PURPOSE: To pay change smoothly by employing such constitution that payment is performed by neglecting a continuous payment preventing function by the instruction of an emergency button.

CONSTITUTION: A coin is detected by a detection switch 7, and it is counted by a counter circuit 35, and when a counted result shows four, the output of the coin is stopped by a taking out mechanism 33. The continuous-payment preventing function functions before a time-out signal is supplied from a timer 37 even when the detection signal from a detector 15 is supplied, and no payment operation of the coin is performed. In such a case, when the emergency button is depressed before the time-out signal is supplied from the timer 37, it is judged that an emergency request to pay the coin is issued, and a driving circuit 36 is driven, and the coin stocked on a door transiently is paied from a payment port. In other words, every four coins are paid corresponding to the detection of the detector 15 provided in the neighborhood of the payment port, however, the payment is performed by neglecting the continuous payment preventing function by the instruction of the emergency button 26.
