Paper sheet storage device and paper sheet handling device

A paper sheet handling device comprising a paper sheet storage device,

• the paper sheet storage device including:
• a storage that stores a paper sheet inclined with respect to a horizontal direction in a storage space narrower than the paper sheet in width;
• a plurality of guide portions including a first guide portion and a second guide portion that protrude from an inner wall of the storage toward the storage space and guide the paper sheet,
• wherein:
• the plurality of guide portions has a guide surface inclined downward with respect to the horizontal direction toward the storage space from the inner wall,
• the first guide portion and the second guide portion are arranged side by side at positions different from each other in height on a same surface of the inner wall so as to incline a laterally extending edge of the paper sheet at an angle of 45 degrees or less from the horizontal direction,
• the plurality of guide portions further includes a third guide portion and a fourth guide portion, and
• the third guide portion and the fourth guide portion are arranged below the first guide portion and the second guide portion and horizontally side by side at positions different from each other in height by a difference smaller than a difference in height between the first guide portion and the second guide portion on a surface of the inner wall facing the surface on which the first guide portion and the second guide portion are disposed.
