To provide a plasma treatment apparatus for sterilizing viruses attached to an object to be processed and a coin treatment apparatus.SOLUTION: A plasma sterilizing apparatus 20 for sterilizing notes B is provided with a plasma generating portion 40 for generating atmospheric pressure plasma, a plasma treatment chamber 30 through which the atmospheric pressure plasma is introduced, and the notes B are passed along a transfer direction D1, and a first support portion 51 and a second support portion 52 each supporting note B passing through the inside of plasma treatment chamber 30. A not-supported range A1 where the note B is not supported by the first support portion 51 and the non-supported range A2 where the note B is not supported by the second support portion 52 are provided on positions different in a width direction D2, all surface of the note B is treated during the note B passes through the plasma treatment chamber 30.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】被処理物に付着したウィルス等を殺菌するプラズマ処理装置及び貨幣処理装置を提供する。【解決手段】紙幣Ｂを殺菌処理するプラズマ殺菌装置２０は、大気圧プラズマを生成するプラズマ生成部４０と、大気圧プラズマが導入されるともに搬送方向Ｄ１に沿って紙幣Ｂを通過させるプラズマ処理室３０と、プラズマ処理室３０内を通過する紙幣Ｂをそれぞれ支持する第１の支持部５１及び第２の支持部５２と、を備えている。紙幣Ｂが第１の支持部５１に支持されない非支持範囲Ａ１と紙幣Ｂが第２の支持部５２に支持されない非支持範囲Ａ２とは、幅方向Ｄ２において異なる位置に設けられ、紙幣Ｂがプラズマ処理室３０を通過する間に紙幣Ｂの全面に及ぶように設定されている。【選択図】図２
