Abstract (en)

A coin identification unit (2) examines inserted coins and detects forged coins. A sorting unit (3) separates forged coins from genuine coins. A data production unit (7) generates a data packet corresponding to a coin insertion event, particularly the coin insertion time or the specific characteristics of the user for each time that a forged coin is detected. A memory (8) stores the data packets according to a specific order defined by the data packets. A temporary storage unit (5) stores and partitions the forged coins according to the data packets or the parameters of the data packets. An independent claim is also included for a forged coin recognition and classification method.
