ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an apparatus for separating one specified kind of coins from a plurality of coins including various kinds of coins. To this end, a coin sorting apparatus in accordance with the invention is characterized by a sort-out opening formed on a surface of a coin guideway downstream with respect to a coin identifying device; a rotor having an axis about which the rotor is rotatable, which rotor having a larger diameter portion having elevation equal to or slightly higher than the coin guideway and a smaller diameter portion having elevation lower than the coin guideway, the axis lying substantially beneath the center of the sort-out opening and under the coin guideway, the axis parallel to the coin guideway and normal to the coin feeding direction; and a controller for controlling the rotation of the rotor so that the larger diameter portion of the rotor aligns with the coin guideway when coins belonging to a first group are fed to the sort-out opening and the smaller diameter portion of the rotor forms a gap between the rotor and the coin guideway when coins belonging to a second group are fed to the sort-out opening.
