A coin handling device (1) for guiding coins selectively along different paths according to denomination or type. The coin handling device comprises essentially a rectangular slab-like coin guiding element (5) pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis within a main body (4) and provided with actuating means (15, 18) operable to move the element (5) selectively into different working positions. In use, coins travelling downwardly through a vertical coin chute (23) will pass through a passage extending through the coin guiding element (5) when the element is in its central, upright position. In each of the other positions of the element (5), one or other of its rectangular faces (25) is positioned transversely in the path of coins from the vertical chute (23), so as to deflect and re-direct the coins along second or third paths. The coin handling device is capable of enabling coins to be guided along a selected path with the minimum height requirement and with only a single movable coin-guiding element (5).
