To surely return tokens exceeding a prescribed value in number even if a portion-out part is shortened.
With respect to tokens M rolling on a guide rail 19, true ones are separated from false ones by first and second pressing members 5 and 7 provided on a main plate 1 and by a cutout part 17 provided in a sorting plate 2. A false token of a diameter smaller than those of regular tokens is turned over to the inclined wall 20 side by the pressing members 5 and 7 when rolling on the guide rail 19, dropping into a false token return port 10. A shutter 12 with a token stopper standing in a side position of its end part is provided between the guide rail 19 and a token receiving port 9 of such a sorting part so that it can be taken into or out of a passage. When the number of received tokens exceeds a fixed value, the shutter 12 is opened, the token stopper is moved to the front of the receiving port 9, and the tokens are forcibly dropped into a regular token return port 11.
