ABSTRACT:
A coin sorter and counter includes a plurality of spaced apart sorting plates rotatably disposed within an annular drum inclined at a fixed angle with respect to the horizontal, each sorting plate including a plurality of openings therethrough configured to ratain coins of a particular size while passing all coins of a smaller size. An automatic coin feed mechanism for supplying coins to the sorting plates is energized and deenergized responsive to the level of coins on any of the plurality of plates, and an adaptive coin ejection mechanism removes sorted coins from the respective sorting plates one-by-one whereupon they are deposited into appropriate recepticles. The sorting plates and annular drum are cooperatively configured to accurately sort bent or otherwise damaged coins one-by-one without jamming. A sensor is provided adjacent the coin ejection mechanism to generate a signal each time a coin passes therethrough, the signals being detected and a count accumulated by a central processing unit.
