Most automatic coin sorters work using a simple but effective system:
  1. You pour mixed coins into the hopper (top section).
  2. The machine feeds coins through a rotating disc or vibration mechanism.
  3. Coins move through sorting channels based on diameter and thickness.
  4. Each coin drops into the correct bin for that denomination.
  5. The machine counts each coin and displays the total amount.
Some advanced models can also:
  • detect damaged coins
  • reject foreign coins
  • stop automatically when a bin is full
  • print reports
  • connect to POS/cash systems
