Patent ID: 7677381

Claim:
A value medium processing device comprising: a means for defining a coin and an IC coin common slot; a downward common path continuing from said common slot; a coin path, whereby a coin slotted into the coin slot is rolled along the coin path for discriminating a genuine/false status thereof; an IC coin path wherein a coin and an IC coin are guided to one of said coin path and said IC coin path after the coin and the IC coin are slotted into said common slot; a canceling means for canceling a coin in the coin path; an IC coin detecting means provided with said IC coin path; an IC coin guide rail comprising a linear projection, said linear projection extending diagonally downwards at a predetermined angle from a lower edge of said common slot, said IC coin path being formed above and on said integrated coin guide rail; an IC coin retaining means for retaining the IC coin on said IC coin guide rail; a guide rail located under and parallel to said integrated coin guide rail, said coin path being formed above and on said guide rail and said coin path extending in parallel with said IC coin path under said IC coin path, said coin path being narrower than said IC coin path, wherein an upper part of said coin path is in communication with said IC coin path; a deactivating means for deactivating the canceling means based on a detection by the IC coin detecting means, said canceling means comprising a cancel lever for canceling a coin or an IC coin and a cancel cover, said IC guide rail linearly projecting from said cancel cover, said cancel cover being pivoted away from a side of an upright base when said cancel lever is operated.
