal window operation. The amounts of money for previously stored notes for dispensation, deposited notes, and dispensed notes are stored and calculated so that the current amount of money stored in the automatic bank note transaction apparatus is indicated by a display section as required, thereby improving the efficiency of fund operations.
