A device for placing banknotes with their front or reverse sides in the same direction is comprised of a front-reverse side checker for sensing the front or reverse sides of the banknotes, route selecting means for changing the route of the banknotes, and a pair of vane wheels consisting of an upper vane wheel and a lower vane wheel rotating in mutually opposite directions. The banknotes whose routes are changed by the route selecting means are selectively supplied to the one or the other of said vane wheels so as to be placed ultimately within a downstream stacker with their front or reverse sides facing in the same direction.
