Abstract
A coin packaging apparatus has a structure facilitating confirmation of the correction or incorrectness of packaging paper when the wrong packaging paper is set, and facilitates replacement of the packaging paper. A comparator compares the paper width value of the packaging paper detected by a paper width detecting device with a recommended paper width value at a predetermined timing before starting a coin packaging operation, to progress the operation under a judgement that the packaging paper is correct if the result of the comparison indicates that the calculated paper width value is within the predetermined allowable range for the recommended paper width value, and to display the incorrectness of the packaging paper and the recommended paper width value and have the packaging paper gripped by the paper supply/discharge device be discharged automatically or manually under a judgement that the packaging paper is wrong if the calculated paper width value is out of the predetermined allowable range for the recommended paper width value.
