Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0219574A2] A method and apparatus for the identification of coins are described, in which a mechanical excitation is applied to the coin by means of an impact which produces an acoustical signal, that is collected by an electronic system transforming it into an electrical signal, that is amplified and filtered to be subsequently analysed according to the Fourier transform, for its identification and control, through a comparison with a standard of frequencies, togehter with the measurement of the diameter, said coin being accepted if there is an agreement between the frequencies of the acoustical signal and the standard of frequencies corresponding to the detected diameter, and discarded in the opposite case.
