Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0541842A1] Coins are checked by determining their mass. The coin is temporarily part of a mass/spring system, the oscillation characteristic of which depends on the mass of the coin. This fact can be used as a distinguishing criterion. A further weight-dependent check can be carried out in a simple fashion if a weighing table is arranged in the path of the coin in such a way that the said table is held by a system of springs, the deformation of which is independent of the position of the coin on the weighing table. <IMAGE>
