Abstract (en)

A coin selecting apparatus allows the selection of coins having both strong and weak magnetism, or no magnetism. A first magnet 4 is provided at the entry end of a coin guide path 3. This first magnet has a weak attractive force, but it is sufficient to attract ferrous counterfeit coins. A second magnet 6 having a strong attractive force is disposed in a direction downward and to the right of the first magnet. This magnet absorbs weakly magnetic or paramagnetic coins. 100 yen coins made of non-magnetic materials continue to roll in the direction downward and to the right without being attracted onto the first or second magnets. <IMAGE>
