FIG. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), when a small amount of coins c is placed on the placement seat 40 due to, for example, the bar B being separated, the elevating part 62 is not lowered. The state where the distance between the sensor 45 and the coin c is large is maintained. Therefore, when a small amount of coins c is placed on the placement seat 40 due to, for example, the metal bars B being scattered, even if this coin c is a placement object denomination, the placement object money It is not erroneously determined that the seed bar B is placed.

  In the first and second embodiments, when the control unit 50 indicates that the output value of the sensor 45 indicates that the distance from the accumulated coin C exceeds a predetermined value, the mounting seat unit 40 is made of a different amount of money. On the other hand, when it is determined that the seed bar B is placed, the output value of the sensor 45 indicates that the distance from the accumulated coin C is equal to or less than the predetermined value. An example has been described in which it is determined that a bar metal B of a denomination is placed or a bar B that cannot be determined to be a different denomination is placed. In place of this, when the difference between the output values of the sensors 45 of the two mounting seats 40 with the same mounting target denomination exceeds a predetermined value, the control unit 50 mounts these two locations. While it is determined that a different type of metal rod B is placed on either one of the seats 40 (one that can be determined that the distance between the sensor 45 and the accumulated coin C is large), the placement target denomination is the same. When the difference between the output values of the sensors 45 of the two placement seats 40 is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the placement object denominations of the metal bars B are placed on the two placement seats 40. Alternatively, it may be determined that a bar B that cannot be determined from a different denomination from the outer diameter is placed. If determined in this way, the influence of noise and the like can be easily eliminated.

  Further, in the first and second embodiments, the case where the sensor 45 is a magnetic sensor has been described as an example. However, depending on the distance from the stacked coin C of the bar metal B mounted on the mounting seat 40. As long as the output value changes, a reflective distance sensor or a pressure sensor may be provided on the mounting seat 40.

  Furthermore, in 1st, 2nd embodiment, the bar | burr B used as a master is prepared, and this master bar | burr B is made to mount on the mounting seat part 40 used as a mounting object denomination for every predetermined period. Then, a maintenance mode for detecting the output value of the sensor 45 and correcting the detection value of the sensor 45 using the output value as reference data may be executed.
