COIN ANALYZER SENSOR CONFIGURATION ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A coin analyzer system includes a coin detecting sensor having a body defined by a magnetic core with spaced apart sides to define there-between an air gap that is large enough to position any size coin which may be deposited. A coil that is magnetically coupled to the core generates a uniform magnetic flux through the air gap from one side to the other so that the positioning of the coin in the air gap is not critical. A return path is provided in the core for returning the magnetic flux to the one side from the other side and thereby completing the magnetic circuit. The arms surrounding the coin sensing region define facing surfaces which converge outwardly from the bite portion in order to produce a uniform magnetic circuit reluctance for all portions of the facing surfaces. The core may be divided into two core portions separated by a secondary air gap in the return path with a pair of coils provided, one magnetically coupled with each of the core portions. One coil may serve as a transmitting coil and the other as a receiving coil. Other embodiments of the sensor include a generally E-shaped core including at least one base member and three arms extending in a same direction from the base member in order to define a test coin sensing region between two adjacent ones of the arms and a sample coin sensing region between two other adjacent ones of the arms. A coil is magnetically coupled with the base member between two adjacent arms and another coil is magnetically coupled with the base member between two other adjacent arms. Various detection circuits are disclosed for connection with the sensor coils in order to determine the denomination of the test coin.
