Abstract
A coin processing device includes: a feed belt that normally rotates in contact with the upper side of a coin to convey the coin to a conveyance passage extending from an inlet-side passage portion to an outlet-side passage portion; a conveyance motor that normally rotates the feed belt during the normal rotation; a detection unit that detects the coin passing through a position determined in advance in the conveyance passage; and a control unit that switches the conveyance motor from a first rotation state where the conveyance motor normally rotates at a first rotation speed to a second rotation state where the conveyance motor normally rotates at a second rotation speed slower than the first rotation speed, in response to detection of the coin by the detection unit, and then rotates the conveyance motor.
