Abstract

A bill processing device includes: a bill insertion slot into which a bill is inserted; a bill conveying mechanism that conveys the bill inserted from the bill insertion slot along the insertion direction or returns the bill toward the bill insertion slot; a bill validating sensor that validates whether the bill inserted into the bill insertion slot is valid or not; a bill storing section that stores bills in a stacked manner in the direction orthogonal to the bill insertion direction; a sorting mechanism that stores the bills in the bill storing section in a stacked manner and that performs the sorting between the bills and a bill which is subsequently inserted; and a noncontact mechanism that causes the bills stored in the bill storing section not to come in contact with the bill conveying mechanism, until the bill is carried in the storage position.
