Abstract: A device for sorting and separating coins has a track with an increasing width between the feed point for the coins and the exit point for the coins.
Abstract: A machine for handling pieces of money or similar articles has a fixed wall n which the pieces roll and the wall is extended by a rolling band extending over the circular path followed by the pieces to reduce the effective width of the path so that only a single piece can be supported by the path and other non-supported pieces fall by their weight into a central zone. The machine efficiently separates pieces the smallest of which have a diameter equal to one-half the diameter of the largest pieces.
