A paper sheet handling machinecomprises an upper unithaving a paper sheet take-in apparatusadapted for taking therein paper sheets, one by one, from the exterior, an upper transport mechanismadapted for transporting the paper sheets taken in by the paper sheet take-in apparatus, one by one, and a recognition unitadapted for recognizing each paper sheet transported by the upper transport mechanism; a lower unitlocated below the upper unitand having a lower transport mechanismprovided to receive the paper sheets transferred from the upper transport mechanism, one by one, and then further transport the transferred paper sheets, and a plurality of stacking units, each adapted for stacking therein the paper sheets transported by the lower transport mechanismand sorted based on results obtained by the recognition unit. In this case, at least a part of a bottom portion of the upper unitis opened. Additionally, a partition memberis provided between the upper unitand the lower unit

Paper sheet handling machine

The banknote processing deviceincludes a first upper stacking unitthat is provided at an upper position of the banknote processing device and stacks rejected notes; a second upper stacking unitthat is provided adjacent to the first upper stacking unit and stacks banknotes other than the rejected notes; first to fourth lower stacking units-that are arranged in parallel at lower positions of the banknote processing device and stack banknotes of at least one specific denomination; and a controllerthat controls the transport unit to transport the banknote to the first upper stacking unit when a recognition result is a rejected note, and to transport the banknote to one of the second upper stacking unit and the first to fourth lower stacking units when the recognition result is not a rejected note.
