Abstract
The invention is related to a coin chute for transporting coins in a coin processing machine. The coin chute includes a first surface, a second surface, and a rolling surface. The rolling surface connects the first surface and the second surface to form generally a V-shape cross-section to the coin chute. The V-shape has an angle θ between the first and second surface surfaces, and is inclined at an angle α relative to the horizontal. The angles θ and α are selected to be values that cause the coins to move under a gravitational force and slidably roll across the rolling surface.
