To provide a game medium discrimination apparatus where consumption and deterioration of a part and an element for an information processing part which reads identification information recorded in a charged game medium are suppressed.

A token discrimination apparatus has: an information processing part for reading game-related information recorded in a token; a guide path 3a for guiding the token to the information processing part; a sorting mechanism 10 for sorting tokens of a prescribed standard to be held and the other tokens to pass through the guide path 3a based on the shapes of the tokens at the guide path 3a; and a distribution mechanism for distributing the tokens sorted by the sorting mechanism 10 to a prescribed discharge path or a prescribed processing path. Then, when the token of the prescribed standard is held by the sorting mechanism 10, the information processing part carries out reading of the game-related information of the token.
