A coin counting device comprising:
- a coin temporary reserve member having a chamber to contain a plurality of coins to temporarily reserve the coins therein in a standing condition, the coin temporary reserve member being able to move reciprocally and laterally between a temporary reserve position and a transfer position;
- and
- an engaging member which inhibits the coin temporary reserve member to move from the temporary reserve position to the transfer position when a number of the coins reserved in the temporary reserve member is smaller than a predetermined number, and which permits the temporary reserve member to move from the temporary reserve position to the transfer position when the number of coins reserved therein is equal to the predetermined number.
A coin counting device comprising:
- a coin temporary reserve member to temporarily reserve coins therein in a standing condition, the coin temporary reserve member being able to move reciprocally and laterally between a temporary reserve position at which one of the coins is put into the temporary reserve portion and a transfer position at which none of the coins are placed therein;
- and
- an engaging member which inhibits the coin temporary reserve member to move from the temporary reserve position to the transfer position when a number of the coins reserved in the temporary reserve member is smaller than a predetermined number, and which permits the temporary reserve member to move from the temporary reserve position to the transfer position when the number of the coins reserved therein is equal to the predetermined number,
- wherein the temporary reserving member comprises a scraper to remove the surplus coins from the temporary reserve member when the temporary reserve member is moved from the temporary reserve position to the transfer position.
