The disk shaped articles or coins to be sorted are conveyed by an entrainment belt on a base plate in conveying direction along a guide rail. Dependent on their diameter, the coins are separated out of the conveying path at respectively one of the sorting stations. The outward transfer ensues by a high-speed sorting belt into whose sphere of influence the coins respective proceed when, as a consequence of their diameter, they are lifted off from the base plate at one side due to their inherent motion in conveying direction, being lifted off by means of a wedge-shaped deflection element. The sorting belt then withdraws the coin to be transferred out of the conveying path under high acceleration, so that it proceeds into a collecting shaft. Such as apparatus functioning with an exclusively mechanical arrangement allows a high sorting speed given a compact structure.
