However, in the above-mentioned prior art, there is no consideration for the timing of inserting coins, and a rotating disk driven by a motor is arranged at the bottom below the hopper where medals are inserted. If the rotating disk is started after coins are inserted, the starting torque of the motor tends to be insufficient and operation becomes impossible, resulting in malfunction or a motor having a sufficient starting torque increases the size. This hinders weight reduction and increases the cost.
