1. A currency handling apparatus for dispensing for change funds used for replenishing a plurality of cash registers, comprising:
a plurality of money accommodating units that accommodate therein money;
an outlet that dispenses the money accommodated in the money accommodating units;
a transport unit that transports the money accommodated in the money accommodating units to the outlet;
an operation unit by which an operator inputs a single instruction to simultaneously specify the plurality of cash registers
to be replenished with the change fund;
a control unit that controls the transport unit to transport the money from the money accommodating units to the outlet;
a sensor that detects a presence or an absence of a money container for accommodating therein the money dispensed from the
outlet; and
a storage unit that stores therein previously a plurality of money dispensing patterns, each of which specifies a combination
of denominations and amounts of dispensing money, and relations between the plurality of money dispensing patterns and the
plurality of cash registers;
wherein the control unit performs discharging processes based on the money dispensing patterns corresponding to the plurality
of cash registers specified by the single instruction, and
while performing the discharging processes, after completing one discharging process to accommodate the dispensing money into
the money container and removing the money container from the outlet, the control unit automatically starts a next discharging
process when the sensor detects that the container is set again.
