Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1003133A2] A method for calibrating coin acceptors for validation of coins includes: creation of a first memory database including reference values for identification of a predetermined set of existing coins, with said database associated to a first electronic coin acceptor, by introducing said set of coins into said first coin acceptor; introduction of a sample coin having predetermined identification parameters, into said first coin acceptor, so as to measure said parameters (X,Y,Z); creation of a universal reference database, obtained by a combination of said first database with said measured parameters (X,Y,Z); introduction of said sample coin into another coin acceptor and measuring sample coin identification parameters (X',Y',Z'); transfer of said universal reference database to said second coin acceptor and determining the difference of the parameters (X',Y',Z') with respect to the measured parameters (X,Y,Z); modification, according to said difference sign, of the values contained in said universal identification database, so as to adapt said second coin acceptor to identification of said set of coins.
