Abstract
In order to improve the ability to feed paper currency from a deposit unit and to reduce the height of the device, this paper currency handling device (100) has a paper currency recognition unit (170) and a paper currency storage unit (200) (which does not include a deposit unit (120) and a withdrawal unit (140)) accommodated within a chassis section (112) of a vault (110), so that deposited paper currency is transported to the paper currency storage unit (200) and withdrawn paper currency is transported from the paper currency storage unit (200) as the paper currency passes through the chassis section (112). When the paper currency (B) is fed to a feed path unit (124) connecting the deposit unit (120) and an upstream deposit path (181), the vanes (129) of impellers (128) make contact with the paper currency (B) retained in the deposit unit (120), with the contact being on the feed path unit (124) side.
