The invention comprises: receiving means for enabling coins to access the coin container; identification means for determining the admissibility, type and value of the coins accessing the container; a store (3) for selectively storing and delivering the coins to be returned to a user, the store (3) comprising a plurality of tubes (39, 40, 43, 44), in rows (F1, F2) and columns (C1, C2, C3, C4); extraction means for selectively extracting the coins from the tubes (39, 40, 43, 44); and raising means for selectively raising any one of the tubes (39, 40, 43, 44) during coin extraction, for momentarily providing space such that each coin can be discharged without colliding with the adjacent tubes (39, 40, 43, 44). The invention makes better use of the space intended for the coin container, in particular the store (3). |
