Coin AcceptorA coin acceptor is a device that recognises coins. It is built into vending machines, arcade cabinets, etc. It performs its function by evaluating the coin based on its weight, size, and magnetism, and then sends an appropriate electrical signal via its output connection. The next step is generally performed by the coin changer. Simple mechanical coin acceptors are relatively easy to cheat by using slugs and other coin-like materials that pass the rudimentary validation. Today, sophisticated electronic coin acceptors are in use in some places that, in addition to validating weight and size, also "look" at the deposited coin using optics and match the image to a pre-defined list.
