Abstract:
1. An automatic coin sorting device comprising: a housing including a hopper configured for receiving coins; a coin tray coupled to the housing, wherein the coin tray pivots inward and outward from the point of attachment to the housing; and a plurality of tubular coin receiving members removably secured to the coin tray, wherein each tubular coin receiving member is configured for receiving a different-sized coin, whereby each tubular coin receiving member includes an opening having a face for receiving coins comprising a substantially horizontal portion at the back of the top opening of each member that transitions into an angled portion that slants downward from the top of the tubular coin receiving member, where the angled opening enables excess coins to fall from the top of the receiving member when the receiving member accumulates a pre-determined number of coins and where the substantially horizontal portion facilitates the falling of the coins into the tubular coin receiving members by reducing the open space between the coin receiving members and the apertures in communication with the receiving members, while still allowing the coins to exit forward upon overflow.
