<p>A bank note processing apparatus comprises an insert port into which plural sheets of rectangular shaped bank notes having the front/back and top/bottom extending along the longitudinal direction a take-out portion for taking out the bank notes inserted into the insert port with the top or bottom laid ahead one by one, a conveying path which conveys the bank notes taken out of the insert port with the top or bottom laid ahead, a detector which detects information relative to the front/back and top/bottom of the bank notes being conveyed on the conveying path, a front/back reversing portion which selectively reverses the front/back of the bank notes being conveyed based on the result of detection in the detector, first and second stackers which stack the bank notes of which front/back are selectively reversed in the front/back reversing portion, a sorting portion which sorts the bank notes being conveyed on the conveying path to either the first or second stacker, and first and second banding portions which band the bank notes stacked in the first and second stackers for every prescribed number of sheets at the same position of one side of the longitudinal direction of the notes. The bank note processing apparatus has a controller which controls the front/back reversing portion and the sorting portion so as to stack bank notes in the state of the front/back and top/bottom uniformly arranged with the front turned upward in either the first or second stacker and the bank notes in the state of the front/back and top/bottom arranged uniformly with the back turned upward in the other stacker. <IMAGE></p> |
