Abstract
A paper sheet stacking unit (paper sheet stacking apparatus) includes a coil provided in a stacking space with an axis of the coil intersecting an expected stacking surface and a bottom end of the coil being in proximity to the expected stacking surface. The coil spins about the coil axis, while holding a rim of an entering bill, to move the entering bill toward the expected stacking surface, and then releases the hold of the rim of the entering bill to stack the bill on the expected stacking surface. The coil also presses the bills stacked on the expected stacking surface. That is, the coil has both functions of guiding unit and pressing unit of bills.
