Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0676729A1] A counting and sorting device has a turntable (1) that receives the coins in random order. The coins are fed from the turntable along a linear path by a belt feed (2) in a sequence. The coins pass through detectors and signals are generated (4). Foreign objects are identified and a pivot mounted actuator (6) push the coins clear. The remaining coins are received by a second turntable where they are separated (8i) e.g by size, and are deflected into specific outputs. <IMAGE>
