Claim:
1. A coin dispensing device, comprising: a plurality of coin tubes, each of which stores coins; a bottom plate arranged below a plurality of the coin tubes; a coin withdrawing and discharging part configured to perform a withdrawing operation to withdraw the coin from a plurality of the coin tubes and a discharging operation to discharge the withdrawn coin from a position away from the bottom plate; change parts, each of which is provided to correspond to each coin tube, wherein each change part performs a switching operation to switch a change lever to a dispensing allowing position from a dispensing preventing position against a biasing force of a return spring by energizing a change lever solenoid and thereafter performs a return operation to return the change lever to the dispensing preventing position from the dispensing allowing position by the biasing force of the return spring with energizing of the change lever solenoid being stopped, and when the change lever is located at the dispensing preventing position, the change lever prevents the coin withdrawing and discharging part from performing the discharging operation, while when the change lever is located at the dispensing allowing position, the change lever allows the coin withdrawing and discharging part to perform the discharging operation; and a keeping means configured to keep a state of the change lever of each of the change parts, wherein the keeping means can be selectively switched between a standby mode in which the keeping means allows the change lever of the change part to perform the switching operation and the return operation and a return preventing mode in which the keeping means prevents the change lever of the change part from performing the return operation, wherein the coin withdrawing and discharging part is configured to perform the withdrawing operation and the discharging operation when the keeping means is switched to the return preventing mode and the energizing of the change lever solenoid is stopped.
