Abstract
Coins that are overlapped in a coin identification device are separated by opposed frictional surfaces driven in opposite directions. A primary frictional surface may be on a downwardly traveling belt and a secondary frictional surface may be as upwardly traveling roller surface. Coins which are engaged edge-to-edge may be separated by a deflector which retards the descent of one coin to separate it vertically from the other coin. The roller is mounted on a pivotal plate which moves to increase the space between frictional surfaces to alleviate jamming.
