Abstract:
A paper sheet handling apparatus includes a stacking unit which allows paper sheets transported by a transport unit to be stacked therein in alignment with faces of an adjacent pair of the paper sheets being in contact with each other. A recognition unit recognizes which of a face or back of each of the paper sheets transported faces up, and how each of the paper sheets is oriented. A controller classifies the paper sheets into a plurality of types different in thickness distribution based on the result of recognition, manages the number of paper sheets of each type stacked in the stacking unit, and makes a determination whether to permit the stacking of the paper sheets in the stacking unit based on the type of the paper sheets recognized by the recognition unit, and the number of paper sheets of each type that have been stacked in the stacking unit.

Claim (Index 6):
The paper sheet handling apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a second stacking unit in which the paper sheets transported by the transport unit are stacked in alignment, with surfaces of an adjacent pair of the paper sheets being in contact with each other, wherein the controller controls the transport unit so that paper sheets which are not permitted to be stacked in the stacking unit are stacked in the second stacking unit.
