To provide a coin processor capable of selecting and excluding a deformed coin, on which protrusions are formed, with a simple configurations without using any expensive thickness sensor such as a laser reflection type sensor or an overcurrent type deformation sensor.
The coin processor is provided with: coin conveyance faces 30 and 31 for guiding coins to an almost horizontal direction in one layer and one column status; a coin conveying means 40 for conveying coins along the coin conveyance faces 30 and 31; and a detection sensor 32 for detecting the coins to be conveyed along the coin conveyance faces 30 and 31 by a coin conveying means 40. The coin conveyance faces 30 and 31 are respectively formed with recesses 30p and 31p configured to accept the protrusions of the deformed coins, and to guide the deformed coins, and extended to another direction which is different from one direction where any normal coin other than the deformed coins is conveyed by the coin conveyance means 40. A detection sensor 32 detects that the protrusions of the deformed coins are accepted by the recesses 30p and 31p, and that the deformed coins are conveyed to the other direction.
