ABSTRACT:
An arrangement in pay machines of the kind which include a coin or banknote verifier, a first computer unit which functions to activate an intermediate cash till or the like which is intended to guide coins or banknotes to a final cash till or to a coin cup from which the coins or banknotes can be recovered, and which also functions, subsequent to payment having been accepted, to activate devices for delivering the goods or the service for which payment has been made. The invention is characterized in that the arrangement includes a second computer unit (17) which is connected between the coin or banknote verifier (1) and the first computer unit (4); in that the second computer unit (17) is intended to detect a control signal or the like delivered by the first computer unit (4) to a device (5, 6) which functions to control the intermediate cash till and the final cash till; in that the second computer unit (17) has connected thereto a credit card reader (26) and one or more buttons (27, 28) which, when depressed, deliver to the second computer unit (17) a signal which corresponds to a given sum of money; and in that, when payment is made by credit card and the button or buttons (27, 28) are depressed and payment of a given sum has been accepted, the second computer unit (17) functions to deliver to the first computer unit (4) a signal which corresponds to receipt of the coin or banknote verifier (1) of one or more accepted coins constituting the sum required.
