1. A money handling machine configured to handle money, the money handling machine comprising:
a storage configured to store money;
an outlet configured to receive money delivered from the storage in the outlet, the outlet being configured to allow the money to be removed from inside of the outlet;
a detector configured to detect a removal action associated with removal of the money from the outlet;
a holder configured to hold the money;
recognition circuitry configured to recognize the money; and
control circuitry configured to switch a process on money remaining in the outlet, based on a result of detection by the detector, wherein
the control circuitry is configured to perform
a first process of controlling an operation of the money handling machine such that the money remaining in the outlet is transported to the storage in a case where the detector does not detect the removal action, and
a second process on the money remaining in the outlet in a case where the detector detects the removal action, the second process being different from the first process, and
in the second process, the control circuitry is configured to
control an operation of the money handling machine such that the money remaining in the outlet is transported to the holder in a case where a first recognition result and a second recognition result do not coincide with each other, the first recognition result being a result of recognition by the recognition circuitry performed on money delivered from the storage and received by the outlet, the second recognition result being a result of recognition by the recognition circuitry performed on the money remaining in the outlet, and
control an operation of the money handling machine such that the money remaining in the outlet is transported to the storage in a case where the first recognition result and the second recognition result coincide with each other.
