Abstract
A coin-receiving device including a coins-lump insertion part and a coin-sending device. A foreign objects separator catches foreign objects among inserted things and removes the foreign objects from coin-passage. The inserted items received from the coins-lump insertion part reach the coin-sending device through the foreign objects separator. Any foreign objects other than coins among the inserted items are caught by the separator before being processed by the coin-sending device and are removed from the coin-passage, thus being prevented from going together with following coins to the coin-sending device, and reducing clogging on passages of the coin-sending device and breakage of specific mechanisms.
