When a bill-jam occurs in a bill dispenser, the jammed bill or the subsequent bill is easily removed.
An arc-shaped conveyance passage (20) that is formed in an arc shape and that includes a cylindrical drive roller (21) rotating about a rotational shaft (21a) and plural pressure rollers (22) pressurizing an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical drive roller, is provided in a conveyance passage connecting a discrimination part (3) to a reception part (1) in the bill dispenser. A switching blade (6) is disposed in a branch part (26) between the arc shape conveyance passage (20) and a branch conveyance passage (27) connected to a temporary holding part 4. A first unit (31) and a second unit (34) are rotated about respective rotational fulcrums (32), (35) in which the fist unit (31) includes the reception part (1) and a pressure roller (22) of the arc-shaped conveyance passage (20) at the side of the reception part (1), and the second unit (34) includes the temporary holding part (4), a pressure roller (22) immediately near to the branch part (26), and the switching blade (6). The arc-shaped conveyance passage (20) is opened by rotating the first and second units (31), (34).
