Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1233380A2] The coin return detection method compares at least one of several damping curves provided in an inductive measuring probe upon passage of a coin with a given threshold value and evaluates the relationship between at least 2 damping curves or damping curve characteristic values, for providing a coin return signal when the actual relationship differs from the expected relationship.
