Systems, apparatuses, and associated methods for counting and sorting coins are described herein. In one embodiment, a coin processing machine can include a coin input region, a coin counting portion, and a coin sorting portion. The coin counting portion can include a first hopper that receives coins from the coin input region, and a coin discriminator that receives the coins from the first hopper and discriminates the coins to determine their value. The coin sorting portion can include a second coin hopper that receives the coins from the coin discriminator, and a coin sorter that receives the coins from the second hopper and sorts the coins into individual denominations.
1. A coin processing machine comprising: a coin input region configured to receive a plurality of random coins from a user;a coin counting portion having— a coin discriminator that receives the coins from the coin input region and discriminates the coins to determine a total value; anda coin sorting
1. A coin processing machine comprising: a coin input region configured to receive a plurality of random coins from a user;a coin counting portion having— a coin discriminator that receives the coins from the coin input region and discriminates the coins to determine a total value; anda coin sorting portion having— a coin sorter that receives the coins from the coin discriminator and sorts the coins into individual denominations, the coin sorter including— a back plate having a series of coin apertures in a surface thereof, wherein each of the coin apertures is sized to permit passage therethrough of coins corresponding to a particular denomination;a coin sensor mounted proximate the back plate;a plurality of coin movers operably connected to the coin sensor, wherein each of the coin movers is positioned adjacent to an individual coin aperture;a coin disk rotatably mounted relative to the back plate, the coin disk having a plurality of coin carrying portions configured to receive individual coins from the coin discriminator and carry the coins sequentially past the coin sensor and then the series of coin apertures, wherein the coin sensor is configured to send signals to the coin movers based on the denominations of the individual coins moving past the sensor, and wherein the coin movers are configured to respond to the signals by moving each of the coins through the aperture in the back plate that corresponds to the denomination of the particular coin. 2. The coin processing machine of claim 1 wherein the coin sorting portion further includes a coin hopper that receives the coins from the coin discriminator, and wherein the coin disk receives individual coins from the coin hopper. 3. The coin processing machine of claim 1 wherein the coin disk is a first coin disk that rotates about a first axis, wherein the coin counting portion includes a second coin disk that receives coins from the coin input region and rotates about a second axis to move coins past the coin discriminator, and wherein the first and second axes are laterally disposed at about the same elevation relative to each other. 4. The coin processing machine of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of coin bins, wherein each of the coin bins receives an individual denomination of coin from the coin sorter. 5. The coin processing machine of claim 1, further comprising: a coin input sensor operably coupled to the coin input region; anda controller operably connected to the coin input sensor, wherein the coin input sensor is configured to sense the placement of coins in the coin input region and send a corresponding signal to the controller, and wherein the controller is configured to respond to the signal from the coin input sensor by automatically starting the coin counting portion. 6. The coin processing machine of claim 1 wherein the coin input region includes at least one coin outlet, wherein the coins received from the user move through the coin outlet toward the coin counting portion, and wherein the coin processing machine further comprises: a coin input sensor operably coupled to the coin input region; anda controller operably connected to the coin input sensor, wherein the coin input sensor is configured to sense the placement of coins in the coin input region and send a corresponding signal to the controller, and wherein the controller is configured to respond to the signal from the coin input sensor by automatically starting the coin counting portion and allowing coins to flow through the outlet to the coin counting portion. 7. A coin processing machine comprising: a coin input region configured to receive a plurality of random coins from a user;a coin counting portion having— a first coin hopper that receives the plurality of coins from the coin input region;a coin discriminator that receives the coins from the first coin hopper and discriminates the coins to determine a total value; anda coin sorting portion having— a second coin hopper that receives the coins from the coin discriminator; anda coin sorter that receives the coins from the second coin hopper and sorts the coins into individual denominations, wherein the coin sorter includes—a back plate having a series of coin apertures in a surface thereof, wherein individual coin apertures are sized to permit passage therethrough of coins corresponding to particular denominations;a coin sensor mounted proximate the back plate;a plurality of coin movers operably connected to the coin sensor, wherein each of the coin movers is positioned adjacent to an individual coin aperture;a coin disk rotatably mounted relative to the back plate, the coin disk having a plurality of coin carrying portions configured to receive individual coins from the second coin hopper and carry the coins sequentially past the coin sensor and then the series of coin apertures, wherein the coin sensor is configured to send signals to the coin movers based on the denominations of the individual coins moving past the sensor, and wherein the coin movers are configured to respond to the signals by moving the individual coins through the adjacent apertures in the back plate. 8. The coin processing machine of claim 7 wherein the coin sensor is configured to determine denominations of individual coins as the coins move past the coin sensor. 9. The coin processing machine of claim 7 wherein each of the coin movers includes a solenoid configured to respond to the signals from the coin sensor by pushing the individual coins through the adjacent apertures in the back plate. 10. A coin sorter comprising: a back plate having a series of coin apertures in a surface thereof, wherein individual coin apertures are sized to permit passage therethrough of coins corresponding to particular denominations;a coin sensor mounted proximate the back plate;a plurality of coin movers operably connected to the coin sensor, wherein each of the coin movers is positioned adjacent an individual coin aperture; anda coin disk rotatably mounted relative to the back plate, the coin disk having a plurality of coin carrying portions configured to carry individual coins past the coin sensor and the series of coin apertures, wherein the coin sensor is configured to determine the denominations of the individual coins and send corresponding signals to the individual coin movers, and wherein the coin movers are configured to respond to the signals by moving the individual coins through the adjacent coin apertures in the back plate. 11. The coin sorter of claim 10 wherein each of the coin movers includes a solenoid having a plunger that pushes coins through the adjacent aperture in the back plate in response to the signals from the coin sensor. 12. The coin sorter of claim 10 wherein the coin movers are first coin movers, and wherein the coin sorter further comprises a second coin mover mounted proximate the back plate between the coin sensor and the first coin movers, wherein the second coin mover is configured to selectively knock coins off of the coin disk before the coins move to the first coin movers.
