Abstract
An automatic vending machine which is highly reliable and which does not require any complicated operations when performing sales using a non-contact IC card, and a sales method therefor are provided. When a non-contact IC card is held up for a first time against an automatic vending machine in standby mode, monetary amount information on the card is displayed on a display section without any monetary amount information being extracted from the card, whereupon the lamps of product selection buttons corresponding to products which are available for sale are illuminated. After a product has been selected, the non-contact IC card is held up for a second time, whereupon payment processing is performed such that the monetary amount information on the card is updated.
