Abstract
Abstract A coin tester for vending machines in which the coin to be tested forms a core to concentrate the magnetic flux between a first coil provided with a constant voltage AC current, and a second testing or measuring coil in which an EMF is to be induced whereby deviations of the magnetic properties of a coin being tested from the magnetic properties of an acceptable coin will cause a signal actuated by said testing or measuring coil to reject the coin if it is counterfeit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A coin-testing apparatus of the type wherein acceptability of a coin is determined by the magnetic properties thereof, said apparatus comprising, in combination: a coin passage; two windings arranged around said coin passage one above the other with a spacing therebetween such that said windings have no inductive coupling, the magnetic connection between said windings being established as a coin of ferromagnetic alloy passes between said windings, one of said windings being connected to a source of alternating-current, and the other of said windings being connected to a measuring circuit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
