- step S809 when the variation of the 30 characteristic data is outside the specified value ( (NO in step S809), the processing procedure ends without permitting the acceptance of the metal coin (step 812).
- the number of characteristic data to be collected is not limited to 30, as in the first embodiment.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the table 13 storing the characteristic data corresponding to each denomination of coins and the metal coins, and information on the amount and the acceptance.
- the inserted coin is identified as a “10 yen coin”, and the acceptance of the “10 yen coin” is prohibited. Therefore, it is stored that the control unit 2 does not transmit the amount information to the control unit 11 of the vending machine.
- ⁇ characteristic data B '' is obtained, the inserted coin is identified as a ⁇ 50 yen coin '', and the control unit 2 transmits the amount information indicating ⁇ 50 yen '' to the control unit 11 of the vending machine.
- a plurality of "50 yen coins” are allowed to be accepted. The same applies to “100 yen coin” and “500 yen coin”.
- the control unit 2 sends the amount information indicating “10 yen” to the control unit 11 of the vending machine. Is transmitted and permission to accept a plurality of “metal coins” is stored. It is to be noted that the number of accepting “metal coins” is not limited to a plurality, as in the first embodiment.
- the coin metal processing apparatus 1 by operating an arbitrary setting switch, the coin metal processing apparatus 1 is shifted to the metal coin setting mode, and the acceptance of coins corresponding to the setting switch is prohibited. Although it is applied, even if the coin metal processing device 1 is shifted to the metal coin setting mode by operating an arbitrary setting switch, acceptance of the coin corresponding to the setting switch is not prohibited. As in the embodiment, a configuration may be applied in which coins are inserted after shifting to the metal coin setting mode, and acceptance of the inserted coins is prohibited.
- the operation to release the permission to accept a metal coin is to push down a return lever (not shown) or the like for a predetermined time after operating the setting unit to accept the metal coin. Is released, and when it is released, the inspection lamp etc. will flash a predetermined number of times
- the configuration applies, but need not be limited to that configuration.
- the amount of parking fee to be served is The set metal coin is handed over to the customer, and when the customer leaves the warehouse, the customer inserts the metal coin into the parking fee payment machine provided with the coin metal processing device according to the present invention, and the parking fee must be paid by the metal coin. This is the first use case in which coins are continuously inserted to pay a parking fee.
- a metal coin set for the amount of one drink is given to the customer, and the customer is designated by the campaign.
- This is the second example of using metal coins in vending machines to buy drinks.
- the vending machine that normally sells as usual may be set to allow the acceptance of metal coins only during the campaign period, so the present invention If the relevant coin metal processing equipment is provided, it is easy to set permission to accept metal coins immediately before the start of the campaign, and it is possible to set prohibition of acceptance of metal coins immediately after the end of the campaign. It will be easier.
- the metal coin set for the amount of the points at the time of purchase of the product is provided to the customer.
- the third usage example is that when a customer collects a predetermined number of metal coins, the metal coins are inserted into a prize exchange machine to exchange prizes and the like.
- the coin metal processing apparatus according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and the above-mentioned application examples showing the configuration of the coin metal processing apparatus used for the vending machine. Applicable to coin metal processing equipment used in machines, game machines, etc.
