<p>A coin processing machine (10) for sorting or verifying coins includes a hopper (12) for receiving and discharging coins, a processing device (14) to one side of the hopper, a feed device (16) extending between the hopper and the processing device to drive coins discharged from the hopper to the processing device, and discharges coins through one or more coin tubes (310) . The feed device has a belt drive (58) that drives coins along a transfer plate (54) . The processing device has a processing plate (30) that defines a circular coin path, a wall (40) extending along the coin path, and a rotating drive disk (44) that drives coins along the coin path. The disk rotates concentrically with respect to the wall to reliably locate coins against the wall for sensing or processing and is mounted on a drive shaft by a nut (340) threaded on the shaft. A high-friction washer (342) is located between the nut and disk to resist loosening of the nut during machine operation. Each coin tube includes a coin bag support (312) with a non- flexible bracket (314) that presses the bag against the support .</p> |
