Abstract
A coin counting and sorting machine has a coin lifting device with an open bowl for receiving and forwarding an unsorted mass of coins, a sorting device for sorting coins being supplied thereto, and a coin transferring device for transferring the coins from the coin lifting device to the coin sorting device while establishing an order among the coins suitable for sorting and counting. The coin transferring device is provided with a first and a second element between which a transportation channel for the coins is disposed, wherein the first element is movable with respect to the second element so as to effect the transferring of the coins, and with a resilient device arranged with the transportation channel for pressing the coins against the first, movable element with a locally increased coin transferring speed as a result.
