A coin loader for coin handling or processing machines includes a caster mounted coin bin which has a vertical run of a flexible conveyor belt operating in one side of the bin. A plurality of spaced flights are attached to the conveyor belt with each flight having a ledge portions with a scalloped edge and projecting outwardly from the belt a distance greater than half the diameter of the largest coin to be handled. A comb forms the bottom of the bin and has surfaces which complement the scalloped edges so that coins cannot slip out the bottom of the bin. Coins are lifted from the bin on the flights to a horizontal run of the conveyor belt which leads to a coin discharge point.
