To provide a coin stocker from which coins can be easily taken out as they keep standing vertically when the coins are taken out from coin holding holes in a coin holding plate.

The coin stocker has a coin holding plate 3 which has coin holding holes 7 having a diameter equal to that of a coin P so that the coins P can be fitted and held with a side face and a storage section which contains the coin holding plate 3 so that it can be put in and taken out freely, then, an opening part 9 is formed by cutting an arc part 7a which meets outline of the hole on the bottom plate of the coin holding hole 7 and a linear bowstring-like part 7b from both the sides of the arc part 7a so that the coins P can be taken out as they keep standing vertically by pressing down the part surrounding the coin P fitted/held in the coin holding holes 7 with the fingertip, and a coin eject mechanism Q is made.
