A disc-type coin sorter for sorting coin mixtures which include coins of mixed diameters. The sorter has a rotatable disc with a resilient top surface, and a stationary sorting head having a lower surface positioned parallel to the resilient top surface of the disc and spaced slightly therefrom; the lower surface of the sorting head forming a queuing region for aligning the outer edges of coins of all denominations at a common radius. There is a plurality of exit channels for receiving the queued coins, and for guiding coins of different diameters to different exit stations along the periphery of the sorting head. A guide wall extends between at least selected pairs of adjacent exit channels for engaging and guiding the outer edges of coins that do not enter at least the first of the pair of adjacent exit channels; the guide wall maintaining the outer edges of the engaged coins at that common radius. A portion of the lower surface of the sorting head that is traversed by coins between a first and last exit channels tapers upwardly in a radial direction from an area traversed by inner edges of the largest-diameter coins, to a top edge of the guide wall that extends between adjacent exit channels.
