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.
