A coin handling apparatus ( 1 ) has a plurality of coin separating stations ( 113, 114 ) and a coin sensor ( 112 ) positioned along a circular transport path ( 111 ) defining a coin transport direction. Each coin separating station comprises a controllable member ( 115, 116 ) for separating coins (c<SUB>9</SUB>) individually off said circular transport path in response to at least one coin characteristic detected by said coin sensor. The coin separating stations include at least one station ( 113, 114 ) assigned for separation of valid coins, as indicated by said at least one coin characteristic. A deflector ( 119 ) is located at said circular transport path ( 111 ) and is adapted to deflect any non-separated valid coins (c<SUB>11</SUB>), that have passed all of said at least one station ( 113, 114 ) assigned for separation of valid coins without actually having been separated off said circular transport path, to an exterior end position ( 30 ) which is accessible to a user of said coin handling apparatus ( 1 ).
