According to the bill processing apparatus of the present invention, the damage of bills picked one by one by the bill processing apparatus and the kind of bills are discriminated by a discriminating and judging section, and stacked in a stacking section by damaged and the kind of bills. The stacked bills are bundled by a predetermined number of bills by a binding unit, and stored in a predetermined safe. At this time, a mark is printed on the bundle of improper bills bundled by a predetermined number. Also, when the bundling state of the proper bills is not favorable, the form of the bundle of the proper bills is selected by a bundle form sensor, and stored in the same storing section as the case of the improper bills. Moreover, in dispensing each bundle, the bundling state of the bundle to be dispensed is checked by the bundle form sensor. Therefore, in a case that the bundle of the bills bundled by the predetermined number of bills is dispensed, only the bundle of the proper bills whose bundling state is within the regulated form is used.
