• a paper sheet holding member disposed on a second side of said paper sheet guide and including a permanent magnet piece or a ferromagnetic piece, wherein said paper sheet holding member is held against said second side of said paper sheet guide due to the magnetic attraction between said permanent magnet and said paper sheet holding member;
• and
• a means for preventing said paper sheet holding member from disengaging from said second side of said paper sheet guide, said means being disposed at said second side of said paper sheet guide.

A paper sheet holder comprising:

• a base plate;
• a paper sheet guide formed of a non-magnetic material and extending upwardly in a slanted manner from said base plate;
• a plurality of permanent magnets embedded in said paper sheet guide, wherein said permanent magnets are spaced in a horizontal direction;
• and
