I Built The Ultimate Lego Coin Sorter

I built a brand new coin sorter out of Lego! It can take a massive stack of coins and sort them out perfectly. It even works with different currencies!

If you want to build your own Lego coin sorter you can get the instructions here! brickstudios.store/products/working-lego-coin-sorter-instructions If you're wondering on how to get parts, the Bricklink Studio file comes with it which can be put directly into Bricklink to order pieces!

The quote on the side of the coin, "Standing on the shoulders of giants" is from Sir Isaac Newton. The full quote is "If I have seen further than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants."

[@mindoversoul]

Personally, I would add some transparent window elements to the drop areas, so the coins won't fly out, and you can either hinge them, or just create a basket that slides out to remove the coins.

[@adamrowell1588]

[@KidarWolf]

That's awesome. Have you considered making the collector at the bottom have drawers you can slide out to get the coins? Stick a clear window piece on the front so you can see it, because that's kind of aesthetically pleasing, but with deep drawers with a clear front, you'll be able to stop the coins jumping out when they've gone into their sorting slot.

[@brickstudiosYT]

That's actually a great idea! Might use that for whatever part 3 will be!

[@DreamtaleEnjoyer]

Literally all I wanted was to watch it work for a little while.... I've never been more disappointed before

[@Great_Bricks]

I tried making a coin sorter off your old one but this one is wayyyy better nice job😂

[@CowboyBricks10]

I think one thing you should add is a sort-of tub on the bottom of each one so that you can fit more coins in each slot! I think that would be quite helpful! Also maybe if it isn't too hard you could add a link to a parts list from Bricklink with the instructions? It would make it easier for us to find the parts if we choose to buy it.

[@brickstudiosYT]

Well the Bricklink Studio file actually comes with the instructions so you could upload that into Bricklink and get all the parts!

[@CowboyBricks10]

@@brickstudiosYT Oh ok thanks! What about making the tub sort of things for next time?

@@CowboyBricks10 It's actually a great idea! I'll probably make drawer type things so that coins don't fly out and then they can hold quite a few more coins.

[@mxclaireharris]

People have given the full quote for giants, but it means the future is the present standing on the shoulders of the past. It's about learning and improving. Just as you have with this video!

[@ianbelletti6241]

First of all, mirror your coin separator and reverse the motor direction so the tilt is the same direction as your sorter. Secondly, you don't need the drop holes to be the full length of the segment. If you shorten the dime drop hole you will make it more difficult for the pennies to drop down the dime slot. As far as the coin sorter goes, if you get a couple of studs close enough to the outer wall it should give the vertical coins a kick. You also need to build your separator support more sturdily and link the two sections together.

[@PikaMstr]

20:58 what was that? What are we?

[@SansDiamond]

you guys are euros

[@FateTheArcher]

Maybe something you could do to make the coin sorter more stable is making a hand-crank instead of using a motor. Part of the instability seems to be how much shaking is happening and that the legs cant support that movement. Improving the supporting legs to hold more weight, or switching away from the motor, might be the best way to fix the issues.

[@stellasdoesstuff]

I think a simple way to improve the sorter would be adding a tray to the bottom (similar to a dice tray under a dice tower) with raised boundaries between each coin so if they're flung out at the bottom, the coins don't mix. Also, ofc, reversing the direction if the loading machine so coins are tilted the correct way.

On the uk pound coins the phrase “ standing on the shoulders of giants “ is a reference to the giant’s causeway where there is a myth that a giant from Scotland lives in one of the caves

[@mrlegobrick]

came here to say this... although myth... kind of propaganda that would upset Nessy as well!

[@mikelibby990]

its actually a quote from issac newton the inclusion of the quote is to represent technological advancements, this coin is specifically representing the evolution from the iron age to mechanical age with its inner ring and the outer ring representing the advancement from mechanical to the computer age. which would not have been possible without sir issac newton, as qouted by the royal mint "This quotation, stressing that today's achievements would not be possible without the discoveries of the past, was felt to sum up the spirit of the reverse design. Since Sir Isaac Newton was himself Master of the Royal Mint, from 1699 to 1727, the choice of the quotation seemed particularly appropriate."

[@JDMLCO]

I wonder if you can use the vibration of the motor/spinner to help with the initial coin input instead of working against it. Use some lego rubber bands to suspend the assembly around a solid mount, and the vibrations could deal with things like the coin inputs getting coins stuck "on edge".

The spinny thingy might work better if it’s stationed to a baseplate, and if it’s also weighed down by something (either connect it to the sorter at the bottom or I know that Lego used to make bricks with weights in them (part 73090b) to hold down the baseplate

You can use axles in cross holes to make the right size, they won't move easily. Or even a worm gear.

[@Bobby_Go]

I wonder if adding nubs along the outer edge of the spinning wheel might help prevent coins from getting stuck? That way, instead of coins traveling between a nub and the edge, they would travel between 2 nubs. Using outer nubs like this might also help reorient coins that don't fall flat from the feeder. You could also then reposition the inner nubs to properly catch different sized coins.

[@Vee-ReXin]

I am surprised you didn't use hinged ladders on the sides where the coins fall to allow you to see the coins stack up, then allow you to open them and remove them.

[@kapsup.]

I think you should put like a spiny thing, like those in the water parks or marble machines to make the coins go down or a big ol slope instead of the motor spinner

[@Love_frogs98]

[@Zappr]

Hey m8, I like the vid! It’s pretty entertaining, but I do wanna let you know. Sometimes at the end of a sentence you do a sort of ‘giggle’ and it kinda gets grating if you do it too much in quick succession. For example, 17:57 It might feel like it’s breaking some sort of awkwardness or lightening the mood, but you should try delivering your lines more confidently. I don’t mean to hate or make you self-conscious, I just think improving on your delivery could be beneficial. Sometimes stuff becomes habit and we don’t really notice.

[@brickstudiosYT]

It's part of my personality which is what makes me, me. And I'm not gonna change that because it sounds "grating." It's not even loud or anything when I listen to it. If it bothers you so much then just don't watch the videos.
