Abstract: A coin sorting apparatus which includes a plurality of nestling cup-like members dimensioned to be coextensively inserted in each other and thereby stacked, a group of apertures being located in the base portion of each of the plurality of nestling cup-like members, the groups of apertures being progressively graduated in size, the uppermost cup-like member having a group of apertures of the largest size located therein, the lowermost cup-like member having a group of apertures of the smallest size located therein, a housing having an open-ended chamber disposed therein, the housing for accepting the insertion of one of the nestling cup-like members, and electric motor operated semi-flexible cams for vibrating the plurality of nestling cup-like members when inserted in the open-ended chamber, the vibration of the plurality of nestling cup-like members permitting the selective passage of coins through the groups of apertures, the coins thereby being sorted.
