Abstract
A process for emptying the tray space of flat-running coin-counting and coin-sorting machines with a coin support with coin tray. The process includes the automatic emptying and simple cleaning of the tray space and the elimination of disturbances caused by, e.g., jamming in the area of the coin intake. This occurs without opening the coin transport device, the height limitation device or the like, and which guarantees a high level of safety against unauthorized access to the tray space. The coin support is opened in the downward direction.
