A coin dispenser for discharging coins stored in a bucket in an automatic vending machine, a money exchanging machine, a coin-operated amusement machine such as a slot machine and the like, comprising a bucket (12) having an opening at its bottom, a coin discharging rotary disk (24) disposed horizontally below the bucket (12), a guide wall (25) having a coin exit slit (26) which surrounds the coin discharging rotary disk (24) and a control member (35) which is disposed inside the bucket and above the opening. The rotary disk (24), when rotating, causes coins supplied thereon to slide outwardly with centrifugal force and moves the coins along the guide wall (25) to the exit slit (26) for discharging the coins therethrough. The control member (35) prevents the rotary disk (24) from being directly subject to the whole weight of the coins stored in the bucket, allowing the rotary disk to rotate at a high speed, so as to discharge the coins at a high coin discharge rate. |
