Abstract

A method and device for checking a coin for forgery by means of a difference in an uneven pattern on a coin surface, wherein an exciting coil is disposed in the vicinity of a passage wall on one side of a coin passage inclined at a preset angle so that the two magnetic poles of the exciting coil face the coin passage, and two receiving coils having approximately identical characteristics are disposed in the vicinity of the same passage wall for electromagnetic coupling with the exciting coil. The exciting coil is excited at a preset frequency to detect by the receiving coil an effect on a diamagnetic field by an eddy current produced on a coin surface. A different uneven pattern on the coin surface generates a different diamagnetic field strength to enable us to check the coin for forgery. The device, simple in construction and inexpensive to construct, can discriminate a coin of approximately the same material, shape and thickness according to a difference in its surface pattern.
