A dispensing mechanism, preferably for handling coins or tokens for amusement or gaming machines comprising a selectably drivable endless loop conveyor whose path of travel includes a bight. A store for the article to be dispensed feeds said articles either onto the interior of the conveyor or the exterior thereof. The conveyor is preferably formed from a plurality of hingedly connected segments, each of which has a pick-up lip thereon provided with an upstanding stirrer. The conveyor forms part of the bottom of the store so that any supply of articles to be dispensed which are held therein are stirred as the conveyor travels through the bight, the conveyor entraining an article and dispensing it to an exit located above the bight. |
