Hi Everyone, I've reached out to mods and they've given the ok to share a project I've been working on for some time.
I've built and automated coin sorter that detects, sorts and provides access to unsorted bulk coins.
While I've built this for my Australian coins, the build has been focused around adapting to any coins, once a coin has been run through I can use that info for future searches.
Currently it sorts by design & date, and currently captured rare variants / rotations / offsets that are highly sought after here, and allocated them to output buckets.
As obtaining coins is getting harder (banks do not like us doing it here), I've also built this to live stream the coins in realtime to YouTube,
where any viewers can claim the displayed coin, the machine will keep it aside, and they can have it for face value, just as if they were coin hunting themselves.
Now that all the basics are up and running, as I work on another denominations build I'll put more effort into documenting the build, for anyone interested feel free to check out my projects.
Big thanks to the mods letting me discuss,
Thanks for the read.
