A hopper type coin dispensing device as shown in Japanese Patent No. 86 was used. This hopper-type coin dispensing device has a perforated disc with a plurality of round holes into which medals can be fitted, which is provided at the inner bottom of a hopper into which medals are inserted, and a vane-shaped disc that is rotated by a motor on the underside of the perforated disc. A rotor was provided, and the medals put into the hopper were configured to pass through a round hole and be dispensed from the rotor in the circumferential direction. There was a problem in that medals were likely to get caught in the payout opening, etc. Of course, countermeasures for this were also taken in the device described in the above-mentioned publication, but if a large number of medals are thrown into the hopper at once, the medals may still get caught due to the load, so this method is even more effective. countermeasures were requested.
