The invention relates to a coin which comprises an imprint of the nominal value in the respective currency unit and the area of validity and optionally additional imprints and which is characterized in that the coin has a circular shape; the coin has regularly spaced imprints of graduation lines on both sides, the graduation lines together forming a scale for measuring angles and pointing from the edge in the direction of the origin of the angle scale; at least some of the graduation lines extend over at least the majority of the distance between the edge and the origin of the angle scale; and a corresponding scale designation is imprinted at least next to some of the graduation lines, the unit corresponding to the respective scale optionally also being specified. The invention also relates to the use of said coin for measuring angles and optionally also section lengths.

A currency receiving, accepting, capturing, validating and rejecting device, and more particularly, a currency device connected to a mobile communication device, includes a currency storage area and a denomination discriminator interfaced with the currency storage area, the denomination discriminator including at least one sensor for sensing at least one physical characteristic of currency passing therethrough for discriminating a currency denomination of the currency. A device controller interfaces with the mobile communication device and the denomination discriminator. In use, the device controller is configured to establish communication with the mobile communication device, detect the denomination using the at least one physical characteristic and transmit the denomination to the mobile communication device.

When the coin in the temporary storage device is checked, the staff can make the coin in the temporary storage device send to the coin outlet bin temporary storage through the coin outlet channel when on site, can make the coin in the temporary storage device send to the recycling box temporary storage through the coin outlet channel when not on site, and the machine is conveniently and efficiently cleaned.

The present invention describes a transportable automated device for the study and digitisation of coins. The device comprises a structure containing an automatic turning mechanism, an adaptable light source and an adjustable camera support. The automatic turning mechanism, controlled by servo motors, allows both sides of the coin to be photographed without manual intervention. The adaptable light provides three modes: axial, oblique and experimental, to adjust to the characteristics of each coin. The height-adjustable camera support ensures precise alignment with the luminaire. In addition, the device includes a light source for highlighting the edge of the coin, facilitating the study thereof. The compact design of the device facilitates transport. As a result, the invention provides a comprehensive solution for numismatic photography, improving image quality and process efficiency.

Provided is a coin processing device which includes a handling section for receiving coins or medals and sending them out one by one at intervals, and a sorting section for receiving the coins or medals one by one from the handling section, determining the type of the coin or medal while moving the coin or medal along an arc, and guiding the coin or medal to a path for each type.

Expanding the range of distinguishable currencies. [Solution] The acquisition unit acquires a currency image by capturing a picture of the currency. The first discrimination unit receives an input image of the currency and inputs the currency image into a first trained model that has been trained to output one or more candidate denominations of the currency shown in the image, thereby obtaining candidate denominations of the currency. The second discrimination unit uses a denomination discrimination algorithm for the candidate denomination among the denomination discrimination algorithms for each denomination to determine whether the candidate denomination matches the denomination of the currency.

An inspection system for inspecting a game token, includes: a game token comprising: an RFID tag having a first ID recorded thereon; and a second ID indicated by laser irradiation, wherein the second ID is indicated by changing an irradiated portion by laser irradiation to change light reflection or absorption characteristics of the irradiated portion.

To accurately capture an image of front and back surfaces and an edge of a coin including a ruggedness pattern, a phase and so forth of an outer peripheral surface of the edge of the coin to improve inspection accuracy.SOLUTION: In a coin visual inspection device that inspects the appearance of a coin on the basis of captured images of a first surface camera and a second surface camera, a first surface illumination part includes an epi-illumination illumination part 113 and a diffusion illumination part 112 that illuminate a first surface of a coin C0, and an oblique illumination part 111 that illuminates a flat part pattern and an edge CX of the first surface, and a second surface illumination part includes an epi-illumination illumination part 123 and a diffusion illumination part 122 that illuminate a second surface of the coin C0, and an oblique illumination part 121 that illuminates a flat part pattern and an edge CX of the second surface. When the first surface camera 115 captures an image of the first surface of the coin C0, the first surface camera 115 receives regular reflection light of illumination light to the edge CX by the oblique illumination part 121. When the second surface camera 125 captures an image of the second surface of the coin C0, the second surface camera 125 receives regular reflection light of illumination light to the edge CX by the oblique illumination part 111.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

This invention provides a currency processing system that simplifies the process of adjusting the threshold value of the identification unit for each region in order to improve the acceptance rate of inserted currency in multiple vending machines installed in each region. [Solution] This currency processing system 100 comprises multiple vending machines 10 installed in each region, and a management server 20 connected to each of the vending machines 10. The vending machine 10 includes a banknote processing unit 1 and a coin processing unit 2, each having identification units 1b and 2b for identifying currency. The management server 20 adjusts the thresholds of the multiple identification units 1b and 2b in each region based on currency identification information that identifies genuine and counterfeit currency in the vending machines 10 in each region. The banknote processing unit 1 and the coin processing unit 2 identify the inserted currency based on the thresholds adjusted for each region.

Provided is a coin processing device which includes a handling section for receiving coins or medals and sending them out one by one, a sorting section for receiving the coins or medals one by one from the handling section, determining the type of the coin or medal while moving the coin or medal along an arc, and guiding the coin or medal to a path for each type, a common motor for providing driving force to the handling section and the sorting section, and a computer for controlling the motor. The computer causes the motor to rotate in the reverse direction when the sorting section has rotated a first predetermined amount while the handling section is stopped rotating.

Provided is a coin processing device which includes a handling section for receiving coins or medals and sending them out one by one at intervals. The handling section includes a rotating member in which a plurality of spaced holes is formed, into which at least one coin or medal is set, a convex section disposed below the rotating member for guiding the coin or medal to an outlet of the handling section, and a shutter biased in a direction for closing the outlet and pushed aside by the coin or medal guided by the convex section.
