Abstract
Coins stored in a hopper (1) are delivered one by one towards an outlet of a hollow cylindrical case (3) on a base plate (2) by coin feeding arms (9) of a coin feeding disc (4) having coin receiving holes (8). The coin feeding disc (4) is rotated in the hollow cylindrical case (3). The coin is further delivered out of the hollow cylindrical case (3) by coin feeding wings (12) of a scraper (13) rotated on the base plate (2) outside of the hollow cylindrical case (3). An upright coin carrier duct (17) is disposed, with an opening at the lower end thereof, on the inclined base plate (2). A coin guide (21) is disposed along a coin transporting path (15) where a coin is delivered by the coin feeding wings (12) of the scraper (13). The coin engaged with the coin guide (21) is pushed towards the lower end port of the coin carrier duct (17 ) by a convex portion formed at the leading side of each of the coin feeding wings (12).
