Abstract
A coin dispensing apparatus is provided that has features to easily adjust the distance between the base plate and the rotating disk and to adapt to the thickness of the coins. The coin dispensing apparatus includes a disk () which separates coins one by one. A coin base () supports the coins which are moved by the disk. A body () includes the base and a step section () which provides different distances to the base to adapt to the thickness of the coins. A rotating shaft member () is selectively attached to the step section and can be adjusted to the body. The rotating shaft member for rotating the disk is selectively attached at the step section in stages. Therefore the distance between the disk and the base is adjusted to adapt the thickness of coin.
