PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high performance coin sorting method and identification device with compact, inexpensive and simple configuration. SOLUTION: The identification device is equipped with a coin passage through which the coin passes, a first coil arranged at one side part of the coin passage, a second coil which is electromagnetically coupled with and facing the first coil and arranged at the other side part of the coin passage, and an oscillation circuit for outputting a sinusoidal signal for exciting the first coil, and identifies the coin based on the signal outputted from the second coil. The first coil is excited by at least two frequencies in time division. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
