Abstract
A coin handling apparatus for sorting and/or counting a plurality of coins (15a-h) has a circular sorting path with at least one off-sort station (6) and a rotatable carrier device (3) for transporting the coins along the circular sorting path. Furthermore, the apparatus has a first rotatable means (1) with a first surface and a second rotatable means (3) with a second surface. The first and second surfaces are arranged to rotate at essentially the same speed and to engage the coins (15a-h) therebetween, thereby transporting the coins along the circular sorting path.
