Claim 1

A COIN SEPARATOR THAT HAS: (A) A RUNWAY ALONG WHICH COINS AND SLUGS CAN ROLL, (B) A SOURCE OF MAGNETIC FLUX LINES WHICH IS ADJACENT TO SAID RUNWAY AND WHICH HAS A APPRECIABLE PORTION THEREOF DISPOSED BEYOND THE DISCHARGE END OF SAID RUNWAY, (C) A REBOUNDING SURFACE THAT IS SPACED IN ONE DIRECTION FROM SAID DISCHARGE END OF SAID RUNWAY AND THAT CAN RECEIVED COINS WHICH SUCCESSIVELY ROLL ALONG, AND THEN PASS BEYOND SAID DISCHARGE END OF, SAID RUNWAY, (D) AN ACCEPTED COIN CHUTE, (E) A REJECTED COIN CHUTE, (F) SAID RUNWAY GUIDING COINS OR SLUGS INTO SAID MAGNETIC FLUX LINES FROM SAID SOURCE OF MAGNETIC FLUX LINES AND PERMITTING SAID COINS OR SLUGS TO ROLL OFF OF SAID DISCHARGE END THEREOF, (G) SAID MAGNETIC FLUX LINES CO-ACTING WITH THE MOVEMENT OF SAID COINS OR SLUGS TO GENERATE EDDY CURRENTS IN SAID COINS OR SLUGS, (H) SAID EDDY CURRENTS IN SAID COINS OR SLUGS GENERATING MAGNETIC FIELDS WHICH INTERACT WITH SAID MAGNETIC FLUX LINES TO TEND TO RETARD THE MOVEMENT OF SAID COINS OR SLUGS, WHEREBY COINS AND SLUGS OF DIFFERENT RESISTIVITIES WILL ROLL ALONG, AND PASS BEYOND AND DISCHARGE END OF, SAID RUNWAY AT DIFFERENT RATES OF SPEED, (I) SAID REBOUNDING SURFACE BEING POSITIONED RELATIVE TO SAID DISCHARGE END OF SAID RUNWAY SO COINS AND SLUGS WHICH HAVE RESISTIVITIES WITHIN A PREDETERMINED RANGE AND WHICH HAVE RECEIVED WITHIN A PREDETERMINED AMOUNT OF RETARDATION AS THEY ROLL THROUGH SAID MAGNETIC FLUX LINES WILL STRIKE SAID REBOUNDING SURFACE AND WILL REBOUND BACK TOWARD SAID DISCHARGE END OF SAID RUNWAY AND PASS THROUGH SAID APPRECIABLE PORTION OF SAID MAGNETIC FLUX LINES, (J) SAID APPRECIABLE PORTION OF SAID MAGNETIC FLUX LINES COACTING WITH THE MOVEMENT OF SAID REBOUNDING COINS AND SLUGS TO GENERATE FURTHER EDDY CURRENTS IN SAID COINS AND SLUGS, (K) SAID FURTHER EDDY CURRENTS IN SAID COINS AND SLUGS GENERATING FURTHER MAGNETIC FIELDS WHICH INTERACT WITH SAID APPRECIABLE PORTION OF SAID FLUX LINES TO ADDITIONALLY RETARD THE MOVEMENT OF SAID COINS AND SLUGS, (L) THE ADDITIONAL RETARDATION OF SAID COINS AND SLUGS COACTING WITH THE INITIAL RETARDATION OF SAID COINS TO GUIDE SAID COINS AND SLUGS TOWARD THE APPROPRIATE CHUTE.
