Abstract
Mixed coins to be assorted and counted are transferred in one direction on an assorting and counting track by an assorting belt mechanism. The transferred coins are allowed to fall through various holes differing in width in accordance with the sizes of the coins. The holes are formed on the bottom face of the assorting and counting track. There are disposed for each assorting hole an inclined counting stand having a width slightly larger than the diameter of corresponding coins to be introduced into the assorting hole and having one end thereof inclined and a counting device for counting the number of the coins introduced into the inclined counting stand.
