Provided is a circulation-type paper sheet storage unit equipped with circulation units in a casing, enabling to swiftly take measures and perform recovery processing on the user side when the circulation unit malfunctions. The paper sheet storage unit includes circulation units (and) that are accommodated in a casingto receive paper sheets transported into the casing by operating upon reception of a drive force from a motor and feed paper sheets stored therein to outside of the casing. The casing includes guide membersthat serve as a guide at the time of attaching or detaching the circulation unit with respect to the casing, and the circulation unit includes guided members (A,A,B, andB) which respectively detachably engage with the guide member, and are guided to an installation completion position along the guide members in an engaged state.

Provided is a paper sheet replenishing box (paper feed device) for replenishing reserve fund in each circulation-type paper sheet storage unit, wherein paper sheets of each denomination can be replenished from one paper sheet replenishing box in which paper sheets of different denominations having different sizes are accommodated together to a circulation unit of the respective circulation-type paper sheet storage units. The paper sheet replenishing box includes a first tray piecein which a plurality of pieces of first paper sheets Pare placed in a stacked state, a second tray piecearranged immediately below the first tray piece, on which a plurality of pieces of second paper sheets Phaving a different longitudinal dimension from that of the first paper sheet are placed in a stacked state, and rear-end regulating membersandthat align front end positions in a transport direction of respective paper sheet bundles to predetermined positions. After all the first paper sheets in a bundle on the first tray piece have been fed by a feed unit, an uppermost surface of the second paper sheets in a bundle on the second tray piece becomes a state capable of coming in contact with the feed unit.

Provided is a drive transmission switching mechanism that can switch and drive two circulation units by one motor in response to a switching operation of a paper sheet transport direction. A paper sheet storage unit includes a first circulation unitand a second circulation unitthat respectively receive transported paper sheets upon reception of a drive force from a single motorand feed paper sheets stored therein, a sorterthat sorts paper sheets to either one of the circulation units, and a drive transmission switching mechanismthat transmits a drive force from the motor to either one of the circulation units. The drive transmission switching mechanism is activated in conjunction with an operation to change the posture of the sorter, thereby switching and transmitting the drive force to either one of the circulation units.
