NEWFANGLED COIN SORTER DEBUTS

An article today from The Associated Press describes a new
coin sorter its maker thinks will set a new standard:

"He calls it the Verifier, which sounds faintly ominous, like
something from a Stephen King novel.

But what this new machine does, according to inventor Gregory
F. String, 49, is to relentlessly and efficiently sort coins - any
coin in the world. He says it will do a better job than all similar
machines on the market today. It can handle huge volumes of
coins, upwards of 8,000 per minute."

"This new coin machine will be huge. This can go around the
world," he noted.

"Wilson said her brother built the Verifier because "he got tired
of hearing me scream and whine and complain" about the
coin-sorting machines she was then using.

Since the mid-1990s, she said, the problem of "dirty" coin-sorting
has burgeoned. Bags that are supposed to contain 10,000 dimes
might have 9,500 dimes along with 500 pennies. They gummed
up the old-style coin-sorting machines and had to be pulled out
manually, reducing production by 50 percent.

"We dump a bag of coins into Greg's machine and it counts the
dimes and spits out the wrong ones into a reject bin," she said.
"It works great."
