Design of an Embedded System for Fast Classification of Bimetallic Coins by Impedance Spectroscopy

A novel embedded impedance measurement system for counterfeit detection of bimetallic coins is presented. The system integrates Eddy current sensors with inductive spectroscopy, facilitating the detection of hidden inlay security features and the identification of surface minting. A salient feature of the system is the use of a single Eddy current sensor that operates across multiple frequencies. This feature eliminates the need for extensive calibration procedures typically required when multi ...
