Claim:
A coin dispenser comprising: a coin storing unit and a coin extractor, the extractor comprising a casing defining a cylindrical chamber with a side outlet for an exit for coins, wherein there is housed a rotary driving disc limiting the coin storing unit on one side and having a series of circumferentially distributed cavities, closed on a side opposite to that occupied by the coin storing unit by a supporting base, the coins are housed in said cavities, said cavities having in their wall and from an edge facing the supporting base, a notch demarcating, with said base, a path facing the side outlet of the cylindrical chamber, a stop opposite to a rotation direction of said disc protruding from the surface of the supporting base facing the driving disc, radially crossing a circular trajectory of the cavities of the driving disc and having a height equal to or less than the thickness of a coin with the least thickness handled by the dispenser, the stop being movable according to a circular trajectory concentric with the driving disc between an advanced position, in which the stop faces the side outlet of the cylindrical chamber, limiting the length of said outlet to a dimension less than a diameter of the coin with the smallest size handled by the dispenser, and a retracted position, in which the stop is located directly behind the side outlet according to the rotation direction of the driving disc, freeing said exit, the stop being constantly driven towards the advanced position by a spring, and wherein the driving disc has a retractable part for each cavity blocking the corresponding notch and a rear coin guiding wall located after the retractable part, which starts in a position tangent to said cavity and nuns with an arched route towards the periphery of the disc, with convexity directed towards the retractable part, said wall having a height at least equal to the thickness of the coin with the least thickness handled by the dispenser.
