A coin processing apparatus houses received coins for each denomination of the coins and dispenses the housed coins in accordance with a coin output instruction. The coin processing apparatus includes: a conveyance unit that conveys the coins that are received and stored in an input section upwards one by one along a predetermined conveyance path, allows authenticity and a denomination of each coin to be checked by a checking section while the coin is conveyed, sorts the coins checked to be true coins by denomination, and dispenses the coin checked to be a false coin; and a coin output suspending unit that receives the coin dispensed from the conveyance unit, outputs the received coin from a dispensing outlet when a coin output command is given, and feeds the received coin to the input section when a feeding command is given.

A readily reconfigurable cash dispensing system for providing change, such as coins of different values and bills or currency of different denominations needed by a retail store, grocery store, busy convenience store, or the like. A tray or trays for storing and delivering multiple rolls of coins or bills of a first value, as well as, a tray or trays for storing and delivering stacks of bills are described herein. A bill acceptor may be employed to accept bills used to purchase rolls of coins and stacks of bills, and a system controller can sense restocking and dispensing events to maintain an accurate inventory of cash in the bill acceptor, as well as, the total cash stored in the form of coin rolls or rolls bills, as well as, bill stacks.

A coin processing apparatus determines an authenticity and a type of a received coin, holds a coin, which is determined to be an authentic coin, and then sorts and stores the coin for each type of coin and that further pays a stored coin in response to a coin drawing command. The coin processing apparatus includes a conveyor that conveys the coin. The conveyor includes a screw-type conveying member including a cylindrical shaft section, and a blade section provided on an outer circumference of the cylindrical shaft section in a helical fashion and protruding in a radial direction. The screw-type conveying member is rotated around a central axis of the shaft section so that a coin is conveyed.

An object deflector for installation within a storage apparatus. The object deflector includes an attachment portion for coupling the object deflector to the storage apparatus. The object deflector also includes a deflection ramp that is saddle shaped. The deflection ramp extends from the attachment portion. The deflection ramp is operable to receive an object entering the storage apparatus and direct the object to an interior portion of the storage apparatus.

A coin processing device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with: a conveyance unit that conveys coins along a conveyance path; a delivery unit that delivers the coins to the conveyance path; a return passage that is a part of the conveyance path, and that returns the conveyed coins to the delivery unit; and an openable/closable shutter that is provided in the return passage. The return passage and the shutter in the closed state constitute a storage part for storing the coins.

A coin storage device according to an aspect of the present disclosure comprises: a pair of side walls at least one of which is disposed in a tilted manner such that a distance between the side walls decreases as the side walls extends downward; and a transport mechanism disposed between the pair of side walls and configured to form a storage space configured to store a coin together with the pair of side walls. The transport mechanism comprises a first transport and a second transport, the first transport being disposed at a bottom portion of the storage space and configured to transport the coin toward a transport direction that is approximately horizontal and does not intersect the side wall, the second transport being configured to transport the coin substantially upward from the first transport.
