The inspection system (1) comprises a case (100) for stacking and storing a plurality of game chips (C) and an inspection device (200) for inspecting gaming coins (C) housed in the case (100). The inspection device (200) comprises an RFID reader (221) for reading the RFID tag (503) of the gaming chips (C) housed in the case (100) and acquiring the first gaming chip information; an infrared camera (225) and a visible light camera (226) for optically reading the side surface of the gaming chips (C) housed in the case (100) to obtain second gaming chip information; a determination unit (231) that determines whether the gaming chips (C) passes or not for each case (100) based on the acquired first gaming chip information and the acquired second gaming chip information.

An inspection system inspects gaming chips each having a color or a display indicating a value on an outer surface in a state where the gaming chips are stored in a case in which a maximum number of gaming chips to be stored is limited, and a radio tag storing gaming chip information is embedded in each of the gaming chips. The gaming chips are stored in the case capable of containing a row of gaming chips stacked in a thickness direction, and the inspection system includes a reading device that reads the radio tag of the gaming chip in the case and acquires gaming chip information of the gaming chip and a determining unit that compares the gaming chip information with a maximum number of gaming chips storable in the case and determines an abnormality of the gaming chip in the case when the number of gaming chips obtained from the gaming chip information is different from a maximum number of storable gaming chips.

A coin handling apparatus comprises an inlet section that is provided on customer side of the coin handling apparatus and from which the coins are put in, a recognition unit that recognizes the coins put in from the inlet section, and a first ejection section that is provided on attendant side of the coin handling apparatus and to which the coins recognized as rejected coins by the recognition unit are ejected.

An image processing apparatus includes a conversion unit configured to convert an image in a first color space into an image in a second color space in such a manner that the image in the second color space has a bit depth smaller than a bit depth of the image in the first color space, a first recognition unit configured to perform first recognition processing using the image in the second color space, and a second recognition unit configured to perform second recognition processing on an image area that is determined to be the image area in which the second recognition processing is performed on the image in the first color space based on a result of the first recognition processing.

An inspection system inspects gaming chips each having a color or a display indicating a value on an outer surface in a state where the gaming chips are stored in a case in which a maximum number of gaming chips to be stored is limited, and a radio tag storing gaming chip information is embedded in each of the gaming chips. The gaming chips are stored in the case capable of containing a row of gaming chips stacked in a thickness direction, and the inspection system includes a reading device that reads the radio tag of the gaming chip in the case and acquires gaming chip information of the gaming chip and a determining unit that compares the gaming chip information with a maximum number of gaming chips storable in the case and determines an abnormality of the gaming chip in the case when the number of gaming chips obtained from the gaming chip information is different from a maximum number of storable gaming chips.

A coin feeding device (for example, feeding unit 20) includes: a disk 22 having a plurality of protrusions 22b at a surface, the disk 22 disposed so as to be rotatable in a tilted state and configured to catch coins by the protrusions 22b to move the coins upward while rotating; a cover 21 configured to form a space for storing a coin between the cover 21 and the surface of the disk 22; a guide 26 configured to guide a peripheral edge of a coin such that a part of the coin having been caught by each protrusion 22b and moved upward protrudes from the disk 22; and a taking-out unit (for example, taking-out mechanism 28) configured to grip only one coin protruding from the disk 22, remove the coin from the disk 22, and discharge the coin to outside of the disk 22.

Donation receiving apparatus has a denomination discriminator interfacing a storage area. The denomination discriminator has at least one sensor for sensing at least one physical characteristic of currency passing therethrough. A device controller interfaces a mobile communication device interface and the denomination discriminator. In use, the device controller establishes communication with the mobile communication device, detects a denomination using the at least one physical characteristic and transmits the denomination to the mobile communication device. The mobile communication device may execute an application controller which displays a graphical user interface on a digital display thereof which may display the denomination.

A money processing device includes at least one money container that contains money; a controller operable to control a process on the money container; and a storage. The storage stores a condition for deciding which of a plurality of check processes to be performed, wherein the plurality of check processes include: a quick check process in which the money in the at least one money container is not counted when an event in which an amount of money held in the at least one money container may become indefinite has not occurred; and a general check process in which the money in the at least one money container is counted regardless of the presence or absence of an occurrence of the event. The controller executes one of the quick check process and the general check process based on the condition stored in the storage.

A 3D imaging and image processing system is configured to collect and analyze data defining a predetermined set of physical and visual attributes of a collectible object. The collected 3D image information is stored in a database, which also contains a record of 3D image information associated with a defined gold-standard object of the same kind. The analysis is used to generate as an output an objective valuation of the collectible object based upon a comparison to the stored gold-standard image data. When used with collectible coins, the objective valuation is used in the assignment of a specific grade, using a well-known industry grading standard.
