We most of the time while counting or separating more number of coins coins we will confuse at count or some coins mix up with other coins , then we start counting again, which is a hard task.
In this Instructable I will show you how to make an coin sorting machine with cardboard by which you can separate coins by dropping into this box.
I will be glad if you vote me for this instructables.
With some thick cardboard, a cutting knife, some hot glue, a ruler, and probably a bit of trial and error, you can create your own DIY coin sorting machine.The most important part - to measure needed coins and cut right holes . The key to the sorting“mechanism” is to cut the right size holes in the correct order—smallest to largest.

I recommend you to watch video at last step before start building , so that you can easily understand the steps following.
- Take 25cm x 5cm cardboard and mark the coin perimeter by separated by frequent distance.
- Draw the lines over the markings such that top and bottom edges are cut by 2mm and 2mm away from sides as shown in the picture.
- Cut according to markings.
- Apply glue on sides of the cardboard and fix 25cm x 2.5cm cardboard pieces.
