<p>Provided is a bank note processing device whereby the rate of malfunctioning can be further reduced relative to the prior art. On the basis of the results of bank note sorting performed by a sorting part (21) in a prior stage on bank notes stored in a temporary holding part (22), when the bank notes stored in the temporary holding part (22) are sent out, a determination is made as to whether each bank note stored in the temporary holding part (22) is a normal bank note or a bank note that should be stored separately from the normal bank notes, and bank notes that are determined to be bank notes that should be stored separately from the normal bank notes are conveyed from the temporary holding part (22) directly to a reject box (23) and stored without intervention by the sorting part (22). By this configuration, the conveyance distance from the temporary holding part (22) to the storage destination can be shortened relative to a case in which the bank notes must be conveyed along a path through the sorting part, and the rate of malfunctioning caused by bank notes that should be stored separately from normal bank notes can be reduced.</p> |
