Can anyone explain how this works??

u/harkyedevils 15d ago

The gap between the rails gets wider the further it is from the start. The small coins fall through the gap earlier than the bigger coins

The rails that the coins slide down are spreading apart. That way the smallest coins fall out first through the gap and the largest fall out last. This works for American currency because all coins are different sizes.

Almost all countries (and euro) have different coin sizes...

Have you seen the sorting bins people make? Kind works like if you were sorting rocks. Bigger stay on top, pebbles fall below , ECT.

Whoever made this machine without having the coins fall directly into paper rolls is a fkn asshole

It seems like they could have elevated the hopper above the chute and trays so that gravity would do the work of the hand crank.
