Abstract A bill discriminator including within a housing a bill conveying mechanism which comprises a bill conveying path, a driving pulley, a driven pulley and conveyor belt and which is rotatable in both forward and reverse directions for conveyance of a bill within the bill conveying path, and bill discriminating magnetic head and photo sensors disposed in the bill conveying path, characterized by further including a tiltable lever having a pressing roller which is brought into pressure contact with the magnetic head by a biasing force of a spring, a latch gear integral with the driven pulley of the bill conveying mechanism, and a rocking lever which is normally in pressure contact with the outer periphery of the latch gear and which, at the time of reverse rotation of the bill conveying mechanism, imparts a tilting action to the tiltable lever against the spring to let the pressing roller depart from the magnetic head.
