Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0710935A1] The checking of the validity of a coin, token or similar round object (M) has sensors (13) set into the side wall of a guide channel formed within a block (1). The block is set at an angle to the vertical such that the coin falls against the wall that houses the sensors. When dropped into the entrance section the coin contacts an angled surface (45) and then falls onto an energy absorbing pad (9) in the base. The side walls are formed with ridges such that the coin has only line contact and rolls easily.
