In the flowchart) 1, an initial screen 23 as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the operator display 4 (as a title, “handheld high input work”). Is displayed). On this screen 23, denomination numbers (No.) for selecting 1 to 9 denominations and these denomination numbers. The denomination corresponding to and the message "Please select the denomination No. and enter the [deposit / cash total] key" are displayed.

Next, in step 2, the desired denomination No. is selected from the numeric keypad of the keyboard 3. When the number corresponding to is selected and input and the [deposit / cash total] key is input, it means that the denomination has been selected, and the process proceeds to step 3. In step 3, the CPU 11 checks the denomination measurement table 22 of the RAM 10. If the denomination corresponding to the denomination number entered by this check is included,
In step 4, it is determined to be automatic weighing, and the process proceeds to step 5, and if the corresponding denomination is not included, step 8
Move to. When the process proceeds to step 5, when the coin of the selected denomination is taken out from the drawer 2 and placed on the electronic weighing device 7, the weight data is read from the electronic weighing device 7.
Then, in step 6 which is the conversion means, the RAM 1
The number of coins is calculated by extracting the weight of cash per applicable coin stored in the area 22b of the denomination table 22 of 0 and dividing the read weight data. Then, in step 7, the calculated number of sheets is multiplied by the amount of money per sheet of the corresponding denomination to calculate the amount of money.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the denomination of the bill is not designated in the denomination weighing table 22, it is judged that the denomination is not automatic weighing, and the process proceeds to step 8. In this step 8, the operator manually counts the number of cash for each denomination, or the number is automatically counted by a built-in bill counting counter (not shown) and the number is input from the ten key of the keyboard 3. Since the denomination has been set in advance in 2, the amount of money is calculated in step 7 by multiplying the similarly input denomination and the amount of money of the corresponding denomination.

Subsequently, in step 9, the number of designated denominations and the amount of money which have passed through the above-mentioned process are displayed in a predetermined area of the screen 23 of the operator display 4. FIG. 5 shows an example of the case where the denomination numbers (No.) 1 to 4 are selected and counted.

The amount of money thus counted is added to the total running amount area (not shown) of the RAM 10 in step 10, and the addition result is also displayed in the total running amount column of the screen 23. After the counting of all denominations is completed in this way, if the operation for terminating the operation for counting the amount of money in hand is ended (step 11), it is judged that the operation has ended, and subsequently, in step 12, registration of the amount of money in hand and report of Output is done. That is, the handheld high data is stored in the total high amount area (not shown) of the RAM 10, and the stored data is output to the R / J printer 6 to print the report 24. An example of the printing is shown in FIG. In this example, the output report 24 identifies the store name, the branch name, its location and telephone number, the date and time when the work was performed, the amount on hand, the person in charge (operator) number, and the installation number of the electronic cash register 1. Symbols etc. are printed.
The report 24 may be output from a journal printer or a receipt printer, or either one may be selected and output.

As described above, since the weight of the coins in the drawer 2 can be weighed by using the electronic weighing instrument 7 which inputs the weight data into the electronic cash register 1 through the weighing interface 21, the computer program processing is performed. The amount of coins in the drawer 2 can be counted by the means.
