A coin-actuated machine including a plurality of dispensing modules dispenses one or more perforated strips of stamps from rolls, each module comprising a feed wheel having rows of evenly spaced projections for engaging the associated strip at the interstamp perforations and moving it past a solenoid-operated cutter, a shaded-pole electric motor for driving the feed wheel in a stepwise fashion through a Geneva cam mechanism and for intermittently operating a stepping switch and counter, a control circuit cooperating with the stepping switch for stopping the machine when a predetermined number of stamps has been dispensed, and a lock engaging the feed wheel either after each intermittent operation thereof or after each dispensing cycle.
