A first gate portion is defined by a separation roller, an arranging / conveying surface of an arranging / conveying belt, and a movable roller. The movable roller faces the underside of the arranging / conveying surface of the arranging / conveying belt. A second gate portion is defined by a coin passage upstream end roller, and the portion of a transfer belt wrapped around the coin passage upstream end roller. Coins are arranged in a single layer in single file by means of the first gate portion, as well as the second gate portion.
