An apparatus 30 used for separating a single coin from a plurality of coins, comprising a rotatable coin disk 31, with at least one coin-retaining aperture (4), configured to transport coins along a dispensing path, from a coin source to an outlet aperture. The coin outlet aperture is closed by a double outlet gate, comprising adjacent first and second gate members 32. The first gate member 33 is a biased moveable coin stripping element with a slanted coin cooperating surface 33 and the second 34 is a fixed barrier with an aperture section 37. The first gate member prevents a stack of two overlaying coins from passing through the outlet aperture. When a stack of coins meet the member they push it upwards, the slanted surface separating them as a single coin passes under the gap. The coin then continues through the aperture in the fixed barrier which acts as a second gate member. The apparatus further comprises a spring biased deflecting member (3), arranged to urge coins on the coin disk towards the outlet aperture. |
