Abstract

Includes an inlet (17) for coins or tokens, a microprocessor (9) or a CPU and a discriminator (5) for coins or tokens. The device is capable of determining the glow of the coin or token which generates a signal which will be released to a microprocessor or a CPU, indicating the level of glow of the coin or token and on the ground of pre-established parameters; the coin or token will be acknowledged as of legal tender or authentic or as false.
