A coin stacking apparatus for a coin handling machine including a pair of stacking drums, outer peripheries thereof being formed with spiral guides which extend in the opposite directions to each other and in phase and a pulse motor for intermittently rotating the pair of stacking drums so that the spiral guides are intermittently lowered, the coin stacking apparatus being intended to enable the spiral guides to support and stack coins on an upper face thereof, the coin stacking apparatus further including a controller for outputting pulse signals to the pulse motor, thereby to drive it, a reference data memory for storing reference signals to be output from the controller to the pulse motor in accordance with coin denominations and a coin detector provided above the pair of stacking drums for detecting whether or not the coin is accommodated between the pair of stacking drums by detecting whether or not the coin contacts the coin detector, the controller outputting a correction pulse signal to the pulse motor thereby to drive it, when the controller judges based upon a detection signal detected by the coin detector after it outputs the reference pulse signal to the pulse motor that the coin has not been accommodated between the pair of stacking drums. This coin stacking apparatus can prevent coins from jamming therein.
