Abstract

Une unité d'entrée (11) fournit une pluralité de pièces de monnaie une par une. Une unité de transport (13) transporte les pièces de monnaie alimentées à partir de l'unité d'entrée (11). Une unité d'imagerie (120) effectue une imagerie des pièces de monnaie transportées par l'unité de transport (13), et acquiert des images des pièces de monnaie. Une unité d'affichage (412) affiche les images des pièces de monnaie qui sont acquises par l'unité d'imagerie (120). Une unité d'entrée d'informations (411) reçoit des informations concernant les pièces de monnaie. Une unité de commande (40) associe les images des pièces de monnaie qui sont acquises par l'unité d'imagerie (120) aux informations concernant les pièces de monnaie qui ont été entrées dans l'unité d'entrée d'informations (411), lors d'un processus de détermination dans lequel les images des pièces de monnaie qui sont acquises par l'unité d'imagerie (120) sont affichées par l'unité d'affichage (412) et les informations concernant les pièces de monnaie sont entrées dans l'unité d'entrée d'informations (411).
