PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase discriminating capacity without increasing an apparatus size. SOLUTION: The paper sheet discriminating apparatus is provided with: a plurality of discriminating blades 22 which are arranged in a cylinder within a rotating drum 21 along an inner peripheral surface thereof, to define a discriminating region 24 for receiving paper sheet, with their transverse end portions superposed on one another with gaps therebetween; a drive motor 28 which revolves the discriminating blades 22 around the center of the discriminating region 24 by rotating the rotating drum 21, thereby causing the paper sheets thinner than the gaps, out of the plurality of paper sheets of different thicknesses in the discriminating region 24, to pass through the gaps; and a control section 40 which performs control to change a rotating state of the rotating drum 21 driven by the drive motor 28.
