Abstract
A banknote handling apparatus is operable in a code management mode in which banknotes stored in a storage unit are managed based on codes of the banknotes read by a recognition unit, and in a count management mode in which the banknotes stored in the storage unit are managed by counting the number of the banknotes to be stored in the storage unit. The banknote handling apparatus is switchable between the code management mode and the count management mode.
