A communication hole 26b is provided that communicates the coin storage area 22b with the second gap 25b between the coin storage area 22b and the lower sorting hole 24c.

The third sorting hole 24c communicates with the coin storage area 22c.

The first sorting hole 24a is set to a diameter that allows even the largest diameter 500 yen coin to pass therethrough.

The second sorting hole 24b is set to have a diameter larger than the diameter of a 100 yen coin and smaller than the diameter of a 500 yen coin, for example. Further, the third sorting hole 24c is set to a diameter that allows only one yen coin to pass through.

Next, the operation of the coin sorting device 20 having the above structure will be explained.

For example, coins of 1 yen, 100 yen, and 500 yen are each inserted into the storage section 21d from the input slot 23, and the coin sorting tool 20 is held in the hand and shaken in an arc.

Then, each coin slides against the smooth inner surface in the 500 yen storage section 21d, and a 500 yen coin, for example, passes through the first sorting hole 24a and falls into the first gap 25a. Then, as the coin sorting device 20 vibrates, the 500 yen coin is sorted into the coin storage area 22a through the communication hole 26a.

In addition, in the case of a 100 yen coin, it passes through the first sorting hole 24g and the first gap 25a, and then passes through the second gap 25a.
Since the 100 yen coin is larger in diameter than the third sorting hole 24c, the 100 yen coin is sorted into the coin storage area 22b through the communication hole 26b.

Furthermore, in the case of a 1 yen coin, the first sorting hole 24a, the first gap 25a, the second sorting hole 211b, the second gap 2
5b, and further passes through the third sorting hole 24c and is sorted into the coin storage area 22c.
