A coin handling apparatus for receiving coins at one end of a coin transport channel, feeding the coins through the channel in single edge-to-edge file and discharging the coins through an outlet slot at the outlet end of the channel is disclosed. A security device located at the outlet end of the channel is in contact with a first coin next to the outlet slot and a second coin farther from the outlet slot. The security device prevents the first coin from being discharged through the outlet slot unless the first and second coins move simultaneously and with substantially equal speeds toward the outlet slot. |
