A coin dispensing apparatus ( 100 ) has a cabinet ( 102 ) serving as an apparatus housing for said apparatus ( 100 ). The apparatus further has a controller and at least one dispenser for coins to be dispensed. The apparatus is adapted to dispense a specific composition of coins, under control by the controller, from said at least one dispenser ( 142 ) to a portable coin receptacle. A closeable dispense space ( 148 ) is arranged within said cabinet ( 100 ), and closeable dispense space ( 148 ) has an open state which permits reception of the portable coin receptacle to be filled, and a closed state which permits dispensing of said specific composition of coins from said at least one dispenser ( 142 ) into the portable coin receptacle while shielding said closeable dispense space ( 148 ) from external access during the dispensing.
