Provided is a paper sheet identification device for identifying paper sheets such that the mechanism can be simplified and costs can be reduced. The present invention is equipped with: a paper-sheet-feed-in unit (14) equipped with a feed roller whereby a paper sheet (34) introduced from an introduction slot (12) is conveyed diagonally until one edge of the paper sheet (34) in the widthwise direction is brought into contact with the wall surface of a control unit (41), and then the paper sheet (34) is advanced linearly along the wall surface of the control unit (41); a paper-sheet identifying unit (16) for identifying the paper sheet (34) fed-in by the paper-sheet-feed-in unit (14); and a storage unit (18) for storing the paper sheet (34). The present invention is characterized in that: the aforementioned feed roller comprises a straight roller (29) and a diagonal roller (35) between which the paper sheet (34) is sandwiched; the straight roller (29) is provided on a straight-roller shaft (20); and the diagonal roller (35) is provided on a diagonal-roller shaft (21) arranged parallel to the straight-roller shaft (20), and is provided so that both sides thereof are guided by guide plates (38, 39) and so that the diagonal roller (35) is capable of rotating whilst maintaining a diagonal state in relation to the diagonal-roller shaft (21). |
