Abstract
Disclosed is a method and device for testing coins which are placed in a coin acceptor unit and which are displaced in front of an image sensor consisting of lines and columns, whereby said image sensor records an image of the coins that are to be tested. At least one of the front columns in the direction of movement of said coins and/or at least one line of the image sensor captures parameters, which in conjunction with the temporal detection information, are used to provide information on the movement of said coins. It is determined independently from said parameters when the coin will appear in a desired overlap area for recording, whereby the image sensor is shifted into an activation mode of the columns and lines of the overlap area and recording is triggered.
