Abstract
In a case where a succeeding coin has arrived at a coin discriminator (110) before a preceding coin passed through the coin discriminator (110) arrives at a disposition position of a true/false coin distributor (120), the true/false coin distributor (120) is shifted to a false coin side to distribute both of the preceding and succeeding coins to the false coin side. When the preceding coin passed through the coin discriminator (110) is true one and if the succeeding coin has already arrived at the coin discriminator (110) immediately after passage of the preceding coin through the true/false coin distributor (120), the true/false coin distributor (120) is shifted to the false coin side to distribute only the succeeding coin to the false coin side. When the preceding coin passed through the coin discriminator (110) is false one and if the succeeding coin has arrived at the coin discriminator (110) before the preceding coin passes through the true/false coin distributor (120), the true/false coin distributor (120) is shifted to the false coin side to distribute the succeeding coin to the false coin side.
