A coin queuing device for receiving coins of the same or mixed denominations and delivering the coins to a fixed feed station in single file, in a single layer, and with one edge of each coin positioned at a common reference location. The device comprises a rotatable disc (11) with a resilient upper surface (13), a drive means (12) for rotating the rotatable disc coin feed means for feeding coins to the resilient upper surface of the rotatable disc, a coin containment wall extending around the outer periphery of the disc to prevent coins from flying off the disc when the disc is rotated, and a stationary head (15) positioned over a portion of the rotatable disc for engaging the upper surfaces of coins carried beneath the stationary head by the rotatable disc. The stationary head includes a channel (21) for receiving coins which are carried on the surface of the rotatable disc beneath the stationary head. |
