PURPOSE:To visually decide whether replenishment of medal is necessary or not from the surface side of the lending machine by providing a sensor for detecting the quantity of medals contained in a storage part on the medal storage part, and providing a display part for the medal quantity or a suitable display corresponding to the medal quantity on the surface side of the lending machine, based on an output of the sensor. CONSTITUTION:When a medal is thrown in through a piezoelectric sensor 8 between an internal container 7 and a bottom part side of a storage container 2, the internal container 7 inserted and provided on the inside of the container 2 outputs the quantity of the thrown-in medal by an electric signal corresponding to its total weight. A medal weight detecting part 9 calculates and detects weight of the medals in the container by the output of the sensor 8. A medal piece number arithmetic part 10 divides the weight detected by the weight detecting part 9 by weight per one piece of medal, and a storage medal display part 11 for calculating the number of pieces of medals displays a piece number output of the arithmetic part 10, and provided on a suitable part on the surface side of a lending machine. As long as medals exist in the storage container 2, the number of pieces is displayed on the display part 11, therefore, a state that the lending medals come to short can be known visually in advance. |
