Abstract
A paper sheet processing apparatus which can accurately determine whether the paper sheet is legitimate or not even if a conveyor member has a manufacturing error. The apparatus includes: a conveyor roller to convey the paper sheet inserted into an insertion slot; a paper sheet reader to read the paper sheet; a detector to detect an actual measurement value in the predetermined area along a traveling direction of the paper sheet; a storage to store a reference value of length; and an authenticity judgment part to judge the authenticity of the paper sheet based on a comparison of the actual measurement value and the reference value. The reference value is determined based on length calculated by reading a legitimate paper sheet, a theoretical value of the length in the predetermined area, and a predetermined tolerant value for a legitimate paper sheet.
