A coin processing apparatus includes: a slit provided on a downstream-side conveyance path or at an entry of the downstream-side conveyance path in a coin drawing section for a storage to pass a coin having a coin diameter equal to or less than a diameter of a target type of coin to be drawn; a coin bias mechanism configured to bias a conveyed coin; an outer diameter sensor configured to detect whether a coin passing through the downstream-side conveyance path has an outer diameter of a target type of coin to be drawn; a material sensor configured to detect material of a coin passing through the downstream-side conveyance path; and a hole sensor that detects presence or absence of a hole of a coin passing through the downstream-side conveyance path.

A bundle conveyance unit conveys a medium bundle created by a storage unit in a conveyance direction along a bundle conveyance path. Either the storage unit or the bundle conveyance unit includes a conveyance guide that is disposed at a connection location between the storage unit and the bundle conveyance unit, that forms a portion of the bundle conveyance path, and that transitions between a state communicating the bundle conveyance path with the inside of a reject storage box, and a state communicating the bundle conveyance path with the inside of a stacking section.

Chip sorting devices may include at least one chip collection tube having at least one of a chip stack alignment cup or a stabilizer positioned over the at least one chip collection tube.

One object is to increase a storage quantity of coins of a money handling apparatus based on the requirement of the shop. The money handling system (1) includes a banknote handling apparatus (22) that performs a banknote deposit process and a banknote dispensing process; a plurality of coin handling apparatuses (23) that perform a coin deposit process and a coin dispensing process; and a terminal apparatus (295) that receives an instruction to perform the coin deposit process or coin dispensing process and selects, based on a previously set setting, at least one coin handling apparatus (23) to perform an instructed process from among the plurality of coin handling apparatuses (23).

A coin processing apparatus houses received coins for each denomination of the coins and dispenses the housed coins in accordance with a coin output instruction. The coin processing apparatus includes: a conveyance unit that conveys the coins that are received and stored in an input section upwards one by one along a predetermined conveyance path, allows authenticity and a denomination of each coin to be checked by a checking section while the coin is conveyed, sorts the coins checked to be true coins by denomination, and dispenses the coin checked to be a false coin; and a coin output suspending unit that receives the coin dispensed from the conveyance unit, outputs the received coin from a dispensing outlet when a coin output command is given, and feeds the received coin to the input section when a feeding command is given.

Currency processing systems, coin processing machines, coin sorting and recycling assemblies, and methods of making and methods of using the same are presented herein. A currency processing system is disclosed which includes a housing with a coin input area for receiving coins and coin receptacles for stowing processed coins. A disk-type coin processing unit includes a rotatable disk for imparting motion to input coins, and a sorting head for separating and discharging coins from exit stations. An automated coin chute receives coins from one of the exit stations. The automated coin chute includes a movable diverter plate that selectively transitions between a first position, whereby coins received from the exit station of the disk-type coin processing unit are redirected through a coin-recycling output passage to a coin-recycling receptacle, and a second position, whereby coins received from the exit station are redirected through a coin-depositing output passage to a coin-depositing receptacle.

Provided is a collectable display device, including at least one display panel having at least one user accessible opening for housing and displaying at least one collectable object. The display panel is configured to be connected or connectable to at least one auxiliary panel having visual markings relating to at least one collectable. The collectable display device also includes an electronic solid-state flash memory data storage device that is non-detachably secured to the auxiliary panel, and the solid-state flash memory device is having sufficient storage capacity to record and store at least one digital picture image associated with at least one appearance characteristic of at least one collectable object. In operation, the solid-state flash memory device is readable by an electronic device physically and electronically connected to the solid-state flash memory device. In some embodiments, the collectable object is a coin, a stamp, or a sports card, or the like.

A device for holding coins, the device comprising a rectangular structure including: a first level including: eleven apertures including: four penny size apertures, four dime size apertures, a nickel size aperture, and two quarter size apertures arranged clockwise around the first level in the order of, from a top left corner: dime, nickel, dime, penny, quarter, dime, dime, quarter, and penny, with the third penny located between the first dime and fourth dime and the fourth penny located between the second dime and third dime; and a second level including: two apertures, surrounded by the apertures of the first level including: a penny located between the first and fourth dime and a penny located between the second and third dime; and a flange that partially overlaps one or more of the apertures of the first level and forms at least part of the fifth and sixth penny size apertures.

A coin-roll ejecting device (1) includes a storing unit (10) that stores therein a plurality of rolls of coins and having an ejecting mechanism (19) for ejecting the stored rolls of coins one by one; an ejected coin-roll detecting unit (84) that detects a roll of coins ejected from the storing unit (10) by the ejecting mechanism (19); and a controlling unit (70) that determines whether a roll of coins is present in the storing unit (10) based on a detection result of the roll of coins obtained by the ejected coin-roll detecting unit (84).

The invention relates to a device for determining the filling level of at least one coin tube that can be filled with coins, comprising at least one optical radiation transmitter that is arranged in a defined position relative to the at least one coin tube in such a way that optical radiation transmitted by the optical radiation transmitter impinges on coins filled into the at least one coin tube and is reflected by coins filled into the at least one coin tube, also comprising at least one optical radiation receiver that is arranged in a defined position relative to the at least one coin tube in such a way that optical radiation, which is transmitted by the at least one optical radiation transmitter and reflected by coins filled into the at least one coin tube, is received by the at least one optical radiation receiver as a measurement signal, and comprising a control and evaluation apparatus which is connected to the at least one optical radiation transmitter and the at least one optical radiation receiver, and which is designed to control the at least one optical radiation transmitter for the transmission of optical radiation and to determine the filling level of the at least one coin tube having coins, based on a time period between the transmission of optical radiation and the receiving of the corresponding measurement signal by the at least one optical receiver.
