Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0680021A1] The coin handling machine has a base unit (10) on top of which are located a pair of cylindrical magazines (12,14) containing stacks of coins. The bottom coins in the stack are extracted by a moving a pin along a circular track (16) to push the coin clear. The determination of how many coins are in the magazine is provided by sensors (30,32) located under the stacks. The sensors can be inductive and provide an output proportional to applied load. <IMAGE>
