Abstract
A coin dispenser which includes a coin accommodating bucket having an opening formed at the bottom, a rotary disc disposed under the bucket so as to be rotated substantially horizontally for moving coins, which are supplied from the bucket through the opening, outside by a centrifugal force, a guide for receiving the fringes of the coins moved outside due to the rotation of the rotary disc and for inducing the coins to an outlet, a regulating board for receiving the coins in the bucket above the opening, and an elastic stirring member having a non-circular cross section which is rotated together with the rotary disc in the opening of the bottom of the bucket. The elastic member collides with the coins and flips them so that the coins are stirred, thus preventing the clogging of coins.
