To provide a coin branching device capable of reducing the size of the device even if the number of branching directions of coins is increased.SOLUTION: The coin branching device includes: a branching member for branching coins from a conveying path; and a drive unit for changing the branching member into any state of a first state in which the coins are guided in the downstream direction of the conveying path, a second state in which the coins are guided in a first direction in which the coins are dropped from the conveying path, and a third state in which the coins are guided in the downstream direction of the conveying path and in a second direction different from the first direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11 【課題】硬貨の分岐方向を増やしても、装置の小型化を図ることができる硬貨分岐装置を提供する。【解決手段】硬貨分岐装置は、硬貨を搬送路から分岐させる分岐部材と、分岐部材を、硬貨を搬送路の下流方向へ誘導する第１の状態と、搬送路から硬貨を落下させる第１の方向に誘導する第２の状態と、搬送路の下流方向および第１の方向と異なる第２の方向に誘導する第３の状態と、のいずれかの状態に変化させる駆動部と、を備える。【選択図】図１１
