<p>A coin handling apparatus 200 comprises a first elongate part 12 and a second elongate part 14 which parts are configured for relative sliding movement and define an elongate coin passage 52 therebetween. The parts 12, 14 are provided with projections 60, 96 which are disposed in the coin passage. The projections are cooperable such that, in use, reciprocal sliding movement of one of said parts relative to the other said part causes coins C1, C3 to be transferred along the coin passage in a stepwise manner from an inlet 54 into a first coin receiving compartment 110(1) and from the first compartment to a second compartment 110(2). The apparatus is designed to remove coins one at a time from the bottom of a stack in an inlet 54 of part 12. The extent of the deflection of a projection may be used to determine coin thickness.</p> |
