Abstract
Herein disclosed is a coin handling apparatus such as a coin packaging apparatus which is free from any trouble that would be caused when the power supply service is interrupted or when the power supply circuit is carelessly broken. The coin handling apparatus includes a rotary solenoid which can rotate back and forth at a predetermined angle thereby to control the opening and closing operations of the guide passage by a rotary pin. Further inclusive is a power source detecting circuit which is made operative to detect the existence of the power supply to the coin handling apparatus thereby to generate output signals respectively corresponding to the existence and nonexistence of the power supply. A drive circuit is further included and made responsive to the output signals of the power source detecting circuit thereby to drive the rotary solenoid so that the rotary pin may open the guide passage in response to the output signal corresponding to the existence of the power supply, until the number of the coins conveyed to a coin accumulating cylinder reaches a predetermined value, and may close the guide passage in response to the output signal corresponding to the nonexistence of the power supply.
