Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9409451A1] Coin transporting apparatus comprises an inclined surface (4) down which coins move in use; and at least one coin processing station (7) positioned adjacent the surface downstream of the coin discriminator. The station (1) includes a first sensor (8) for sensing the presence of a coin and arranged on or adjacent to the surface (4), and an ejector (10) for ejecting a coin from the surface (4), wherein the sensor (8) senses in use the presence of a coin to determine when a coin is adjacent to the ejector, and wherein the ejector (10) is then activated depending on the characteristic determined by the coin discriminator.
