The first product is a machine capable of sorting over 300 coins per minute. It is a single denomination coin
sorter/counter called the Coin Artist. Single denomination means it will only sort one kind of coin at a time.
At this point you ask what is there to sort if they are the same denomination coin?
Over the years as metal prices fluctuate, the mints of the world have changed the composition of their coins
but they often leave the size and color of the coin the same so they can easily circulate together without
causing confusion to users.   The best current example of this is the US 1 cent Lincoln coin, or penny. Some
time in 1982 the US Mint changed the composition of the coin from 95%copper and 5% zinc weighing 3.11
grams, to a zinc planchette coated with copper. This new composition is pure copper plating over zinc. Zinc
content is about 99.2%   and copper plating makes up the rest at about 0.8% this coin weighs 2.5 grams.
The Coin Artist will be configured to sort these two types of pennies that circulate together side by side From
my samplings of over 150,000 coins, I have found that the percentage of copper content coins in my area runs
about 29.5%. This may vary within any geographic area, and will continue downward as they are removed.
Also available, is the Coin Artist for nickels.   The US nickel is really not in play, but the Canadian nickels have
been changed numerous times and there are almost pure NI content nickels circulating side by side. With the
nickel price so high, it makes sense to remove these from circulation and store them for a long term
numismatic play. For Canadian customers it will make sense to get set up for the nickels as well as the
copper pennies. This will be accomplished by purchasing either a separate sorting unit just for nickels, or a
retrofit kit to switch over to them intermittently. As things develop on my end I will add more content
explaining other uses of the Coin Artist

COIN ARTIST with Counters Model 300-1 $649
Includes Nickel chute and speed control. Shipping is $30 in US $50 into Canada
this model is for the serious hobby and light commercial user. The powder coated steel
body around this unit, gives it the strength for heavy coin loads with multiple extension
hoppers. The commercial electronic re-settable counters give you good accuracy for
estimating your accepted to rejected ratio. The machine can double as a counter, but
this is not recommended as it's primary function.

APPRENTICE with Totalizing Counter Model 300-A $379
Includes one extension hopper. Unit is set up for pennies ( Both US or CANADIAN)
Nickel chute and speed control optional for $50 more. Shipping $20 in US $25 into Canada.
Same functionality as the Coin Artist. But unit has open design, so there is more coin
noise, and it must sit on the edge of a table, and drop coins into boxes or buckets below
the machine. It includes one non-resettable counter (sort of like an odometer on a car)
that counts each coin as it is fed into the discriminator. This can be used like a counter,
but you will have to keep a log book as you sort and count.

HAND FED SYSTEM No Model Number $199
Includes Penny or Nickel Chute (plastic injection parts) Base Plate and Discriminator, Can
be upgraded later to an APPRENTICE for additional cost of $200 for feeder or $250 for
feeder plus additional chute(penny or nickel) and speed control. Just send back for
factory retrofitting. You could also develop your own feed system if you are on a budget.
Includes power supply, pre-wired for the discriminator. I will include the stainless bracket
and funnel for model as shown, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FUNNEL ATTACHMENT AND
FINAL ASSEMBLY. SOMEWHAT INTERACTIVE BUT ALLOWS THE USER SOME OPTIONS ON
FEEDING. Does not include counter, feed hopper, or electric switch. Shipping is $20 in US
$25 into Canada.
