PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a coin hopper capable of delivering coins different in diameter one by one at high speed without damaging the coins.SOLUTION: Coins LC, SC in a holding chamber are agitated by the rotation of a sorting board 154A to make the coins drop into transparent holes 132A to 132C, and are piled up in face-contact manner on a coin holding board and held in a coin holding space. The coins LC, SC in the coin holding space are co-rotated with the rotation of the sorting board 154A, and pushed out to a circumferential passage extending in a circumferential direction of the sorting board 154A continuous with the coin holding space by a pushing body advancing into the coin holding space in a prescribed phase, and pushed against a receiving body arranged adjacent to the sorting board 154A by a pusher constituting an end part of the circumferential passage, and in this state, the pushing is delivered to a rotating pushing piece, and finally, the coins are pushed out by the pushing piece. |
