ABSTRACT:
An endless belt conveyor is disposed between a coin receptacle and a hopper. Coins stored in the coin receptacle fall from an outlet at the lower portion of the coin receptacle and are supported and held on the endless belt. When the endless belt circulates, coins on the endless belt are transported toward the hopper and dropped into the bucket. The bucket is provided therein with a first sensor for detecting a lower limit of the number of coins and a second sensor for detecting an upper limit of the number of coins. In response to a signal from the first sensor, the endless belt circulates, and in response to a signal from the second sensor, the endless belt stops. The coin receptacle has a supply port for replenishment with coins. A protective cover is securely fixed to the supply port, the protective cover having a lattice pitch allowing a coin to pass but preventing a human hand from entering.
