Coin sorting disc with coin flow management features

A stationary sorting head for processing a plurality of coins of a mixed plurality of denominations having a plurality of diameters and a plurality of thicknesses, comprising:

• a lower surface generally parallel to and spaced a distance from a resilient pad of a rotatable disc, the lower surface forming a coin path for directing movement of each of the plurality of coins, the resilient pad being generally circular and including an outer peripheral edge, and
• a queuing area of the coin path configured to guide the plurality of coins in a single file and single layer configuration to a discrimination area, the queuing area including a queuing channel having an inner queuing wall, the queuing channel having a first depth and a beveled surface curving tangentially with the outer peripheral edge of the resilient pad and extending from the first depth to a zero depth, wherein a portion of the queuing channel is at a second depth less than the first depth and the portion of the queuing channel at the second depth terminates adjacent to the outer peripheral edge of the resilient pad and where the queuing channel curves tangentially.
