Disc-type coin sorter with adjustable targeting inserts

A disc-type coin sorter for sorting coin mixtures which include coin denominations of substantially similar diameters, the sorter has a rotatable disc having a resilient top surface, a drive motor for rotating the disc, a stationary sorting head having a lower surface positioned over and closely adjacent to the upper surface of the disc and having an opening in the central region thereof for feeding coins between the opposed surfaces of the disc and sorting head, the lower surface of the sorting head is contoured to align the coins in a single file and single layer, the contoured lower surface extends downwardly between exit channels at a common radial position providing a positive guide wall which maintains the radial alignment of coins as they pass between exit channels and tapers upwardly in a radial direction from the area traversed by the inner edges of the largest-diameter coins, to the top edge of the guide wall that extends between adjacent exit channels.
