2.4 Coin Entry Slot
This entry slot is used for inserting coins into the Vending Machine. Coins are
being placed into the slot then simply being pushed upwards.
Inserted coin value can be seen on the screen. If the inserted coin is not
defined or is an imitation then the coin drops down to the Coin Return Chute
and is not accepted.
2.5 Coin Return Chute
This chute is for the Change and/or Coins which cannot be validated.
Coins can be collected after falling into the return chute.
2.6 Cash Box
Cash Box is where accepted coins are collected (excess money over tubes).
For increased security the cash box has a padlock.
The cash box has to be checked and emptied periodically or the cash box can
be filled up with coins and coins may drop around which may cause problems.
