An arrangement for handling banknotes comprises a banknote magazine (10) which is arranged to permit banknotes (39) to be fed in into as well as out from the magazine one by one, and memory means (44) for storing continuously updated information about the contents of said magazine (10). The banknote magazine consists of a controllably rotatable drum (10), containing a plurality of separate magazine compartments (11), formed by sector-like pockets, each of which extends in a generally radial direction into the drum (10) from an opening (27) located at the periphery of the drum. Through rotation of the drum (10), a selectable magazine compartment (11) can be placed with its opening (27) in front of an infeed and/or outfeed station (17, 19, 21) in order to permit an infeed of a banknote into or an outfeed of a banknote from said compartment (11) by infeed and outfeed means (28), located within the magazine compartment (11) and serving also to hold banknote fed in into the magazine compartment (11) within the latter.
