Abstract
When a non-contact IC card is detected, a card reader/writer immediately starts communications. The electronic money information stored on the non-contact IC card is transmitted to a control device of a vending machine. When merchandise is sold, the control device subtracts the price of the merchandise from the balance of the electronic money of the non-contact IC card, replaces the existing data with new data on the non-contact IC card, and releases the merchandise. To easily communicate with the non-contact IC card, the vending machine is provided with a holding unit.
