摘要

A coin handling apparatus (20, 50) having a coin discriminating means (21, 51) and a plurality of coin retaining means (22, 23, 24, 25, 52, 53, 54, 55) wherein at least one (25a, 29a, 55a, 59a) of coin outlets is disposed on the side surface (39, 69) of the coin discriminating means. Since the number of coin outlets being disposed on the bottom surface of the coin discriminating means (21, 51) is decreased, the width of the coin discriminating means can be decreased and the size of the means can be made small. The space defined by the decrease of the size can be utilized as a space for extending an auxiliary coin retaining means (26, 56), thereby increasing the capacity for change to be retained.
