ABSTRACT The invention relates to a coin sorter apparatus for sorting a group of mixed coins by denomination and automatic- ally terminating the sorting process in response to a sensed operating parameter. Sorting is provided by a stationary disk and a rotating disk positioned sufficiently proximate to one another so that when the group of mixed coins are dropped into the center opening of the stationary disk, they are rotated by the rotating disk and guided by the stationary disk on a radi- ally outward spiral sorting path which exits each denomination of the coins at discrete locations along the periphery of the stationary means. As the coins are sorted, a sensing means provides signals indicating the presence of a predetermined condition. A bridge guide and a diverter guide, which are part of the stationary disk, are responsive to the signals from the sensing means to redirect the radially outward sorting path of the coins to a radially inward path so as to terminate the sorting process. Optionally, a circuit responsive to the sensing means controls the application of power to the motor powering the rotating disk of the sorter apparatus and cuts off that power, when the sorting process is terminated in order to prevent abrasion of the re-circulating coins or damage to the sorter apparatus.
