To provide a token feeder which can support the tokens different in the diameter stably at the two points, left and right while enabling the supporting of the tokens at its upper part even the better for those easier to fall with a larger diameter.

Several pairs of token supporting linear protrusions 21, 22 and 23 directed parallel longitudinally are so formed as to be horizontally symmetric along the longitudinal center of the vertical plane. Among the several pairs of medal supporting linear protrusions 21, 22 and 23, the lowest token supporting linear protrusions 21 positioned in a pair at the lowest level are made the smallest in interval between them and then, the subsequent token supporting linear protrusions 22 positioned in a pair at the next level are made larger in the interval between them. In this manner, the medal supporting linear protrusions 21, 22 and 23 are so set as to be larger gradually in the interval between them as they are positioned higher.
