A paper sheet handling apparatus includes a conveyance path configured to convey a paper sheet and a wind-up drum around which a paper sheet is winded, and includes an accommodating section configured to accommodate a paper sheet conveyed by the conveyance path, by winding the paper sheet around the wind-up drum, a drive mechanism configured to drive the conveyance path, and a controller configured to control the drive mechanism. The conveyance path includes an arc-shaped pathway on which the conveyance path is curved along a conveyance direction of a paper sheet. The controller corrects a curl generated in the paper sheet by the wind-up drum, by curving the paper sheet in a direction opposite to the curl, by controlling the drive mechanism to feed a paper sheet discharged from the accommodating section, to the arc-shaped pathway, and reciprocate the paper sheet along the arc-shaped pathway.

Provided is a sheet transport mechanism disposed between a feeding mechanism feeding out a sheet and an acceptance mechanism receiving the sheet. The sheet transport mechanism includes: a transport unit that transports the sheet; and a plurality of curl correction units each including a contact unit which comes into contact with the sheet that is transported by the transport unit. The plurality of curl correction units is disposed at positions different from each other on a transport route of the transport unit, respectively.
