To provide a simple and space-saving sorting mechanism instantaneously and securely sorting IC tags and coins inputted from a longwise common input opening, and guiding each to a predetermined processing location.

A longwise passage with the same width as the input opening 1 is provided in the rear of the longitudinal slit like fee common input opening 1 sufficient for inputting both of the coin like IC tag A and the coin B. A coin passage 2 of a downward slope with a relatively large gradient and a width capable of receiving only the coin B is formed in a width direction center part of a bottom face of the longwise passage. A slit like coin receiving opening 4 with a width allowing dropping of only the coin B is provided beyond the coin passage 2. Shoulders 3 of a downward slope with a lower gradient are formed on both sides of the coin passage 2, and in its extension, a coin like IC tag receiving part 5 is provided further beyond the slit like coin receiving opening 4.
