ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a coin sorter apparatus for sorting a group of mixed coins by denomination and terminating the sorting process when a predetermined number of coins have been sorted. A stationary disk provides a means for guiding the outwardly radial movement of coins rotating on the surface of a rotating disk from a starting point at the center of the stationary disk to an exit at selected areas at the periphery of the stationary disk. The radial positions of the coins are controlled so as to cause the coins exiting at the selected areas to be sorted by coin denomination. Sensors located proximate to these selected areas count the number of coins exiting at each area. A recycling recess and bridge guide combination are responsive to a predetermined count of any of the sensors to redirect the outwardly radial movement of the coins to an inwardly radial movement which recycles coins to the center of the stationary disk in order to immediately terminate the sorting function in response to the detected predetermined number of sorted coins exiting from any of the selected areas.
