Abstract
Herein disclosed is a coin selecting apparatus for selecting or classifying mixed coins in accordance with their diameters. The coin selecting apparatus includes a selecting track which is formed in its bottom with a plurality of selecting holes. These holes are arranged in a row in the flow direction of the coins and are sized to have stepwisely larger widths in the downstream direction of the coin flow so that they may allow the coins to pass down therethrough to be classified. The coin selecting apparatus further includes a selecting belt mechanism which is operative to convey the coins on the selecting track so that coins may fall into the selecting holes in order of increasing coin diameter. The selecting belt mechanism is composed of a plurality of belt carrying mechanisms which are arranged on the selecting track for carrying a corresponding number of belts such that the running directions of the belts are inclined at a preset angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the selecting track and that each of the belts partially overlaps the next downstream belt.
