An electronic equipment including a coin handling apparatus for handling coins inserted therein from a coin insertion slot, comprising:
- a protective cover having a plate-like shape for preventing infiltration of extraneous matters from the coin insertion slot;
- and
- a cutout part having a size that allows a predetermined number of plurality of coins to simultaneously pass therethrough,
- wherein a cutout part periphery section adjacent to the cutout part of the protective cover or a surface of the protective cover is formed to have a shape adapted to drain liquid falling on the protective cover so as to prevent liquid falling on the protective cover from flowing into the coin insertion slot, and
- the shape adapted to drain liquid falling on the protective cover is a shape in which a gutter for draining liquid to the outside of the protective cover is formed along an edge side of the cutout part periphery section at a position on the side opposite to the cutout part in the cutout part periphery section.
