Provided is a paper sheet handling system including a paper sheet identification device that identifies paper sheets, and a paper sheet counting device that counts the paper sheets identified by the paper sheet identification device. The paper sheet handling system generates previous process data including read specific codes in the order of fed paper sheets, and memorizes therein the feed-out number K of paper sheets that have been already fed at the point in time when a specific code of one paper sheet is read. A batch quantity N is an integer larger than the feed-out number K. Every time the specific code is read, the specific code is matched with the previous process data, to specify the Zth paper sheet from the paper sheet with the matched specific code as a batch expected paper sheet. Specific codes from the batch expected paper sheet to the paper sheet K before thereof are extracted from the previous process data. When it is judged that any of the specific codes from the batch expected paper sheet to the paper sheet K before thereof matches with the read specific code, an operation of a second feeding unit is stopped.
