摘要： A token for use with a token operated device includes a plurality of predetermined optical characteristics. The plurality of predetermined optical characteristics are disposed in a substantially radially symmetrical manner with respect to the token, and each of the optical characteristics have the property of a facet wherein an effective surface normal of said facet is a line along a predetermined vector angle with an elevational angle ranging preferably between 30.degree. and 60.degree.. An azimuthal angle of the facet surface is other than substantially along a radial line of the token or substantially along a line tangent to an annular ring centered on the token such that a token operated device can validate the predetermined optical characteristics substantially independent of token orientation. A token testing apparatus includes a chute defined by a field adjustable pair of spaced token edge guides spaced a predetermined distance from each other such that each token passing through the chute is sensed along its center.

摘要翻译： 与令牌操作设备一起使用的令牌包括多个预定的光学特性。 多个预定的光学特性相对于令牌以大致径向对称的方式设置，并且每个光学特性具有小面的特性，其中所述小面的有效表面法线是沿着预定向量角度的线，其中 仰角优选在30°至60°之间。 小面表面的方位角不是基本上沿着令牌的径向线或基本上沿着与以令牌为中心的环形环相切的线的线，使得令牌操作的装置可以基本上独立于令牌取向来验证预定的光学特性。 令牌测试装置包括由相互间隔预定距离的间隔的令牌边缘引导件的可调整对的一对限定的滑槽，使得沿着其中心感测穿过滑槽的每个标记。
