If the sensor 100S detects the coin C of 100 yen, a current will be flown into the solenoid SL, the gate G will be operated, and the open-hole H will be opened (see Fig. 6). Thus, the 100 yen coin C will drop into the open-hole H by its own weight.
  • the conveyed coin C is for example a 100 yen coin
  • the sensor 100S will detect the coin C as a 100 yen coin (refer to Fig. 4). If the sensor 100S detects the coin C of 100 yen, a current will be flown into the solenoid SL, the gate G will be operated, and the open-hole H will be opened (see Fig. 6). Thus, the 100 yen coin C will drop into the open-hole
  • the base board 31 is also provided with an open-hole H corresponding to the open-hole H of the path board 33, and the 100 yen coin C which dropped through the holes, is contained in a hopper apparatus (not shown).

  • the distribution apparatus can be simplified extremely. Furthermore, according to this embodiment since the coin detector means and the opening and closing means for coin receiving open-hole are arranged at the undersurface of coin path, the height of entire apparatus can be made low. In other words, the distribution apparatus according to this embodiment can secure the height which can be easily housed under apparatusses, such as a money register. In addition, since this apparatus has a simple structure, it has the advantage that the maintenance becomes extremely simple and ist production costs are lowered. Furthermore, according to this embodiment the distribution of many types of money can be obtained, and there is a large effect that the distribution order of money types can be made as desired.
