Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2040226A2] The sorting device has path sections (52, 54) forming a flexible element (38) in paths within a central coin tube, which is aligned to an external coin tube. The paths form a passage downward to the central coin tube during non-actuation of the flexible element. Coins are guided to the external coin tube during actuation of the flexible element such that the coins are arranged in a vertical plane during passage through the sorting device. Another flexible element and the path sections are actuated by electromagnets.
