The top end portion of the outer peripheral surface of a coin feeding roller protrudes in a stacking section as a rotating friction surface so as to correspond to the end portion of a coin passage. A plurality of coins are conveyed to the end portion of the coin passage in a row in a direction of diameter of the coins by means of a conveying mechanism. The rotating friction surface of the feeding roller rotates while contacting the lower surface of the conveyed coin, to cause the coin to get over the rotating friction surface from an upstream side to a downstream side of the friction surface with respect to the direction of rotation thereof. Thus, the roller displaces the trailing edge of the previously conveyed coin upwards so that the leading edge of a subsequently conveyed coin can enter between the previously conveyed coin and the friction surface. By repeating this operation, the conveyed coins are sequentially stacked in the stacking section. A distance between an axis of the feeding roller and a stop surface of a stopping member, to which a leading edge of the coin contacts, is adjustable in accordance with diameter of the coins.
