Provided is a coin storage cassette capable of preventing a coin payout failure without requiring a change in the structure of conventional coin handling apparatuses, even when an adapter tube for changing the apparent inner diameter of a coin tube is mounted.

1: An upper rear notch 61 is formed on the back face side of the adapter tube 6, projection-shaped attachment portions 64 are formed on opposing outside portions of the adapter tube 6, and groove-shaped attachment reception portions 32 are formed in the coin tube 21, each attachment portion 64 being engaged into a respective one of the attachment reception portions 32, and the attachment reception portions 32 restricting top-to-bottom and front-to-rear movement of the adapter tube 6; and the adapter tube 6 is detachable from the rear side of the coin storage cassette 1, while a cover 4 is widely opened. 2: The upper rear notch 61 is formed on the back face side of the adapter tube 6 so as to communicate with the upper edge, and a lower front notch 62 is formed on the front face side of the adapter tube 6 so as to communicate with the lower edge, so that the +coins are guided backward in the upper edge and guided forward in the lower edge.

A medication packaging device includes a frame structure on which a guide unit is removably fastened, the guide unit having multiple receptacle openings and a dispensing opening. The device also includes multiple storage and dispensing stations, each having a storage housing and a dispensing station having a medication dispensing channel, as well as a holding unit having a plurality of mounts. For each mount, a medication slide and a storage and dispensing station are arranged such that the receptacle openings of the medication slides are associated with the medication dispensing channels of the dispensing stations and the dispensing openings of the medication slides are associated with the receptacle openings of the guide unit. The holding unit and the frame structure are fastened on or in the device to be movable relative to one another so that the guide unit is accessible from outside the device when in an access position.
