Abstract
A coin testing device includes one or more coin-receptive slots of specific depth, height and width for testing the flatness, thickness and diameter of like, "on-edge" coin-tokens which pass therethrough, and a rearwardly declining deck projecting from the slots for receiving and advancing acceptable coin-tokens, wherein a guide member is disposed upwardly from and substantially parallel to the deck for engaging the peripheral edge adjacent face of acceptable coin-tokens for testing the peripheral configuration thereof, wherein ultimately accepted coin-tokens are advanced across the deck and are guided by the guide member into coin-receptive discharge apertures which are disposed at substantially right angles to the slots.
