- It does not count them, it detects the coin by measuring the angle that the coin leaves when inserted between the two bars. Different coin => different size => different gap between the bars.
Note that this is of course a very crude way to detect the coins. It will not work with unknown coins and it will have a hard time to distinguish between two coins with very similar radius.(1 vote)
