Abstract (en)
A method for managing and controlling money-changing machines (1), comprising at least one deposit opening (2, 3) which conveys to suitable means of validation (4, 5), recognition and conveyance (6) for elements of currency, such as coins, banknotes and tokens, and at least one reservoir (7) for currency elements, which is connected, by means of a suitable dispensing channel (8), with at least one external dispensing compartment (9). The method provides for the reception of at least one currency element introduced into the deposit opening (2, 3) by a user; the subjection of the currency element to a check, by way of the recognition and validation means (3, 4), to verify the validity and the value/type of the currency element; the conveyance and sorting by way of the conveyance means (6) of the currency element, if it is valid, into a specific reservoir (7) which is designed to collect currency elements of the same value and type thereof, and, if it is not valid, into a respective expulsion duct which conveys it outside; the dispensing, following the withdrawal from at least one respective reservoir (7), of at least one further currency element, which has the same value as the at least one currency element introduced by the user, for its withdrawal from the dispensing compartment (9) by the user.
