OVERVIEW
In all of our arcade games we use the Coin Mechanisms, Inc. brand of coin mechanism, unless
the customer requests a different brand.
Mechanical Coin Mechanisms
When a player inserts a coin or token, it travels through a chute to the coin mechanism. The coin
travels down onto a weighted lever that slows the coin and flips it over in front of a magnet. If
the coin used is too light, it will get stuck on that weighted lever. If it is too heavy, the coin will
be shot straight past the magnet and out the coin return slot. As the coin passes the magnet, the
magnetic field slows the coin down enough to change its path and pass the coin by the coin
switch. The coin mechanisms are replaceable and are available for a variety of coin sizes and
tokens.
Coin Comparator (Electrical) Mechanisms
Also available is an electronic coin comparator that is used if you need high security, or have an
unusual token or coin size. The coin comparator uses a good coin to compare to the coin being
inserted. A coin must first pass the comparing circuit and register as a good coin, then travel past
both optical sensors, in the correct direction, within a pre-determined time. If a coin is passed by
the optical sensor backwards, as if on a string, the comparator will detect it and cause an
inhibit. The inhibit will cause a complete rejection of any coin, good or bad, for 16 seconds.
After that time, the unit resets itself.
