A money item conveyor 11 comprises a plurality of money item conveying members 10 configured to convey money items around a looped path. The plurality of conveying members each comprise first and second money item support surfaces 16A, 16B configured to simultaneously support a main face of a money item on the conveying member, the support faces being separated by an articulation region 15 to allow relative movement of the support surfaces. The first and second money item support surfaces 16A, 16B are preferably located on first and second sections 13, 14 of the conveying member 10. The first section 13 may have a money item conveying surface 17 upstanding from the first support surface 16A. The second support surface preferably has two non-coplanar surfaces 21, 22 separated by a step 20. The conveying members 10 are joined together by hinges 12. The money items are preferably coins or other disc-shaped tokens which are carried across coin supporting surfaces on two adjacent conveyor sections. The relative small size of the conveyor members and the articulation between the two supporting sections 13, 14 of the members means that the conveyor can be used in small loops. |
