Abstract

A bill storage unit has a bill storage portion for storing bills and a bill validator which takes in a bill to validate the bill. A feeding device feeds the bill delivered from the bill validator to the bill storage portion along a feeding path. A correcting device removes a fold in the bill by applying a force stretching the bill, while the bill is being supported and guided along at least part of the feeding path.
