Coins are counted by a count processing unit. A count abnormality in the count processing unit is detected by an abnormality detecting unit. In a case where a count abnormality is detected by the abnormality detecting unitduring count processing, when the normal counting mode is selected, a coin count value is cleared and a quantity error is prevented. In the case where a count abnormality is detected by the abnormality detecting unitduring count processing, when the continuous counting mode is selected, the coin count value is held, so that continuous processing is performed even if a count error occurs, so that the handling efficiency is improved.
