A money handling apparatus configured to dispense money includes: a container removably mounted to the apparatus and configured to store money of a plurality of denominations; a plurality of storing units configured to store money to be dispensed, for each denomination; a memory configured to store information on a threshold of a money storage quantity wherein the threshold is set for each denomination; and a control unit configured to perform control to monitor storage quantities of money for each denomination stored in the storing units, and to perform a replenishment process if a denomination of which the storage quantity becomes less than the threshold is detected, wherein in the replenishment process, money is fed out from the container, and at least one storing unit corresponding to the detected denomination is replenished with the money of the detected denomination among the fed out money.

A coin input to a deposit opening is determined a denomination by a coin identifying device, and is allocated and held in a denomination storing and dispensing device in a course of being transported to a coin transporting and distributing device. The coin of a specified denomination is sent from the denomination storing and dispensing device based on a pay-out command, and paid out to a pay-out opening by a pay out transporting device. When the holding amount of the denomination storing and dispensing device becomes full, the coin is not allocated to the denomination storing and dispensing device by the coin transporting and distributing device, but is dropped to an overflow coin slot, guided to an overflow coin guiding tube juxtaposed to the denomination storing and dispensing device and held in an overflow coin storing unit arranged on the lower side of the denomination storing and dispensing device.

A coin processing device, comprising a coin processing module including an inlet for receiving coins to be processed and at least one coin output location, including an elongated sleeve for receiving the coins from the at least one outlet, wherein the elongated sleeve is operable to receive, in a first mode of operation of the coin processing device, a first flexible walled coin receptacle about the elongated sleeve, and wherein, in the first mode of operation, the coins are delivered by the elongated sleeve into the first flexible walled coin receptacle, and receive, in a second mode of operation of the coin processing device, a second coin receptacle within the elongated sleeve, wherein the second coin receptacle is a generally rigid container, and wherein, in the second mode of operation, the coins are delivered from the at least one outlet into the second coin receptacle positioned within the elongated sleeve.

A coin feeding apparatus comprising: a disk that includes a plurality of protrusions on a surface of the disk, is disposed to be inclined and rotatable, and, when rotating, causes a first coin or a second coin to be caught on and carried upward by the plurality of protrusions, the second coin having a diameter greater than that of the first coin; a cover that forms, between the cover and a surface of the disk, a space for storing a coin therein; and a separation unit that separates one coin out of two of the first coins from the plurality of protrusions so as to cause the one coin to fall into the space, the two first coins being caught on the plurality of protrusions side by side.

A coin handling apparatus includes: a first transport path configured to transport coins; a feeding unit configured to feed out the coins one by one to the first transport path; a recognition unit configured to recognize the coins fed out to the first transport path by the feeding unit; a storage unit arranged beneath the recognition unit, the storage unit being configured to receive the coins recognized by the recognition unit from the first transport path, and store the coins therein; and a cassette detachably mounted to the coin handling apparatus and arranged beneath the recognition unit and above the storage unit, the cassette being configured to receive the coins from the first transport path and store the coins therein.

A coin processing unit includes a control unit that causes a coin dispensing unit to dispense a prescribed number of coins in a plurality of times according to the total volume of the coins or the prescribed number of coins. Therefore, the coin processing unit is able to dispense a prescribed number of coins from the coin dispensing unit in a plurality of times according to the total volume of the coins or the prescribed number of coins. As a result, the coins dispensed from the coin dispensing unit to the coin transport unit are carried to an outlet port through the coin transport unit, without getting stuck in the coin transport unit, and are discharged to a coin receptacle.

A coin processing apparatus includes a coin cup in front of the apparatus, where an operator operates the apparatus, a coin reception device on the front side in the apparatus, and a coin dispensing device behind the coin reception device. The rolling speed of a coin carried to the coin cup is reduced by a coin deceleration part, which prevents the coin from falling from the coin cup.
