Abstract

In a coin sorting device having a fundamental function for judging whether or not a deposited coin is included in a true-coin kind, an additional function is provided to judge about whether or not the deposited coin is included in a false-coln kind. The true-coln kind is represented by a first coin datum memorized in a first memory part (27). The false-coin kind is represented by a second coin datum memorized in a second memory part (28). The additional function is achieved in response to the second coin datum and a third coin datum representative of a coin which is deposited as the deposited coin into the coin sorting device. The fundamental function is achieved in response to the first and the third coin data.
