Coin packaging apparatus

A coin packaging apparatus comprising:

• a setting device that can be operated to set conditions of a coin packaging operation, the conditions including coin type and unit number of coins per package, and to receive a command to start the packaging operation;
• a memory which stores information including coin types, unit numbers of coins per package, and recommended paper width values of packaging paper;
• a coin stacking device which stacks coins of the type and unit number set by the setting device in the form of a rod;
• a paper supply/discharge device which is operable to supply packaging paper to be used for packaging the rod of coins stacked said coin stacking device and operable to discharges the packaging paper in a direction opposite from the direction for supplying the packaging paper;
• a coin packaging device which winds said packaging paper around the rod of coins stacked by said coin stacking device and folds and presses upper and lower ends of the packaging paper to package the rod of coins;
• a paper width detecting device which detects the paper width of the packaging paper of said paper supply/discharge device;
• a comparator which compares the value of the paper width of the packaging paper detected by said paper width detecting device with a predetermined allowable range for a recommended paper width value of packaging paper of the packaging paper suitable for a set coin type and unit number of coins per package;
• and
• a paper discharge control device operable to control said paper supply/discharge device to discharge the packaging paper when the said comparator determines that the paper width value of the packaging paper is outside of the predetermined allowable range for the recommended paper width value.

• a paper supply/discharge device which is operable to supply packaging paper to be used for packaging the rod of coins stacked said coin stacking device and operable to discharge the packaging paper in a direction opposite from the direction for supplying the packaging paper;
• a manually operated paper supply/discharge switch operable to control the execution of paper supply and paper discharge of said paper supply/discharge device;
• a coin packaging device which winds said packaging paper around the rod of coins stacked by said coin stacking device and folds and presses upper and lower ends of the packaging paper to package the rod of coins;
• a paper width detecting device which detects the paper width of the packaging paper of said paper supply/discharge device;

• and
• a paper supply/discharge switch control device operable to invalidate paper supply control by said paper supply/discharge switch and to permit only paper discharge control when said comparator determines that the paper width value of the packaging paper is outside of the predetermined allowable range for the recommended paper width value.
