Abstract

A coin sorter sorts coins of at least a first and second denomination according to their denominations. The first coin denomination defines coins which are thicker and wider than the coins of the second denomination. The coin sorter includes a rotatably mounted coin carrying disk having a resilient surface onto which coins may be fed, a motor for rotating the coin carrying disk, and a guideplate having a central opening in a configured surface positioned closely adjacent to the disk and over the resilient surface. The configured surface includes a channel area, responsive to outwardly moving coins, having a width wider than the width of the coins of the first denomination and depth and opposing walls arranged and constructed such that nonstacked coins of the first and second denominations are respectively guided along and converged from the opposing walls into a single file stream to a common radial location.
