A coin identifying sensor and a coin identifying apparatus has coin detecting sections ( 25 X and 25 Z) that are formed by relatively disposing a group of coin identifying sensors ( 21 A, 21 B, 21 C and 21 D) with each group provided with three aligned and integrated coin sensors. Each, of the sensors has a core wound with a coil. The sensors are disposed in a coin path in a direction crossing a movement direction of a coin. The first and second coin detecting sections are sequentially disposed on a coin path ( 4 ) to determine whether a coin is real or not using detection data of diameter, material and thickness of the coin based upon detection outputs sequentially obtained from the coin detecting sections.
