<p>PCT No. PCT/GB90/01245 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 18, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 18, 1992 PCT Filed Aug. 9, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/03032 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 7, 1991.A coin testing apparatus is provided in which two oscillating magnetic fields interact with a coin and these interactions are monitored to test for the acceptability and/or the presence of a coin. The fields are associated with respective inductive coils which have a common core so arranged that not more than a minor proportion of the field of one coil interacts with the other coil. In a preferred embodiment one of the two coils encircles the other, which provides a very compact two-field coin sensing arrangement. In some embodiments one coil encircles the other but they have respective core elements.</p> |
