Abstract
A drop coin mechanism for use with a coin authentication and counting apparatus prevents tampering with such apparatus and includes a faceplate defining an aperture therethrough for passage of a coin, the faceplate aperture being substantially completely offset from an entrance into the coin authenticating and counting apparatus. A slidable chamber enables moving the coin from a coin-receiving position to a coin-discharging position, the coin in the coin-receiving position being generally aligned with the faceplate aperture and substantially completely offset from the entrance to the coin authenticating and counting apparatus, the coin in the coin-discharging position being substantially completely offset from the faceplate aperture and generally aligned with the entrance to the coin authenticating and counting apparatus. Accordingly, no tool for tampering with the coin authenticating and counting apparatus can be inserted into the entrance thereof through the faceplate aperture.
