A rotating steel disc used in coin hoppers to dispense coins. Small metal “pins” or raised points located along the outer circumference of the pinwheel provide individual “pockets” where coins can ride along as the pinwheel rotates. As the coins reach the exit point of the hopper, they are stripped off the pinwheel by the hopper knife.
