ABSTRACT:
A disc-type coin sorter comprises a rotatable disc with a resilient top surface. A stationary sorting head forms a queuing region to align the outer edges of the coins at a desired common radius, and a plurality of exit channels receive the queued coins and guide coins of different diameters to different exit stations along the periphery of the sorting head. The lower surface of the sorting head is positioned parallel to the upper surface of the disc and spaced slightly therefrom, to press coins of all denominations downwardly into the resilient top surface at predetermined sections thereof. A pair of recycle channels recirculates coins in the queuing region if the outer edges of these coins are located inwardly of the desired common radius.
