As many coins as possible are fed out and sent to the packaging unit 23 through the packaging transport passage 48, the packaging unit 23 creates the packaging coin A, and it is transported to the packaging coin dispensing unit 26 through the second transport path 28b. To do.

  At this time, when the withdrawal denomination includes both the denomination target denomination and the non-storage target denomination, the denomination of the detention object denomination by the first transport path 28a from the first packaging coin storage unit 24a. The withdrawal of the wrapping coin A and the withdrawal of the wrapping coin A of the de-wrapping target denomination by the second transport path 28b can be performed in parallel. In addition, when a denominated wrapping coin A among the denominations to be stored disappears in the first wrapping coin storage portion 24a and is in the second wrapping coin storage portion 24b, the second wrapping coin storage portion 24b. The wrapping coin A to be withdrawn from can be transported together in the second transport path 28b and can be withdrawn to the wrapping coin dispensing unit 26.

  Further, when the wrapping coin A is withdrawn, the withdrawal denomination is a denomination target. For example, the withdrawal of the wrapping coin A of the withdrawal type continues, and the wrapping coin storage unit 24 becomes empty. In the case, the packaging storage unit 18 for storing coins of the corresponding denomination (for 1-yen coins and 50-yen coins, the coins are drawn from the withdrawal storage unit 17 and moved to the packaging storage unit 18). The number of coins corresponding to the number of withdrawals is paid out, sent to the packaging unit 23 through the packaging transport passage 48, the packaging coin A is created by the packaging unit 23, and the packaging coin dispensing unit 26 is formed by the second transport path 28b. Transport and withdraw.

  Also at this time, the withdrawal of the wrapping coin A of the denomination to be stored by the first transport path 28a from the first wrapping coin storage section 24a and the wrapping coin A from the wrapping section 23 by the second transport path 28b. Withdrawal can be done in parallel.

  In addition, in the time zone when each process is not performed, the first wrapping coin storage unit 24a of a certain denomination is not full and there is a storage space for the wrapping coin A, and the wrapping coin A of that denomination is the second wrapping coin. When stored in the storage section 24b, the wrapping coin A stored in the second wrapping coin storage section 24b is moved to the first wrapping coin storage section 24a for storage. That is, the wrapping coin A is taken out from the second wrapping coin storage unit 24b of the corresponding denomination on the second transport path 28b, transported to the upper part and delivered to the delivery unit 28c, and the wrapping coin A is delivered to the first part by the delivery unit 28c. It conveys to the conveyance path 28a side, delivers to the 1st conveyance path 28a, and conveys and stores in the 1st packaging coin storage part 24a of a denomination by the 1st conveyance path 28a.

  Further, when the number of wrapping coins A stored in a wrapping coin storage unit 24 of a certain denomination decreases, if the wrapping coin A of the corresponding denomination is stored in the collective storage unit 27, the wrapping coins from the collective storage unit 27 A can be sent out and stored in the wrapping coin storage unit 24.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (a), when the shutter 73 of the collective storage unit 27 is closed, the wrapping coins A in the collective storage unit 27 are aligned in a line on the bottom surface 71 and to the delivery port 70. The first wrapping coin A that is drawn toward the outlet 70 is brought into contact with the shutter 73 and stopped. Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the actuating member 77 is lowered by a driving mechanism (not shown) and the shutter 73 is lowered and starts to be opened integrally, the stopper 74 is raised via the link 76 to be the first. It penetrates between the wrapping coin A and the second wrapping coin A, and the stopper 74 restricts the second and subsequent wrapping coins A from going to the outlet 70. When the shutter 73 is fully opened, the wrapping coin A rolls out and is sent out from the delivery port 70, and falls between the conveying belt 58 and the guide body 61 while pushing the switching plate 79 with the wrapping coin A to open, and the support portion. Supported on 60. At this time, the denomination of the wrapping coin A is determined by the denomination determining unit. The conveyor belt 58 rotates in a counterclockwise direction in FIG. 4 and conveys the wrapping coin A downward until it reaches the bottom of the conveyor belt 58, but when it reaches the bottom, it transports the wrapping coin A upward. It can be stored in the wrapping coin storage unit 24.

  And in the packaging coin processing apparatus 13 of this Embodiment, at the time of withdrawal of the wrapping coin A of the storage target denomination, the wrapping coin A is withdrawn from the wrapping coin storage unit 24, and the non-storage target money other than the storage target denomination When each type of wrapping coin A is withdrawn, the wrapping unit 23 creates the wrapping coin A of the non-storage type denomination and withdraws it, so the wrapping coin storage unit stores the wrapping coin A of the non-storage type The storage space can be effectively used according to the withdrawal frequency for each denomination of the wrapping coin A, for example, 24 can be eliminated and the storage space can be used as a storage space for the wrapping coin A of the denomination with high withdrawal frequency.

  In addition, since the first transport path 28a for the storage target denomination and the second transport path 28b for the non-storage target denomination are provided, the wrapping coin A of the storage target denomination and the wrapping coin of the non-storage target denomination You can withdraw A in parallel.

  Moreover, the wrapping coin A created by the packaging unit 23 can be conveyed to the collective storage unit 27 by the second conveyance path 28b, and the second conveyance path 28b can also be used.

  Further, the second transport path 28b can transport the wrapping coin A of the denomination to be stored and withdrawn from the second wrapping coin storage portion 24b, and can also serve as the second transport path 28b.

  In addition, since the wrapping coin A of the second wrapping coin storage unit 24b can be replenished by moving to the first wrapping coin storage unit 24a, there is less opportunity to withdraw the wrapping coin A from the second wrapping coin storage unit 24a. Then, the wrapping coin A of the denomination target denomination and the wrapping coin A of the non-depositing denomination can be withdrawn in parallel.

  Further, even when the wrapping coin A of the storage target denomination is not stored in the wrapping coin storage unit 24 when the wrapping coin A of the storage target denomination is withdrawn, the wrapping coin A of the storage target denomination is stored in the wrapping unit 23.
