An apparatus for discrimination and conveyance of coins, comprising: a coin separation unit that is configured to separate coins which are stored in a coin storing unit from each other, thereby sending the separated coins in a predetermined attitude; a coin discrimination unit, mounted on a supporting member which comprises an opening, that is configured to discriminate a denomination of coins which are sent from the coin separation unit, thereby sending the discriminated coins; and a coin conveyance and distribution unit that is configured to distribute coins which are subjected to denomination discrimination in the coin discrimination unit according to respective denominations while conveying the coins, wherein coins separated in the coin separation unit are moved in a first direction in a plan view through a first delivering region and delivered to the coin discrimination unit; wherein the first delivering region is formed at a connecting part of the coin separation unit to the coin discrimination unit; coins whose denomination is discriminated in the coin discrimination unit are moved in a second direction which is approximately perpendicular to the first direction in a plan view through a second delivering region and delivered to the coin conveyance and distribution unit; wherein the second delivering region is formed at a connecting part of the coin discrimination unit and the coin conveyance and distribution unit; a moving direction of coins is changed from the first direction to the second direction through the opening in the second delivering region; and coins are subjected to distribution while being conveyed in the second direction in the coin conveyance and distribution unit, wherein the apparatus further comprises a direction changing member that is formed to change a moving direction of coins which are delivered from the coin discrimination unit through the opening; and a coin conveyance path, formed in the coin conveyance and distribution unit, that is configured to allow the delivered coins from the coin discrimination unit through the opening to move for distribution; wherein the direction changing member is disposed near an entrance of the coin conveyance path; the direction changing member is configured in such a way that the delivered coins from the coin discrimination unit through the opening are contacted with the direction changing member, thereby adjusting the moving direction of the delivered coins from the coin discrimination unit to the entrance of the coin conveyance path. a coin separation unit that is configured to separate coins which are stored in a coin storing unit from each other, thereby sending the separated coins in a predetermined attitude;
