The present invention relates to a coin lift for transporting coins and/or coin-like objects. The proposed coin lift has an endless conveyor loop for transporting coins and/or coin-like objects from a first position to a second position higher than the first position, wherein the conveyor loop extends in an ascending direction in a first section and in a descending direction in a second section. Due to a common arrangement of the first and second sections in a housing portion exchangeably arranged between two further housing portions, the coin lift has a compact design and is easily adaptable in its overall height and thus in the height difference which the coins and/or coin-like objects can overcome. At the same time, a reliable transport of the coins and/or coin-like objects is ensured, in particular also with a vertically ascending course of the conveyor loop in the first section, by the arrangement of a press-on element for pressing the coins and/or coin-like objects transported by the conveyor loop onto the conveyor loop.

A coin storage device includes: storage compartments that store therein coins by denomination; and screw-type conveying members, installed for the respective storage compartments, each of the screw-type conveying members including a shaft having an elongated shape and having an outer circumferential surface provided with a blade portion that protrudes radially outwards in a spiraling shape, and conveying coins toward a front side by being rotated in one direction about a central axis of the shaft. Further, each of the screw-type conveying members includes an actuating portion to move center of gravity of coins accumulated on the actuating portion up and down periodically as the screw-type conveying member is rotated about the central axis of the shaft.

The present disclosure relates to a money exchange reservation method and, more specifically, to a money exchange reservation method enabling: a user to make a reservation for a money exchange through an application installed in a user terminal before visiting a visiting country, and then receive a foreign currency necessary in the visiting country through a money exchange kiosk provided in the visiting country, so as to provide a money exchange service, with money of the corresponding country, to the user visiting the corresponding country while the money exchange kiosk has only the foreign currency of the corresponding country, and thus costs and effort for managing and operating the money exchange kiosk can be reduced; and the user to easily receive the money exchange service through a desired money exchange kiosk at the necessary time after arriving at the visiting country, without the need to exchange foreign currencies in advance or move while in possession of the exchanged currency.

This coin processor includes a sorting portion sorting coins, a coin container containing coins, a first coin outlet employed at least for discharging coins for refund payment, a second coin outlet employed at least for discharging coins for change, and a control portion discharging coins of a prescribed type reaching at least a prescribed number substantially filling up the coin container from the coin container to one of the first coin outlet and the second coin outlet when the number of coins of the prescribed type contained in the coin container reaches at least the prescribed number.

A cover, of a cash inlet of a cash handling apparatus, comprises an upper surface and a base. The upper surface is shaped to have an opening for depositing cash into the cash inlet and to block intrusion of liquid from above into the cash inlet. The base includes a groove to receive the liquid that has been received on the upper surface and which has flowed along the upper surface. The upper surface has a slope upon which the liquid flows in a first direction, and the groove receives the liquid having flowed in the first direction along the slope, and the liquid is discharged in a second direction different from the first direction.

There is provided a coin handling apparatus capable of reducing the occurrence of failure caused by a foreign material. A coin handling apparatus includes a coin inlet unit into which coins are put, a coin receiving unit that receives the coins put into the coin inlet unit, a coin discharge unit to which the coins are discharged, and a foreign material discharge chute which is connected to the coin inlet unit and the coin discharge unit and along which a foreign material put into the coin inlet unit is discharged to the coin discharge unit.
