Abstract

Geldwechsler für Münzautomaten für die Annahme von Münzen von einer nationalen und der Euro-Währung, wobei der Geldwechsler folgende Merkmale aufweist:
  • eine einem Münzprüfer nachgeordnete Sortiervorrichtung,
  • drei oder vier Münztuben für die Aufnahme von Münzen unterschiedlicher Wertigkeit,
  • eine Auszahlvorrichtung für die Ausgabe von Münzen aus den Münztuben,
  • mindestens einen Mikroprozessor, der eine
    • Auswertevorrichtung für die vom Münzprüfer kommenden, den Münzen entsprechenden Münzsignale aufweist,
    • einen Sortiersteuerblock zur Ansteuerung der Sortiervorrichtung, welche Münzen vorgegebenen Wertes in vorgegebene Tuben lenkt und übrige Münzen in eine Kasse,
    • gegebenenfalls einen Preisblock, in dem der Wert der eingeworfenen Münzen mit einem voreingestellten Preis verglichen wird,
    • einen Auszahlsteuerblock, der die Auszahlvorrichtung ansteuert zur Ausgabe der Münzen aus den Münztuben, wenn der Wert der eingeworfenen Münzen den voreingestellten Preis übersteigt,
    • gegebenenfalls einen Display-Steuerblock zur Ansteuerung einer Anzeige für den Betrag der eingeworfenen Münzen, wobei
    • die Auswertevorrichtung für die nationale Währung und die Euro-Münzsignale programmiert oder programmierbar ist und wahlweise in Abhängigkeit von der angewählten Währung (Basis-Währung) eine Umrechnung oder Bewertung aus der nicht angewählten Währung in die gewählte durchführt,
  • einen Wahlschalter zur wahlweisen Aktivierung der nationalen Währung oder der Euro-Währung in der Auswertevorrichtung bzw. eines ansteuerbaren Bereichs zur Aktivierung der Basis-Währung in der Auswertevorrichtung, und
wobei mindestens zwei Münztuben so ausgelegt sind, daß jeweils Münzen der nationalen Währung bzw. Euro-Münzen speicherbar sind und das im Sortiersteuerblock enthaltene Programm derart ausgebildet ist, daß am Stichtag oder danach die Sortiervorrichtung die nationale Münze in die Kasse lenkt und die Sortierung von Euro-Münzen in die zumindest zwei Münztuben freigibt, sobald ein entsprechender Leerstandsmelder meldet, daß eine der zumindest zwei Münztuben von nationalen Münzen leer ist, wobei die Umschaltungen am Stichtag oder danach manuell, durch einen Zeit- oder Datumsgeber ausgelöst werden oder durch Mittel, die ein Ereignis registrieren, z. B. das erste Auftauchen einer Euro-Münze, das Auftauchen einer Mehrzahl von Euro-Münzen oder einer bestimmten Kombination von Euro-Münzen.
