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.

Provided is a coin delivery device including a disc including a concave portion that holds a plurality of coins in a storage container one by one. A first concave portion that holds at least coins having a diameter equal to or larger than a first diameter, and a second concave portion that holds coins having a diameter less than a second diameter are provided in the disc. The first concave portion does not perform holding of coins having a small diameter or delivery of the coins to the next step, and the second concave portion performs holding of coins having a small diameter or delivery of the coins to the next step. Since the first concave portion does not hold two coins, and two coins are not put into the second concave portion, coins can be appropriately sent out one by one to the next step.

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.

The present invention includes a coin sorting part in which a plurality of coin sorting holes are formed in a circumferential direction and a coin separation plate on which a coin guide portion for guiding the coins to the coin sorting part is formed, a bad coin discharge unit installed in the coin guide portion of the coin separation unit and configured to detect whether the coin moving to be sorted is a bad coin and sort the bad coin, a coin supply unit configured to supply the coins to be sorted and moved along the coin guide portion, and a coin transfer unit elastically pressed against the coin separation unit and configured to move the coin input from the coin supply unit to the coin guide portion and the coin sorting holes in a state in which the coins are pressed against the coin separation plate.

There is provided a coin diverter that allows increase in the number of coin diversion directions and reduction in the size of a coin handling apparatus. The coin diverter includes a diverter member that diverts a coin from a transport path and a driver that changes the state of the diverter member to any of a first state in which the diverter member leads the coin toward the downstream side of the transport path, a second state in which the diverter member leads the coin in a first direction in which the coin drops from the transport path, and a third state in which the diverter member leads the coin in a second direction different from the direction toward the downstream side of the transport path and the first direction.
