Description

G07D encompasses machines and devices for the mechanical or automated processing of coins and currency notes, including testing for authenticity and quality, sorting by denomination, counting, dispensing, and deposit functions. Applications include coin counters, note validators, vending machine components, currency sorters, and coin exchange mechanisms found in banking, retail, and automated teller systems. The classification covers both the detection technology (e.g., sensors for denomination recognition) and the mechanical systems for handling and routing physical currency. Adjacent classes such as G07F (payment machines) may overlap for integrated systems, but G07D specifically focuses on the currency handling mechanisms themselves rather than the broader payment transaction context.
