(54)	Reloading system in a coin return machine

(57) The invention is a coin replenishment system for a coin return device of the type mounted with specific containers foreseen in a number that can vary, in which coins are stored in a specific order inside each single container, conceived so that they contain exclusively coins of a single value, so that in a similar specific order they are distributed as change during a successive coin return stage. Such a system is characterised in that the replenishment operations for the containers are performed in an "assisted" manner, using two devices normally present in (vending) machines, such as a microcontroller that regulates the device operating functions and a reader system for cashless payment, or alternatively a programming keyboard.
