a recognition unit configured to recognize the paper sheets transported in the transport path; a reject unit configured to stack rejected paper sheets discharged from the transport path based on a recognition result by the recognition unit; and a display unit configured to display information for rejected paper sheets in a manner which is different for a case where the number of the rejected paper sheets stacked in the reject unit can be determined, and for a case where the number of the rejected paper sheets stacked in the reject unit cannot be determined. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A paper sheet handling apparatus comprising: a transport path configured to transport paper sheets; a recognition unit configured to recognize the paper sheets transported in the transport path; a reject unit configured to stack rejected paper sheets discharged from the transport path based on a recognition result by the recognition unit; and a display unit configured to display information for rejected paper sheets in a manner which is different for a case where the number of the rejected paper sheets stacked in the reject unit can be determined, and for a case where the number of the rejected paper sheets stacked in the reject unit cannot be determined. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The paper sheet handling apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display unit displays the total number of the rejected paper sheets stacked in the reject unit when the number of the rejected paper sheets stacked in the reject unit can be determined, and displays, as the number of times rejection has occurred, a value obtained by adding the total number of rejected paper sheets for which the number of paper sheets has been determined, and the number of times rejection has occurred in a state where the number of rejected paper sheets cannot be determined, instead of the total number of rejected paper sheets for which the number of paper sheets has been determined, being displayed, in a case where rejection has occurred in a state where the number of rejected paper sheets cannot be determined, and the number of rejected paper sheets stacked in the reject unit cannot be determined. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The paper sheet handling apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display unit displays the total number of the rejected paper sheets stacked in the reject unit while the number of the rejected paper sheets stacked in the reject unit can be determined, and displays, as a number, the number of times rejection has occurred in a state where the number of rejected paper sheets cannot be determined, in addition to the total number of rejected paper sheets for which the number of paper sheets has been determined in a case where rejection has occurred in a state where the number of rejected paper sheets cannot be determined, and the number of rejected paper sheets stacked in the reject unit cannot be determined. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The paper sheet handling apparatus according to claim 3, wherein, when the number of times rejection has occurred in a state where the number of rejected paper sheets cannot be determined, the number of times rejection has occurred is displayed according to respective reject reasons. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The paper sheet handling apparatus according to claim 2, wherein a numerical value representing the number of times rejection has occurred is displayed together with information indicating that the numerical value represents the number of times rejection has occurred in a state where the number of rejected paper sheets cannot be determined. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The paper sheet handling apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the total number of rejected paper sheets and the number of times rejection has occurred are displayed in different colors, respectively. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The paper sheet handling apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a case where the number of rejected paper sheets cannot be determined is a case where a paper sheet transported in the transport path is in at least one of: an overlapping state; a chaining state; an abnormal thickness state; and an abnormal size state.
