PURPOSE: To prevent the bridge phenomenon of a coin stacked in a cassette by dividing a supply belt into plural parts, and locating the divided supply belts in cascade giving speeds different each other.
CONSTITUTION: A first bridge prevention mechanism 41 consists of a bottom carrier belt 37 and an oblique carrier belt 38. The oblique carrier belt 38 is arranged in such a way that its upper terminal part is arranged at a state to confront with an output port 40 and its lower terminal part at an inclined state closely connected to the front terminal part of the bottom carrier belt 37, and a belt whose belt plane having a connecting projection 38a possible to raise up the coin one by one to an output port 40 side is used, and also, the carrying speed of the belt is set at speed ≥ three times that of the bottom carrier belt 37. Thereby, the coin to be placed and carried directly receives a dynamic displacement vibrating function from the belt plane due to the speed difference of both belts 37 and 38. In such a way, it is possible to prevent the bridge phenomenon of the coins relating with each other.
