Abstract
This study is focused on providing automation on coin segregation through collecting by means of exchanging coins to cash or e-money. Thus helping coins go back to circulation which is beneficial for the country’s economy. This study Arduino UNO and Arduino programming language respectively. The machine will only process the Philippine peso coins: 10 cents, 25 cents, 1 peso, 5 peso and 10 peso. The machine passed the overall evaluation of the committee. Hence the result indicates that the machine is of good quality evidently to be technically and physically functional, capable of performing its system process. To validate the functionalities, test cases were considered as the validation of the specific functionalities of both the hardware and the mobile application on the research specific objectives. Based on the experimental test results, the output measurements from the serial monitor of the microcontroller are the same as the output measurements being displayed by the mobile application.
