To make it possible to omit advance preparation for processing a sheet using a header card at a cash collection center. A sheet processing apparatus includes: a recognition unit that recognizes a kind of a sheet; a transport unit that transports the recognized sheet; a storage unit that stores therein a sheet group consisting of the transported sheets; and a control unit. The sheets include a first sheet to which value is given, and a second sheet to which identification information for identifying the sheet group is given in advance. The control unit controls the transport unit based on a recognition result by the recognition unit such that the transport unit transports at least one of the sheets recognized as the first sheet to be received by the storage unit and at least one of the sheets recognized as the second sheet into the storage unit.

According to one embodiment, a paper sheet processing system includes a paper sheet processing apparatus which includes an inspection device, a reject device, and a first communication module, and a robot device which includes a robot arm and a second communication module. The reject device rejects a rejected paper sheet and a batch card to a rejecting port. When the batch card is detected, the first communication module transmits a predetermined signal to the robot device. Upon receiving the predetermined signal, the robot device takes the rejected paper sheet and the batch card out of the rejecting port by the robot arm, moves them to another storage section, and transmits a move completion signal to the paper sheet processing apparatus.
