Abstract:
1. A coin feeding device comprising: a transporting belt which transports coins that are not aligned; a separating roller which is opposed to the transporting belt via a clearance in which coins pass through in a single-layered state, the separating roller rotating in a direction opposite to the direction of coin transportation by the transporting belt, and restricts the coins fed by the transporting belt to be in a single-layered state; and a moving unit configured to hold the separating roller in a restricting position to restrict the clearance between the transporting belt and the separating roller, such that coins pass through the clearance in a single-layered state, wherein when the moving unit releases the holding state, the moving unit rotatably moves the separating roller to the downstream side of the coin transporting direction of the transporting belt around a pivot, which is located above the separating roller at a restricting position, and moves the separating roller to a withdrawn position to expand the clearance between the transporting belt and the separating roller.
