Abstract
A coin depositing and dispensing machine having an accommodating and dispensing portion enabling coins to enter/exit a transporting unit, and the transporting unit can be used for both a depositing and a dispensing system. This enables the coin dispensing port, collection coin dispensing port and replenishment coin input slots to be flexibly arranged in a front face, rear face, and upper face or rear face, of a machine body respectively. Coins to be dispensed and coins to be collected can be dispensed from the collection coin dispensing port in the rear face of the machine body. Additionally, coins for replenishment are put into the replenishment coin input slot, and the accommodating and dispensing portion can be directly replenished with coins through a replenishment chute portion.
