150 Coin acceptance means and method US914876 1986-10-03 US4763769A 1988-08-16 Joseph L. Levasseur
A coin acceptance construction and method for use with a predefined price vending system which includes coin analysis apparatus capable of producing coin analysis data for determining coin validity, a controllable mechanism operable to effect the acceptance or return of deposited coins, coin availability status monitors for determining coins available for payback, such monitors producing coin availability status data indicative of the status of coins available for payback, and vend control circuitry for controlling a vend operation, which vend control circuitry is operable to accumulate credit and to effect a vend when the amount of accumulated credit at least equals the vend price. The coin acceptance construction, which may be either separate from the vend control circuitry, e.g., separate decoding circuitry, or form a part of the vend control circuitry, e.g., a programmed microprocessor, is responsive to the production by the coin analysis apparatus, upon detection thereby of a deposited coin, of coin analysis data representative of a valid coin to determine the acceptability of such validated deposited coin for the particular vend operation in progress, which determination is dependent upon the vend price, the accumulated credit, the coin analysis data representative of the validated deposited coin, and the coin availability status data. The coin acceptance construction operates to effect acceptance of such validated deposited coin by the controllable mechanism and the accumulation by the vend control circuitry of additional credit corresponding to the value of such validated deposited coin unless such additional credit accumulation would result in an overdeposit the correct amount of which is unavailable in coins available for payback.

156 Coin discrimination apparatus US949241 1993-04-28 US5379876A 1995-01-10 Les Hutton
In coin discrimination apparatus, a coin under test rolls past first and second inductive sensors (C1, C2) which produce first and second coin signals (x.sub.1, x.sub.2) in dependence upon the coin under test. The coin signals are compared with data defining first and second stored windows (W.sub.1, W.sub.2) to determine acceptability of the coin. In accordance with the invention the data for the first and second windows (W.sub.1, W.sub.2) are stored respectively for providing both a first and a second window width (W.sub.11, W.sub.12 ; W.sub.21, W.sub.22), wherein the first window width corresponds to the width of a distribution of coin signals associated with acceptable coins of a particular denomination, and the second window width corresponds to the width of said distribution but excludes therefrom a range of values corresponding to fraudulent coins, and a coin under test is deemed to be acceptable upon the coin signals falling either within a first or a second acceptance condition wherein, for the first acceptance condition, the value of the first coin signal fails within the first window width of the first window (W.sub.11), and the value of the second coin signal falls within the second window width of the second window (W22), and for the second acceptance condition the value of the first coin signal falls within the second window width of the first window (W.sub.12), and the value of the second coin signal falls within the first window width of the second window (W.sub.21).

158 Coin detector system US387820 1982-06-14 US4469213A 1984-09-04 Raymond Nicholson; Donald O. Parker
An electronically controlled coin tester which positions a sample coin in a magnetic field then passes a test coin through a similar magnetic field to create a null in a detector coil sensing the fields. The output of a square wave oscillator is differentiated to generate a spiked signal for exciting the magnetic field. The presence of the test coin is detected by sensing the quality of the null and test coin is accepted in response to the duration of the null. Preferably, a capacitor is charged in the absence of the test coin and discharged in the presence of the test coin and the test coin is accepted in response to the amount of energy stored in the capacitor at the time the null is produced. In addition, a pendulum damper is provided for engaging the test coin prior to its entry into the magnetic field and variably retarding the test coin in response to the coin size.
159 Supplemental coin acceptor/rejector mechanism for coin operated machines US022135 1979-03-20 US4220234A 1980-09-02 Russell G. Sheltra, Sr.
A coin operated machine, such as a vending machine including a first coin acceptor/rejector mechanism which normally separates acceptable coins from non-acceptable coins, also carries an underlying mechanism which includes a pivotable chute positioned in the path of the rejected coins and having an opening sized to receive rejected same value, but different size and weight, coins of a predetermined diameter and smaller size coins. The chute bears a coin reject window for causing coins smaller than those of said predetermined diameter to be rejected from the chute and further includes an inclined on-edge coin gravity flow path of a predetermined angle to horizontal. A microswitch feeler along said path senses passage of said same value coins and the chute segregates these coins from the other rejected coins. The chute is automatically pivoted between gate open and gate closed positions in response to this microswitch and another microswitch sensing acceptance of a predetermined number of proper value coins of different size and weight to insure return of superfluous coins to the operator, in any sequence.
160 Method and apparatus for fraud detection US09967424 2001-09-28 US06736250B2 2004-05-18 Harold E. Mattice
A system for detection of fraud upon a coin or token accepting device is disclosed. In one embodiment the system operates in a coin path, the coin path being configured to accept and direct a coin. Prior to credit being provided for a coin or other item of value, the system detects and analyzes behavior of objects in the coin path. In one embodiment, one or more emitter/detector pairs are located in the coin path. The emitters transmit a form of energy across the coin path for detection by a detector. A fraud perpetration device in the coin path can be detected by the emitter/detector pairs. The emitter/detector pairs may utilize complex signal schemes, such as signal modulation, random signaling generation, velocity, acceleration, displacement, coin material physics, and the like to detect fraud.
