ABSTRACT:
A coin handling mechanism for vending machines has a coin validation sensor, a coin accepting gate, a plurality of coin distributing gates and a cutter for cutting a string which is suspending a deposited coin. When a coin suspended by a string is deposited in a coin inlet of the mechanism, the string is caught by the coin accepting gate before the coin reaches the coin distributing gates. When the string is then pulled towards the coin inlet in an attempt to remove the coin, the string is cut by the cutter. The coin with the cut string portion attached thereto then falls down in the machine. In this situation the coin distributing gates are automatically oriented to form a coin path communicating with a cash box therebelow. The coin with the cut string thus falls to the cash box, thereby preventing it from being paid or given to a customer.
