Abstract
An improved apparatus for transferring coins to a coin counting system, a coin selecting system or the like by way of a coin passage under centrifugal force caused by rotation of a rotary disc is disclosed. The improvement consists in that the rotary disc includes a first surface portion constituting an inside part thereof from which coins are displaced onto the coin passage one after another with a single line of arrangement maintained, a circular boundary wall defining the outer periphery of the first surface portion and having a height appreciably less than the thickness of the smallest coins to be transferred and a second surface portion extending outward of the circular boundary wall in the radial direction. A coin guiding member is disposed so as to allow the coins on the second surface portion to be displaced back onto the first surface portion while the rotary disc rotates.
