A bill handling apparatus has a deposit/withdrawal unit ( 2 ) at the upper side of a casing ( 1 ), a base unit ( 3 ) at the lower side of the casing ( 1 ), and intermediate units 4 A to 4 C. The deposit/withdrawal unit ( 2 ) includes a bill introducing mechanism ( 21 ), a bill discharging mechanism ( 23 ) and a conveying mechanism ( 29 ). The base unit ( 3 ) includes a bill storage section ( 31 ), a conveying mechanism ( 32 ) and a taking-in and taking-out mechanism ( 34 ). Each intermediate unit ( 4 A) to ( 4 C) includes a bill storage section ( 41 ), a conveying mechanism ( 42 ), a taking-in and taking-out mechanism ( 44 ) and a switcher for switching a bill-moving direction. Elements forming the bill storage sections and transfer mechanisms are made common. Thus, the number of the bill storage sections can be easily increased or decreased, and bills can be taken in and out of each storage section.
