Abstract
A coin depositing and dispensing machine is provided where its transport mechanism is simplified and downsized while coins to be dispensed are subjected to the identifying action. A coin passageis provided in an annular form along which a single annular transporting beltremains supported for transporting the coins. An input feeding portion, denomination-specific accommodating and ejecting portions, a bulk escrow portionare disposed at the inner side of the coin passage. The coin passagehas a receiving and transporting zonefor receiving the coins released from the input feeding portion, the denomination-specific accommodating and ejecting portions, and the bulk escrow portionand a sorting and transporting zonefor sorting and delivering the coins to the input feeding portion, the denomination-specific accommodating and ejecting portions, and the bulk escrow portion. An identifying and transporting zonewhere an identifying portionis disposed is also provided between the receiving and transporting zoneand the sorting and transporting zone. The deposited coins and the dispensing coins can be transported by the single annular transporting belt. As the transport mechanism is arranged for common use between a depositing system and a dispensing system, its construction can thus be simplified and downsized.
