The coin feeding device includes a stationary guide member (1) and a rotary feed disc opposed to the guide member. The feed disc includes a rotating axis inclined relative to a horizontal plane, and a planar upper face. The guide member (1) has a bottom face (1b) opposed to the upper face of the feed disc, and a coin inlet opening (1a) formed centrally in the guide member. Formed on the bottom face are a coin entrance (11) facing a lower section of the inlet opening (1a) and a coin guide passageway (10) that selectively guides coins introduced from the inlet opening (1a) through the coin entrance and sliding against the bottom face (1b) of the guide member. The guide passageway (10) has an outlet (19a) thorough which the coins are fed one by one as the disc rotates. The coins that have been loaded into the inlet opening (1a) are introduced from the inlet (11) into a space between the guide member (1) and the rotary disc by means of gravitational force.
