To provide a coin processing system and a coin processor capable of smoothly checking whether or not coins are placed in a placement area in an overlapping manner, and improving work efficiency by omitting unnecessary checking work.SOLUTION: A control unit 304 of an operation terminal 8 selectively performs, based on predetermined conditions, a first process that encourages an operator to check a coin placement state in a first placement area and a second placement area when a plurality of coins are determined to be overlapping in these placement areas based on an image captured by a camera 501, and a second process that allows the operator to select either to check the coin placement state in the first placement area and the second placement area or to continue the processing of the coins placed in these placement areas when the plurality of coins are determined to be overlapping in these placement areas.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 【課題】硬貨が重なり合って載置領域に載置されているか否かを円滑に確認できるとともに、不要な確認作業を省略して作業の効率化を図ることが可能な硬貨処理システムおよび硬貨処理装置を提供する。【解決手段】操作端末８の制御部３０４は、カメラ５０１の撮像画像に基づいて、第１載置領域および第２載置領域に複数の硬貨が重なり合っていると判定した場合に、これら載置領域に対する硬貨の載置状態の確認を操作者に促す第１処理と、撮像画像に基づいて、第１載置領域および第２載置領域に複数の硬貨が重なり合っていると判定した場合に、これら載置領域に対する硬貨の載置状態の確認と、これら載置領域に載置された硬貨の処理の続行との何れかを操作者に選択させる第２処理とを、所定の条件に基づいて選択的に実行する。【選択図】図８
