ABSTRACT:
Coin sorting apparatus is described in which coins are taken from a hopper and positioned one by one into corresponding recesses in the outer periphery of a rotary disc. The disc rotates the coins in a circular arc. As it passes along its arcuate trajectory, each coin is sensed for its denomination so that a count can be made and recorded. The coins are fed over a series of openings of progressively increasing sizes so that each coin will fall into the first opening that can accommodate it. Each opening leads to a chute for directing coins into a corresponding collecting bag. Each bag thus collects only coins of one particular denomination and the number of coins therein are recorded.
