Abstract
A token and container dispensing device stores containers which can be dispensed to receive a predetermined number of tokens. A user can deposit a certain value and select the appropriate number of tokens. A token dispensing unit can dispense the tokens to a container located at a dispensing section. Both the location of the container and the number of tokens can be monitored and determined to thereby prevent any overflow of tokens. A control unit can automatically control the operation and position an appropriate container to receive a predetermined number of tokens. A second container can also be automatically dispensed if the desired tokens are greater than the storage capacity of the initial container.
