  • Publication number: 20160307386
    Abstract: A coin processing device includes a coin discriminating unit, a coin distributing unit, plural coin tubes, and a coin delivering unit that delivers coins that have been housed in the coin tubes, by delivering operation of pulling out by a payout slide. For specific denominations, a two-coin delivering coin tube and one-coin delivering coin tubes are provided. In a normal state, the coin distributing unit distributes coins that have been inserted, to at least one of the coin tubes, the at least one having the coin housing number smaller, and the coin delivering unit delivers the coins to minimize the number of times of the delivering operation. In a change-shortage state, the coin distributing unit preferentially distributes the coins that have been inserted, to the one-coin delivering coin tubes, and the coin delivering unit performs delivery from only the two-coin delivering coin tube as much as possible.
