Abstract
For a coin handling machine, there is provided a coin counting and stopping apparatus wherein coins which are transferred in a coin path are counted one after another and stopped when the number of the counted coins reaches a preset number. The apparatus includes at least one detecter or preferably two detecters disposed in the coin path for detecting the passage of the coins to generate signals. An electric circuit which receives signals generated by one or two detecters performs a counting operation for the number of the coins which have passed by the detecters. A stopper is provided downstream of the detecters. When the number of the counted coins reaches a preset number, the stopper is rotated to stop the subsequent coins.
