Abstract (en)
[origin: DE10045052A1] The profile of a coin is recorded with the aid of a measuring equipment. The center of the coin is determined through data processing based on the profile and angular orientation of the coin. The profile is compared with the profile of a reference coin, the maximum similarity between the coins is specified and a signal indicating if the coin is acceptable or not is generated.
