A coin depositing and dispensing machine (100) comprises: a front face (102); a coin input unit (104); a coin processing unit (106); at least one container (110) for storing coins of a specific denomination; and a coin output unit (120), comprising a first element (122) and a second element (124) carrying the first element (122), wherein the first element (122) in a first position (122A) is arranged relative the at least one container (110) for receiving coins from the at least one container (110), wherein the first element (122) is displaceable relative the second element (124) from the first position (122A) towards the front face (102) to a second position (122B), and wherein the second element (124), when the first element (122) is in the second position (122B), is displaceable for carrying the first element (122) to an output position (122C), where the first element (122) at least partially protrudes from the front face (102).

According to one embodiment, a money processing device includes an input port for receiving money from a user and a discharge port for receiving money being returned or dispensed to the user. A controller is configured to selectively open and close storage covers based on a detected denomination of money to selectively store and reject deposited money. The controller also controls the dispensing of money from the storage units to the discharge port as change to the user. A return path connecting to the discharge port is provided to receive rejected money. A discharge sensor detects errors in the dispensing of money to the discharge port. A first informing unit indicates whether money is being discharged to the discharge port as rejected money or whether the discharge sensor has detected an error in the dispensing of money.

In one embodiment, a money dispensing device has a storage device, an attaching/detaching mechanism and a control device. The attaching/detaching mechanism detachably supports a storage bag. When the storage device to store money has overflowed, the money stored in the storage device is discharged to a storage bag. The control device outputs information indicating that the storage bag is not attached when the storage bag is not attached to the attaching/detaching mechanism.

A coin holding device includes a mechanism for treating coins fed in a plurality of feeding ports thereby supplying an article. The coin holding device capable of holding the fed coins, comprises a first opening in which some coins are fed, a second opening in which other coins are fed, a first path part through which coins fed in the first opening pass, a second path part through which coins fed in the second opening pass, a first holding unit capable of holding coins which pass through the first path part and a second holding unit capable of holding coins which pass through the path part, wherein the first path part and the second path port are arranged so as to face each other.

A coin payout apparatus 100 is provided. The coin payout apparatus 100 includes a coin canister 101. The coin canister 101 includes a tube 102 for storing coins. The coin canister 101 also includes a coin ejector 202 operable to eject a coin from the tube 102. The coin canister 101 further includes a hopping disc 318 operable to rotate and engage the coin ejector 202 to eject the coin from the tube 102 when the tube 102 is moved into position with the hopping disc 318.
