Abstract
There is provided a bill handling device in which the size of the device can be reduced by disposing various component members in a limited amount of installation space in a space-efficient manner and efficient bill collection is further realized. The bill handling device includes a bill transport mechanism for transporting a bill inserted from a bill insertion slot along the insertion direction and ejecting the bill toward a bill push area located downstream of the bill transport mechanism; a press plate provided on one side of a housing and pressing the bill ejected in the bill push area toward the other side; a stacking tray reciprocally movable along the insertion direction and stacking and storing the bill pressed by the press plate; a stacking tray drive mechanism for reciprocally moving the stacking tray; a shutter mechanism having a shutter, the shutter mechanism opening and closing the shutter through which the front end area of the stacking tray can project. The stacking tray holds the bill such that when the front end portion of the stacking tray projects from the housing through the shutter, the front end portion of the stacked and stored bill is exposed.
