Abstract: A coin machine for sorting or verifying coins includes a hopper for receiving and discharging coins and at least two coin processing devices positioned around the hopper. The hopper discharges a separate stream of coins to each coin processing device so that the coin processing devices operate in parallel to sort or verify coins.

Abstract: A coin processing machine for sorting or verifying coins includes a hopper for receiving and discharging coins, a processing device to one side of the hopper, and a feed device extending between the hopper and the processing device to drive coins discharged from the hopper to the processing device. The feed device has a belt drive that drives coins along the transfer plate. The processing device has a processing plate that defines a circular coin path, a wall extending along the coin path, and a rotating drive disk that drives coins along the coin path. The disk rotates concentrically with respect to the wall to reliably locate coins against the wall for sensing or processing.

Abstract: A coin processing machine for sorting or verifying coins discharges coins through one or more coin tubes and includes a disk mounted on a drive shaft by a nut threaded on the shaft. Each coin tube includes a coin bag support with a non-flexible bracket that presses the bag against the support. A high-friction washer is located between the nut and disk to resist loosening of the nut during machine operation.

Abstract: An amusement device that is a game ticket in a lottery-type game is formed as a noisemaker that carries game indicia. The device includes a sealed envelope or bag having indicia for game play in the bag, preferably printed or attached to an inner surface of the bag. The envelope is rupturable to open the envelope for game play and generate a popping noise for amusement.
