Abstract
A coin counting device has a base, a driving device, a rotating disk, a bearing ring, a coin container and a coin discharging device. The rotating disk is rotatably mounted on the base and is securely connected to a shaft of the driving device. The bearing ring is detachably attached to the rotating disk and has multiple rollers rotatably attached to the bearing ring. The coin container is securely attached to the base to contain coins. The coin discharging device is attached to the base and has a counter to count the amount of the coins. Accordingly, the bearing ring can be detached from the rotating disk when one of the rollers on the bearing ring is damaged. The structure of the rotating disk is simplified, and the cost for repair the counting device is lowered.
