A device for sorting coins leaving a coin checking device in at least six coin tubes of a coin changer, the device comprising: a first turnout element, having a first and a second turnout section, which, depending on the unactuated or actuated state of the first turnout element, deflect coins in a plane to one side or the other of the first turnout element; a third turnout section, which, depending on its operation, directs coins on one side of the first turnout element towards either a central or an outer tube; a fourth turnout section, which selectively directs coins on the other side of the first turnout element towards a central or an outer tube depending on its operation, the first turnout element being actuated by a first solenoid and, third and fourth turnout sections (52, 54) being actuated jointly by a second solenoid, wherein third and fourth turnout sections (52, 54) form a second turnout element each having a track (52, 54) above a central coin tube (C, D), which is directed towards the respective outer coin tube (B, E), wherein the two tracks (52, 54) form a passageway downwards to the central coin tubes (C, D) when the second turnout element is not actuated, and when the second turnout element is actuated, direct coins toward the outer coin tubes (B, E) in such a way that the coins are always aligned in the same vertical plane when passing through and leaving the sorting device; characterized in that a fifth and a sixth coin tube (A, F) are provided, the axes of which are in a second and a third plane approximately common to the axis of the corresponding outer coin tube (B, E), wherein second and third planes are approximately perpendicular to the first plane, and wherein a third or fourth turnout element (78, 80) actuated by a solenoid (88, 90) is arranged above the outer coin tubes (B, E) and, when the third or fourth turnout element is not actuated, the coins are directed to the outer coin tubes (B and F, respectively) and, when the third or fourth turnout element is actuated, the coins are directed towards the fifth or sixth coin tube (A, F). a first turnout element, having a first and a second turnout section, which, depending on the unactuated or actuated state of the first turnout element, deflect coins in a plane to one side or the other of the first turnout element; a third turnout section, which, depending on its operation, directs coins on one side of the first turnout element towards either a central or an outer tube; a fourth turnout section, which selectively directs coins on the other side of the first turnout element towards a central or an outer tube depending on its operation, the first turnout element being actuated by a first solenoid and, third and fourth turnout sections (52, 54) being actuated jointly by a second solenoid, wherein third and fourth turnout sections (52, 54) form a second turnout element each having a track (52, 54) above a central coin tube (C, D), which is directed towards the respective outer coin tube (B, E), wherein the two tracks (52, 54) form a passageway downwards to the central coin tubes (C, D) when the second turnout element is not actuated, and when the second turnout element is actuated, direct coins toward the outer coin tubes (B, E) in such a way that the coins are always aligned in the same vertical plane when passing through and leaving the sorting device; characterized in that a fifth and a sixth coin tube (A, F) are provided, the axes of which are in a second and a third plane approximately common to the axis of the corresponding outer coin tube (B, E), wherein second and third planes are approximately perpendicular to the first plane, and wherein a third or fourth turnout element (78, 80) actuated by a solenoid (88, 90) is arranged above the outer coin tubes (B, E) and, when the third or fourth turnout element is not actuated, the coins are directed to the outer coin tubes (B and F, respectively) and, when the third or fourth turnout element is actuated, the coins are directed towards the fifth or sixth coin tube (A, F).
