A coin processing device includes: a passage (9a) along which a coin (C) is transferred from an upstream-end toward a downstream-end thereof; an opening (14a, 14b, and 14c) formed on the passage (9a); a gate (15a, 15b) including a guide section (32) that constitutes a part of the passage (9a) while the opening (14a, 14b. and 14c) is closed and has a stepped portion (35) formed at a portion of the guide section (32) which is closer to the downstream-end of the passage (9a), the gate (15a, 15b) being tilted so as to lift a portion thereof which is closer to the upstream-end of the passage (9a) in a state where the opening (14a, 14b, and 14c) is closed to open the opening (14a, 14b, and 14c); and a gate mechanism (12, 13a, and 13b) for causing the coin (C) to fall though the opening (14a, 14b, and 14c) by tilting the gate (15a, 15b). In this coin processing device, while the gate (15a, 15b) is open, the stepped portion (35) receives a portion of the coin (C) in the direction of the upstream.
