Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1096432A2] Optical devices have a light source (6) and light-sensitive sensor devices (7) set opposite a coin's (1) main surface to convert contact light into electrical signals. The sensor devices are designed as a CCD element. The light source has an emitting source (8) and optical elements to create a parallel bundle of light rays orthogonal to a coin's main surface.
