Abstract (en)
A coin processor in which part of a magnetic field generated by a first oscillation coil (10a-1) permeates through a coin passing along a coin passage (3) and then received by a second reception coil (10b-2), while other part of the magnetic field acts on the surface of the coin and then received by a first reception coil (10b-1) and, part of a magnetic field generated by a second oscillation coil (10a-2) permeates through the coin and then received by the first reception coil (10b-1), while other part of the magnetic field acts on the surface of the coin and then received by the second reception coil (10b-2). On the basis of an addition of outputs of the first and second reception coils, the coin passing along the coin passage (3) is discriminated. The coin processor comprises a coin discriminator/sorter section (100) for discriminating whether inserted coins are true or false and sorting the true coins in accordance with their coin types, a coin accumulator/dispenser section (200 integrally formed with the coin discriminator/sorter section (100) for accumulating the sorted coins and dispensing some of the accumulated coins for change, and a single controller (500) for controlling both of the sections (100) and (200). <IMAGE>
