ABSTRACT:
A coin-sorting system having a rotatable disc with a resilient surface for receiving coins of mixed denominations and imparting rotational movement to the coins; a drive for rotating the disc; and a stationary sorting head having a contoured surface spaced slightly away from and generally parallel to the resilient surface of the rotatable disc. The sorting head forms at least three discharge stations spaced along the periphery of the head for selectively discharging coins according to the radial locations of the inner edges of the coins; a queuing region for aligning the inner edges of all the coins at a common radius so that the outer edges of coins of different denominations are offset from each other, the common radius corresponding to the radial location of the inner edges of the coins that are discharged at the first discharge station; and an adjustable guide member for engaging the outer edges of coins of selected denominations and displacing those coins inwardly so that the inner edges of different denominations of the displaced coins correspond to the radial locations of the inner edges of the coins that are discharged at the second and third discharge stations. The adjustable guide member can be positioned to alter the selected denominations that are displaced inwardly to change the coin denominations that are discharged at the three discharge stations, whereby different combinations of coin denominations may be sorted and discharged at the three discharge stations.
