ABSTRACT:
A coin sorting system comprises a coin sorter for sorting a plurality of coins, an operator interface panel, and a control unit coupling the operator interface panel to the coin sorter. The coin sorter includes a coin-driving member having a resilient surface and a stationary coin-guiding member having a coin-guiding surface opposing the resilient surface of the coin-driving member. The coin-guiding surface is positioned generally parallel to the resilient surface. The resilient surface of the coin-driving member is constructed and arranged to move the coins along the coin-guiding surface of the coin-guiding member. The coin-guiding surface forms a plurality of exit stations for selectively allowing exiting of the coins based upon their respective diameters. The operator interface panel includes a display unit and a touch screen mounted over the display unit. The display unit includes a plurality of display fields for displaying keys, coin sorter status, and sorted coin total. The touch screen forms a plurality of switches positioned over respective ones of the displayed keys, and the control unit operably couples the switches to their respective displayed keys. The displayed keys include key legends indicating sorted coin information provided by the displayed keys. Actuating the switches causes the control unit to generate on the display unit the sorted coin information provided by the displayed keys associated with the respective switches.
