Abstract
A coin counting device for simultaneously counting a number of coins, all of which are of a selected denomination. The device includes a hopper, an inclined planar member to receive coins from the hopper, members mounted to prevent coins from rolling down the planar member and to prevent coins from sliding down the planar member atop one another. The device also includes an array of pin members to disperse the coins transversely across the surface of the planar member. Gate means are mounted at the bottom edge of the inclined planar member to count coins as they slide passed.
