Abstract: A device (10) for sorting coins (31) has at least first and second receiving containers (20) for receiving coins (31) and a separating unit (14). Further, a transport unit (18) for transporting coins (31) to the receiving containers (20) is provided and has a first transport section (52) arranged between the separating unit (16) and the first transport container (20). The transport unit (18) also has a second transport section (54) between the first receiving container (20) and the second receiving container (20). A first sensor (62) for detecting coins (31) is arranged in the first transport section (52) and a second sensor (64) for detecting coins (31) is arranged in the second transport section (54). A control unit (24) determines the number of coins (31) fed to the first receiving container (20) dependent on the information obtained from the first sensor (62) and from the second sensor (64).

Abstract: An embossing roller, including an inner hollow chamber, to which a vacuum can be applied, and a wall, which surrounds the hollow chamber and which has a structured surface, which includes elevations and recesses and which includes pores that communicate with the inner hollow chamber, wherein the wall includes a plurality of discrete and successive layers following one another from the hollow chamber in the direction of the surface and wherein the individual layers are based on epoxy-resin mixtures filled with fillers and comprise capillaries that communicate with each other and cavities for forming the pores.

Abstract: A self-service system (10) for depositing and dispensing coins (108, 116) with a device for the input (12) of coins (108, 116) and a device for the output (30) of coins (108, 116). Means are provided which provide the coins (108, 116) to be output from the stock (18a to 18d) of the deposited coins (108, 116) in the form of a packed coin pack comprising a large number of coins (108, 116).

Abstract: Device for receiving coins improved in such a way that large amounts of coins can be received as well as separated reliably and quickly and such that the adverse influence of foreign matters introduced along with the coins on the coin separating function and/or on the performance of the coin separating unit may be reduced. The device includes an aperture for charging coins, a unit for separating coins and a feed unit for feeding coins which is provided with a guide face giving support to the coins during the feeding process and which is an active type feeder having a feed module (5) that is operable with the aid of an actuator means to feed coins toward the coin separating unit and that is designed such that the coins are transported toward the coin separating unit along said guide face.

Abstract: In a method for the prevention of money laundering attacks at a payment device, a control means of a payment device determines a first amount to be paid in connection with a payment operation, a second amount is paid by a user at a paying means of the payment device by delivery of cash, and the control means detects the paid, second amount. It is provided that the control device evaluates the payable, first amount and/or the paid, second amount with reference to at least one monitoring criterion, infers a possible money laundering attack in dependence on the evaluation, and initiates a countermeasure. In this way, there is indicated a method for the prevention of money laundering attacks which in a simple, inexpensive way and, if possible, without any expensive constructional changes of payment devices provides for a prevention of money laundering attacks.

Abstract: A device for the delivery of coins from a coin dispensing station to a mobile supply device or from the mobile supply device to a coin receiving module. The coin reservoir of the mobile supply device is designed such that the coins collected in the coin reservoir are delivered in portions to the coin inlet of the coin receiving module, depending on a supply request. An inventory memory unit is assigned to a control unit. The particular advantage of the device consists in that only one mobile supply device is required for supplying and/or filling a number of coin receiving modules.

Abstract: A feed unit for filling a coin module with coins improved in such a way that a plurality of coin modules can be filled or loaded with just one feed unit. The coin feed unit is a coin drum which is rotatable inside a shell. A coin stock compartment is provided into which coins can be filled via a charge aperture. A dispensing compartment is provided inside the coin drum from which coins can be taken out via the discharge aperture. A passage is arranged in such a way that coins get from the stock compartment into the dispensing compartment as the coin drum rotates around a pivot pin.
