ABSTRACT:
A coin sorter comprises a rotatable disc having a resilient surface for receiving mixed denomination coins and imparting rotational movement to the coins, and a drive motor for rotating the disc. A stationary guide plate having a contoured surface is spaced slightly away from and generally parallel to the resilient surface of said rotatable disc; the guide plate includes an area for queuing the coins on the disc into a single file of coins, and a guiding edge which engages selected edges of the coins in the single file and guides the coins along a prescribed path where the positions of the engaged edges of the coins are determined by the diameters of the respective coins. A sorting area discriminates among coins of different denominations and selects coins of different denominations for discharge from the rotating disc at different locations around the periphery of the guide plate. The sorting area includes at least two different selectors for a prescribed coin denomination for discharging coins of that prescribed denomination at two different locations around the periphery of the guide plate. A controllably atuatable shunt is associated with the first of the two different selectors for shunting coins of the prescribed denomination past the first of the two different selectors to the second of the two different selectors so that the coins are discharged at the second of the two different locations.
