A banknote stacking and separating apparatus, comprising:

• a frame, and a guide plate and a pressing plate that are disposed on the frame;
• wherein the frame is provided with an entrance-and-exit for a banknote;
• wherein one end of the guide plate adjacent to the entrance-and-exit is pivotally connected to the frame, and the guide plate is operative to rotate around an axis of a pivoting shaft and is configured to guide a moving direction of the banknote while the banknote is being collected;
• wherein the pressing plate is configured to support collected banknotes and press the banknotes towards the guide plate while the banknotes are being separated;
• and
• wherein one end of the guide plate far away from the entrance-and-exit is provided with a force-releasing portion configured for supporting the guide plate while the pressing plate is pressing the banknotes towards the guide plate, thus creating a gap between the guide plate and the banknotes supported by the pressing plate.
