Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a coin verifier which comprises a support for supporting a coin during verification. The coin verifier is characterised in that the support comprises two shutters which are arranged opposite to each other. The shutters support the coin in a v-shaped manner when closed. The inventive coin verifier comprises a recess for retaining a coin during verification and is characterised in that the recess is terminated by two outlets. The outlets are closeable by the shutters for selectively dumping the coin through one of the two outlets. Further, a method for verifying a coin is disclosed which comprises the steps of maintaining/retaining the coin in a retainer equipped with sensors, verifying the coin by the sensors and selectively opening one of two shutters. The choice of the shutter which is opened depends on the result of the verification, in particular whether or not the coin is accepted.
