COIN-PROCESSING MACHINE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a coin-processing machine which can be made compact as a whole and needs to store coins in circulating boxes into a storage box, as needed. SOLUTION: The coin-processing machine comprises the storage box 12 which is attachable to a loading section exposed to the outside of its processing machine body 11, and protrudes from the processing machine main body 11 in a loading state and stores coins from circulating boxes 46a to 46f; a determining means of determining whether the numbers of coins stored in the circulating boxes 46a to 46f reach a predetermined number; a detecting means of detecting whether the storage box 12 is loaded in the loading section; and a control means of performing storage processing for moving the coins stored in the circulating boxes 46a to 46f into the storage box 12, when the determining means decides that the numbers of coins stored in the circulating boxes 46a to 46f reach the predetermined number and the detecting means detects the storage box 12 being loaded in the loading section during reception of coins.
