ABSTRACT:
A coin discrimination apparatus has: detecting circuitry for detecting as an electrical signal a physical characteristic of a coin; an analog-to-digital converter for converting an output of the detecting circuitry to a digital signal; and a memory device for receiving as an address signal the digital signal generated from the analog-to-digital converter and for storing a binary signal of a plurality of bits for discriminating the physical characteristic in bit positions corresponding to a denomination of the coin at each address for each of the physical characteristics. The memory device is accessed by the digital signal from the analog-to-digital converter as a read signal and allows readout of the accessed content as a signal representing authenticity of the coin.
