ABSTRACT:
A coin hopper is provided that can dispense coins of different diameters without any trouble. A rotating disk has coin stoppers that are upwardly inclined at a specified angle, and a circular supporting rack at the center of the upper surface thereof. The stoppers expand radially at regular intervals, from the supporting rack side to the circumferential direction. The rotating disk makes the coins contact a holding surface between the coin stoppers and receives the coins one by one, and supports them by the supporting rack and feeds them out. An outer covering unit covers at least the lower outer circumference of the rotating disk. A storing bowl stores coins in bulk following the outer covering unit. A coin receiving unit expands from the vicinity of the supporting rack to the circumferential direction of the rotating disk, wherein the coin stoppers are arranged in a state fixed to the rotating disk. The coin receiving unit is arranged so as to contact and get away from the holding surface of the rotating disk.
