Canadian Coin Counter / Sorter

The phrase "Canadian coin counter" can be used to describe a couple different devices, it could be used to refer to a device which both sorts and counts coins at the same time, or also to a machine that only counts presorted coins that are all the same size.

A typical Canadian coin counter of presorted coins uses a bowl with flat spinning disc at the bottom to distribute coins around the bowl perimeter. An opening in the edge of the bowl is only wide enough to accept one coin at a time. Coins either pass through a light-beam counter, or are pushed through a spring-loaded cam that only accepts one coin at a time.
