Abstract
A coin handling apparatus having a coin discriminating mechanism and a plurality of coin retaining mechanisms wherein at least one of coin outlets is disposed on a side surface of the coin discriminating mechanism. Since the number of coin outlets disposed on the bottom surface of the coin discriminating mechanism is thereby decreased, the width of the coin discriminating mechanism can be decreased. Additionally, the space provided by the decrease of the size can be used as a space for extending an auxiliary coin retaining mechanism, thereby increasing the space in the apparatus for retained change.
